Rey Mysterio was recently interviewed by The Apter Chat and touched on several aspects of his time in WCW. Check out highlights below.
“It was such an awesome experience because ECW was like the gateway for you to eventually get picked up by WWE or WCW. That was in a way a smaller platform, without disrespecting the company, to eventually get picked up by bigger companies,” said Mysterio. “It was such a cool experience. Keep in mind too that these were all new phases in my career that I was enjoying very much. I never had a plan to make it to WWE. I never had a plan to make it to WCW. These were all just experiences that I was just going through and living the moment. I was just enjoying my wrestling.”
“I’ll tell you, that moment was one of those moments that will be talked about for a very long time,” Mysterio said. “Still to this day, after 20 years, it’s something that you take with you. How impactful it was because of Nash, how big he was, and how small I was at the time. Just the comparison in size and him just catching me and throwing me. It’s just moments that you cherish. Those are game changers. Those are life changers in this business.”
