Rey Mysterio: “I Carry Eddie’s Soul With Me Everywhere I Go”

WWE.com spoke to Rey Mysterio after he won a fatal-5-way elimination match on last night’s Raw to become the number one contender for Seth Rollins’ Universal Championship.

Rey spoke about how he owes everything to his son Dominick, who convinced him not to retire from wrestling a few weeks ago.

“This is my inspiration right now. This is what I live for, this is what I do in the ring for. Right here, and of course all my fans, but this man right here is the one to convince me not to retire, that’s why I’m still here.”

“I’m really honored to have my son next to me, to have him want to do what his father has been doing for over 30 years and to want him follow in my footsteps. I think this man right here, my son Dominick is gonna be bigger than his old man.”

He then spoke about Eddie Guerrero and how Dominick was inspired by Eddie to become a wrestler.

“That first title that I won at WrestleMania was because of Eddie. Eddie was there with me, Eddie presented me with that title and the victory was in the name of Eddie Guerrero. If this happens to be another experience like the one at WrestleMania 22, then what can I say? But Eddie, in or out of the ring, he’s always with me. I carry Eddie’s soul with me everywhere I go and I always send out a little tribute to Eddie just because it makes you feel like his presence is there. He’s with me in the good and in the bad. I love Eddie to death and I will always love him.”
