Follow Us
Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero’s 2005 feud is regarded as one of the greatest rivalries of all time. The rivalry got more intense and personal as it involved Mysterio’s family too wherein Mysterio’s son Dominik would be involved in a storyline with Eddie telling him that he was his original father and not Rey. Dominik was at a very tender age at that time and Rey had once told how Eddie would regularly ask him if he was doing fine.
WWE storylines can get too real sometimes affecting real life personas of the superstars as well. What made the storyline more real was the fact that it wasn’t only limited to the ring as Eddie and Dominik ‘s relationship would also be filmed outside the ring as well. It was a storyline that had never taken place in WWE before this and the interesting fact is the storyline hasn’t been repeated since then.
Rey Mysterio talks about the impact of Eddie Guerrero storyline on his son Dominik
This is why the feud finds a special place as one the most iconic storylines of all time. Rey Mysterio while talking to Fox News recalled how the storyline had drastically affected his son Dominik in real life. Rey said that his son was continuously being harassed at the school and his teachers were worried about him.
They would often ask Dominik if everything was fine at home and is there anything that they could do to help him. Mysterio then said that when his son told this Mysterio went to school authorities to address the issue and told them it was all part of the entertainment business. Mysterio said- “I remember approaching the teacher and telling her as you know this is all part of the entertainment business.”
“Nothing that is happening on TV is real. So, everything is OK no worries. You don’t have to worry about anything. I think the only thing we have to worry about is when Dom misses school that he’s able to take his homework with him and do it when he’s on the road. But besides that, everything was OK.”
Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero’s feud culminated at SummerSlam 2005 wherein they fought for the custody of Dominik Mysterio where Rey would defeat Eddie in one of the most remarkable matches of his career. In the interview Mysterio also talked about his upcoming documentary which will be featured on A&E’s Biography: WWE Legends Season 2.
Mysterio said he is at that stage of his career where he needs to tell his story. He said that people would be able to know how he his career started and what challenges he had to overcome to reach the position he is at today.
