WWE’s Rey Mysterio Compares Early Career With Dominik Mysterio

WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio has recently compared his early career to that of his son and Judgment Day member, Dominik Mysterio.

During a recent appearance on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg, Mysterio looked at where he was at the age of 27, being the age of his own son now.

Dominik started training in 2018 and made his debut as an adult in March 2019, leading to his first match at SummerSlam in August 2020 against Seth Rollins.

By contrast, Rey Mysterio made his wrestling debut at the age of 14 in Mexico back in 1989.

Speaking to Rosenberg about their respective paths, Mysterio said:

“It’s even hard to compare. Well, a 27[-year-old] Dominik and a 27[-year-old] Rey Mysterio, I had already been through AAA, ECW, WCW and already hanging out in WWE, so it’s a very good comparison.

“But Dom, from the moment he started up until now, four years give or take, my first four years in the business overall [were] horrible. There’s no way I would have been in the spot that Dominik has in four years of being in the business.”

Rey Mysterio would go on to discuss what he seems in his son as a WWE star, noting:

“I see his range of motion, his way to connect with the fans, his instinct. Overall, [Dominik] has a great sense of direction of where he sees himself in that particular time, which is something that you can’t teach. That just kind of happens in the ring.”

He would also note that Dominik has grown up in the wrestling industry and has been able to gradually pick up a number of the aspects of in-ring and character work.

From this exposure, he has revealed these aspects in his own work which Rey Mysterio thinks has been “really cool” to witness.

Previously, Rey Mysterio has revealed that he always knew his own son would surpass him and that he would “take it to the next level.”
