The WWE veteran opened up about still wrestling at 49 years old
In late 2023, Rey Mysterio made an appearance on The MMA Hour. He shared his detailed thoughts on wrestling at his age. Check out his comments below:
"Obviously, the way I've been working for the past 34 years, I've modified my work a lot, for the best, but still being able to invest the audience in watching Rey Mysterio," he said. "I always like to come up, create moves that fans can say, 'Wow, he's still doing it.' That's part of my growth and has part of what's been keeping me healthy to be able to keep doing what I do. Sometimes they tell me, 'Bro, you don't have to keep doing this thing [where] you slide underneath the ropes and hit the ground.' But I love doing it, I like giving the fans always something special." (H/T WrestlingInc)
Mysterio has done quite well for himself under the Triple H regime so far. He recently picked up a huge win over his son Dominik Mysterio. Rey and Andrade teamed up in a winning effort against Dirty Dom and Santos Escobar at WrestleMania XL. This was Mysterio's second straight WrestleMania victory over his son. Last year, the legend defeated Dominik in a singles match at WrestleMania 39 after feuding with him for months on end.
