“I’m carrying lineage, my family, and history on my shoulders”
Dominik Mysterio wrestled the most memorable match of his career at WrestleMania 39. He lost to his father, the legendary Rey Mysterio, but held his own on the biggest stage.
“I’m carrying lineage, my family, and history on my shoulders. My six godfathers, who are all legends, I’m not going to let them down.”Only five years into his career, Mysterio has traveled a path quite unlike the majority of his peers. Not only is he the son of a wrestling icon, but he was also thrust into a WWE storyline when he was only eight. He was the center of attention between his father and Eddie Guerrero, who famously fought for custody over Dominik.
“But I had a lot of support behind me. Plus, I was so busy with my head down working. I didn’t have time to focus on the outside noise. But if it weren’t for going my own way and sh----- on my Edge and my dad, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”One of the unsung heroes in Mysterio’s rise is wrestling great Konnan, who is his godfather.
“Judgement Day, they really helped me out,” said Mysterio. “My confidence, my in-ring presence, they put me in a position to do my best. Finn and Damian are incredible in matches, the way they put together matches. Finn is amazing at that. It comes so naturally to him. Damian gives me advice, too, the type where he says to do something in a match and it turns out incredibly. I’d get all the credit, but it was all his idea.
