Rey Mysterio was interviewed by Live Audio Wrestling. Here are the highlights:
- Rey is hoping this last knee surgery was his last surgery. He said he has been told to tone it down in the ring, but said it’s not in his nature to do so.
- He said wrestling in Mexico has been picking up recently, and he enjoyed returning to Mexico apart of WWE’s summer tour. Rey said Mistico wants to be the next Rey Mysterio Jr.
- He said he doesn’t have any contact with Mistico, but said everyone wants to be apart of WWE. Rey said his tryout with WWE either didn’t go well, or his boss wouldn’t allow him to jump.
- He said Konnan introduced him to Antonio Pena. Rey said Pena was about breaking the barrier and taking it to the next level. He credits Pena with giving him his first big break in the wrestling business, putting him on national television.
- He said Konnan is his son’s godfather. “He’s a fighter,” said Mysterio. Rey said Konnan is doing better. Mysterio said he is proud of him.
- “I took it very hard,” said Mysterio when asked about the Chris Benoit tragedy. He said he traveled with Benoit and they worked out together. He said their families were close. He said he learned from Eddy’s passing that you just have to move on.
- He said it was harder for him to learn the news about Benoit being at home, rather than being on the road with the boys. Rey said he still prays for Benoit, and hopes he’s with God.
