Rey Mysterio On How He Trains Dominik Mysterio And About Retirement Match With Him
Rey Mysterio started his professional wrestling career in 1989 and worked with several wrestling promotions including WCW, AAA, NJPW and WWE. He became more popular star in WWE and won every major title in the company.
He is currently working in WWE along with son Dominik Mysterio, who recently started his wrestling career. In his recent appearance on Not About Wrestling podcast, Rey spoke about how it was to grow up in a wrestling family. He said that he still uses old school techniques and methods to trains his son Dominik.
“I still tap into the old school mentality roots, where I don’t praise him for doing something good. I always tell him you can do so much better, and I think that is the key to perfecting certain things in life. In this case, in this sport which is eventually in time gonna make him better, but I am pretty rough on Dominick, and I love it too. I can’t be easy on him.”
During the podcast, Rey Mysterio was also asked about his retirement plans and possibility of having his son retire him. Then, Mysterio said that he would leave a high note by winning gold with his son than being retired by him.
“I haven’t thought about him retiring me, but I have thought about winning gold together. A lot of people have said, “I can see Dominik retiring you, and you fighting your son”. That is what everybody expects to happen, but why not leave the ending of this story on a high note. Retiring with my hands raised up high, Mayweather style. I’m hoping I can be the first one to say “that’s it” and that’s it.”
There are only few superstars in the history to work alongside their children and Rey Mysterio is one of them. Currently, Rey and Dominik Mysterio are in blue brand and feuding with King Corbin.
