"It's on a different level" - Rey Mysterio on how tag team glory with Dominik compares to past accomplishments
This past Sunday at WrestleMania Backlash, Rey Mysterio captured the WWE SmackDown Tag Team titles with his son Dominik against Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler.
It's an accomplishment that Rey Mysterio says is on another level compared to everything else he's done in his hall of fame-worthy career.
Earlier this week, Mysterio and his son Dominik were guests on ESPN SportsNation to discuss their big title win at WrestleMania Backlash. Rey was asked to compare this title success with his son compared to his past accomplishments in his wrestling career.
Rey Mysterio proudly boasted that he and Dominik becoming the first father and son tag team champions is an indescribable feeling.
"I don't take anything away from all my accomplishments in the past, but it's on a different level, the fact that I've shared the ring with Dom and have become the first father and son Tag Team Champions. It's indescribable," Mysterio said. "He's been doing it since he was a kid. We did a story with Eddie Guerrero, rest in peace, when he was eight years old. It was already cemented within him that one day he would be part of this great industry and now here we are. He's a great listener in the ring and a great follower. Now he has to get better in time."

Dominik also had high praise for his dad, saying what a blessing it was to come to work with him.
"I'm just honored to share the ring with him, what a blessing, to come to work and do it with my dad," Dominik said.
Judging from Rey Mysterio's comments, we wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't care about anything else that comes after this point in his career. Nothing could possibly top the moment he experienced on Sunday at WrestleMania Backlash with his son.
