Donald Wood: The biggest news for wrestling fans is that you will be main eventing Triple A’s Triplemanía 23 against Myzteziz (formerly Sin Cara) in a dream match on Sunday, August 9th on PPV. For fans watching Triple A for the first time thanks to the English commentary, what can they expect from the show overall and from the main event between you and Myzteziz?

“Well that match between us is going to a legacy defining match. There is a lot of animosity and egos that are going to come into play that night. I have to point out that this match was made for the fans by the fans. The fans were the number one critiques on who is better? Rey Mysterio or Myzteziz. At one point I left Mexico to continue my career globally and a new star came about. He is known now as Myzteziz, but back then he was known as Mistico and then Sin Cara when he joined WWE. I would have to say the fans in their eyes see a lot of similarities between us. We even tagged at one point in the WWE and now here we are against each other thanks to the fans.”

Mike Chiari: You and Myzteziz teamed together in WWE and it seemed as though there were always rumors about the two of you facing each other, and that match possibly happening at WrestleMania. How close did that match come to happening in WWE, and why do you think it never did?

“Due to the fact that I had already previous injuries on top of my knee benched me for quite some time. When I came back we started teaming up and we were heading somewhere. There wasn’t a concrete story line, but we were going out there and putting on one hell of a show for the fans. We were barely at the stage of getting the fans acclimated with our style and who Myzteziz was. His injuries came into play as well and then of course he was released. Then of course later on my release with me not wanting to resign with the WWE so it didn’t happen and we parted ways. We didn’t give the WWE the time to invest in both names and the product. Now it is happening at last here in Triple A.”
