Rey Mysterio Reveals Why He Signed With Lucha Underground, WWE

Rey Mysterio recently spoke with Podnasty, here are the highlights…

On Signing With Lucha Underground: “This is the style that I grew up (in), the style that I started training, this is my base, my fundamental,” said Mysterio. “I never dreamed of going to WWE or WCW, my dream was always making it to CMLL because AAA didn’t exist back then. And then, next thing you know AAA started, the opportunity came. My base was always high-flying. I always wanted to get the opportunity to show the world what I can do. So there was no other company out there that was displaying that but Lucha Underground. When I saw the first season, I was blown away.”

Does He Still Watch WWE?: “On occasion, now that Alberto (Del Rio) went back, I’m good friends with Alberto so I keep him on point. Lucha Dragons, I’m great friends with the Sin Cara that’s there right now. I can’t watch a whole show, not even when I was there. Actually, when I was there I would hardly watch the shows. I would DVR them, but it was just hard for me to sit down and watch wrestling, not because it was a bad show or a good show, it was just because when I got home I didn’t want to have nothing to do with wrestling. I just wanted to be around my kids and my wife.”
