Female AEW star recalls unexpected meeting with Rey Mysterio - "He had no mask"
An AEW star recently recalled her conversation with WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. The star in question is none other than Thunder Rosa.
The former AEW Women's World Champion arrived in All Elite Wrestling in 2021. Before inking a deal with Tony Khan, She performed on the Independent circuit. Rosa wrestled on a STARDOM show in 2015, which gave her the opportunity to meet with legendary names like the Guerrero family and WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. The Master of the 619 is one of the greatest high-flyers in wrestling history and still performs full-time in the Stamford-based promotion.
Speaking in an interview with Maria Menounos, Thunder Rosa stated that meeting Mysterio was the best experience of her life.
"When I met him, he had no mask and I remember I was in the waiting room and he came to the side and he's like, 'Hi, I'm Oscar.' I was like, 'Hi, nice to meet you,' and then three seconds later I was like, 'Rey Mysterio!' and he was like, 'Yeah, that's me. He was so kind and watching him and like the perfection and like the timing and just everything about him, I was like, 'Wow, I'm in the presence of royalty.' You know, it was just... it was really cool. It was the best experience for me as a performer and also as a wrestler because their tenacity and, like, their perfection of some of the people that I work with really motivated me to do better and to be more, and to like really — it was like a fast track to everything else that I was going to do in life."
