During an interview on the No Contest Wrestling podcast, Dominik Mysterio shared his heartfelt reaction to the passing of WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero in 2005, reflecting on the profound impact Guerrero had on his life both personally and professionally.
Mysterio said, “[Back in] ’05 when I was still young at the time but when Eddie passed and just seeing the community. I don’t remember showing emotion as a kid unless I was like physically hurt…cause never nothing really [bothered me]. I always kept to myself. I remember when we were watching at home when Eddie had passed and the video package that they played with the Three Doors Down song. I just remember I started crying as a kid watching this and remembering him. Just what he had done with me and just everything that we had gone through in that angle. So I remember that as a wrestling fan that got me. Because I knew I wasn’t gonna see him again.”
“Then now as an adult being in the business, it kind of sucks even more. Cause not only did I know him as a person and I got to be in the ring with him but I get to appreciate his work so much more now. Because it’s just…I’m living through it, trying to honor it. Looking at his matches and seeing how good he was, it just really…it makes me appreciate so much more the time I did get to spend with him.”
