Speaking on The Schmo, The Judgment Day member claimed that his father, Rey Mysterio, has been past his prime in the ring. Dominik suggested that his father should step back and hang up his wrestling boots for good. Dom even went on to say that ‘The Master of the 619’ hides his face behind his mask because he looks ugly without it.

I want him to retire. I’ve been telling his old a** he’s got to go. He’s old, he’s washed. He’s still hiding behind that ugly mask. He’s ugly and that’s why he’s hiding behind that mask. He needs to retire, he needs to go home.
