Rey Mysterio

I’ve always thought it would be really cool if one day, just one day after I retire that I would get to be a part of the legends that paved the way for us. So, the fact that I was Hispanic, the fact that I was wearing a mask and the fact that I was doing the style of wrestling that I have been doing for the past 34 years, piled into one, was incredible man. During the time in WCW when I lost the mask, I honestly believed that if I wouldn’t have lost the mask, the giant killer wouldn’t have been born. To be able to say I was one of the pioneers that kind of opened up in a way, that style of wrestling. I don’t think anybody else in that that time was given the opportunity. Very thankful for guys like the Kevin Nashs and Scott Halls, that I was able to work with in WCW that gave me the opportunity for people to believe in smaller guys.
