How to Do a 619 Like Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio's "619" maneuver, named after the area code of his hometown San Diego, is one of the most exciting moves in wrestling. Mysterio uses his speed and agility with the ring ropes to help take down his much bigger opponents.

Instructions

    • 1

      Knock your opponent into the ropes. He should be draped over the bottom rope with his head leaning out over the ring apron.

    • 2

      Run across the ring to the opposite end. Spin around so you'll run backwards into the ropes. Using the ropes to slingshot your body, run all the way back to your opponent.

    • 3

      Grab the bottom and middle ropes in each hand as you approach them. If the opponent's to your left, you should have your left hand on the bottom and your right hand on the middle.

      Lap and turn your body so it's parallel to the mat and facing outside the ring. Swing your body through the ropes and back around to your opponent so your feet hit him in the face, knocking him back to the mat backwards.
