WWE wrestler Dominik Mysterio recent sat down with Metro UK and talked about his famous, or infamous depending how you look at it, storyline from 2005. The angle which featured his real father Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero in a ladder match at Summerslam for custody of young Dominik.
I remember that storyline vividly. Being able to work with the great Eddie Guerrero, first person I ever got to work with. I’m very blessed. As an eight-year-old, I was excited to skip school and travel with my dad and get given candy by Eddie. It was a great time…..he was just such a good guy, you know? Seeing him with my dad, they were best friends.
Dominik then went on to talk about having to explain the story to his teachers
For me, it was harder to have to explain to the kids at school who my dad was. I think that was the most challenging part. Oh yeah, 100% people were coming up to me asking me – even teachers, they were like, “Who’s your father, Dominik?” I’d be like, “Well it’s Rey Mysterio, this guy right here, Oscar”. It was crazy.’
Rey Mysterio did in fact win that custody Ladder match and the storyline is still spoken about these days. Wrestling fans took to social media a few weeks ago to take the stroll down memory lane when it seemed like WWE was trying to bring the story back to life with Seth Rollins, thankfully it was not.
