Mysterio’s WWE United States Title Win Puts Him in a Unique Category with the WCW Legend
Rey Mysterio, a stalwart in the world of professional wrestling, has added another feather to his cap. After winning the United States title on SmackDown last week, Mysterio has now joined an exclusive list alongside fellow WWE Hall of Famer, Goldberg.
