There’s definitely no hard feelings with WWE. I’m very thankful to them for the opportunity that was given to me. Rey Mysterio Read Quote
I always think to myself that if I was able to transition from lucha libre style to American style, then I can always go back. You never lose your roots. Rey Mysterio Read Quote
Growing up in wrestling, I would see my uncle put on his mask before he walked into auditoriums. The kids would run up to him and ask for autographs and pictures, and seeing him lacing up his boots in the locker room and putting on his mask before heading to the ring, that was all so real to me. That was the modern day superhero to me. Rey Mysterio Read Quote

I think a lot of the fans want to see the high-flying action and be entertained. I don’t think there is a better division out there than the cruiserweights to do that.

I have to say, the first time I stepped into the ring, it was probably at the age of 4. That’s when I was hanging out with my uncle, my mom’s brother, Rey Mysterio Sr. It runs in the family; it’s stayed in the family. Rey Mysterio Read Quote
We all have split personalities; we all wear masks at some point in our careers. Rey Mysterio Read Quote
There’s a huge fan base behind NXT, which is cool because that opens up the door to younger talent that maybe at one point thought that it was impossible to ever get into WWE, but now, there it is. Rey Mysterio Read Quote
