Dave Meltzer discussed Rey Mysterio’s status in the recent issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter and indicated that Mysterio’s asking price could ultimately hold him back from promotions like Ring of Honor and New Japan.
Both ROH and NJPW are looking to expand and Mysterio would be a great fit as it would be a fresh crop of talents he could go up against. The real issue is that Mysterio’s asking price is $10,000 per appearance, which is way higher than anyone in Ring of Honor and probably more than what New Japan is willing to pay.
In regards to Mysterio possibly making a return to WWE, Meltzer mentioned that the deal appears to be dead.
