Leaving on good terms is having your friends trying to start a free Rey campaign?
He was expendable as far as 5 years ago. Should try stay on "good terms" in hopes that legends contract comes in and he doesn't have to slum it and have to carry Mysteries or whatever Sin Cara 1s name is, in Podunk Mexican villages.

Im sure Mysterio made high 6 figures, if not low 7 figures for the better part of his WWE run. He was one of the highest selling merchandising cash cows the WWE had. I am sure he isn't hurting or wont be any time soon.
It's not the money, I'm not his financial advisor. Legends contract means he name would still be used by the biggest company in the world and making sure they stay relevant.
So of this business is such a work, I really don't know how poorly that went over with Vince. But let's put it this way, Vince has always been willing to do business with people who have done far worse. If it's a good business deal, and your name isn't Randy, I think Vince has an open mind.
As a worker, the guy was expendable years ago. As intellectual property that helped build popularity with the kid and latino market, I think he still held value. Still does. When the guy's ready to call it a career, signing him on to do a Hall of Fame show and appearances in latin markets as an ambassador could make good business sense. They could still make some revenue off the character for a low price where he's not wrestling, and they're not worrying about his personal life continuing to crap all over the WWE's corporate image.

Most interesting thing I remember konan saying doing free Rey was than Trips pitched to him working solely at NXT and Rey agree, Vince didnt. That was obviously the best middle ground IMO especially with the brand blowing up, but oh well I half way get it from Vince because you don't want a 7 figure act in NXT. That said guys like Rey, RVD, and the like would actually be perfect for NXT

Rey is clearly HOF material. That's not even a question.
I always preferred Rey 2002 on or until his body really started fallin' apart. I felt WWE made him wrestle safer and smarter with all the tools he already had leadin' to better matches. Yeah, I think Rey/Eddie at Halloween Havoc is vastly overrated but I get why people like it. It's kind of sad he never got a true Wrestlemania final match with all the years he missed Mania because of injuries. Still it was Wrestlemania 22 that he got to be Eddie Guerrero so he got his moment. So a very solid career nonetheless and a Hispanic legend if there ever was one.
