Rey Mysterio Recalls His Son Paying Tribute to Eddie Guerrero in WrestleMania 38 Match

– During a recent chat with Sam Roberts at Fanatics Fest in New York City, Rey Mysterio recalled teaming with his son Dominik Mysterio against Logan Paul and The Miz at WrestleMania 38. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Rey Mysterio on paying tribute to Eddie Guerrero at WrestleMania 38: “It was, how much of a tribute can we pay to Eddie. Dom was watching a lot of Art Barr videos. His version of the frog splash compared to Eddie’s version of the frog splash. So that kind of idea [came about], doing the Mexican American flags that represent both Eddie and Art.”

On how his son Dominik is gifted: “Dom and I were rehearsing some moves that we wanted to practice for that pay-per-view. Dom did this dive where he jumped on the second and was going to do like a crossbody to the opposite side. He had planned that dive and I told him, ‘I bet you won’t do it into a twister.’ And he didn’t pay attention to me. But when he jumped to bounce off the rope and do the crossbody, he actually turned it mid-air and I was like, ‘Oh.’ Right then and there, I knew that there was something inside of him that I couldn’t explain. He just had a gift.”

Logan Paul and The Miz were victorious in the matchup. Rey Mysterio was later inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame the following year before WrestleMania 39. He defeated his own son, Dominik Mysterio, at last year’s event.
