Brian Fritz of Sporting News recently spoke to Rey Mysterio who was promoting AAA’s TripleMania event which will take place this Sunday. You can check out the interview here and read some highlights below:
Being launched like a lawn dart by Kevin Nash:
“Such a memorable moment, something that spontaneously came up in my mind,” Mysterio said. “I thought, let me just jump on top of the rail out of a trailer and dive on you. Pick me up, press me and throw me against the trailer. When you’re young, you’re fearless and you can do so many things. Then years later you think, I can’t believe I did that. It’s just one of those moments that really stuck in people’s minds.
“The launching of the nWo and what comes out it — that time Rey was launched into the trailer like a human lawn dart. I’m happy and I’m blessed to have been part of that whole initiation of the new era of this industry.”
On parting ways with WWE:
“WWE, they agreed on my departure. At first, it felt kind of like you have to make up time for your injury status that you’ve had throughout the past. But when the meeting came down, I really expressed my feeling towards them as far as me wanting to sit back and be a family man and not consistently beat up my body like I had been for years. They were very understanding about it. No hard feelings from both sides. We ended in a very amicable way. I started enjoying my life at home.”
