WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio has always been vocal about the impact of his late friend and wrestling legend Eddie Guerrero on his career. Recently, Mysterio took to social media to pay an emotional tribute to the Hall of Famer, highlighting a new biographical episode produced by WWE that showcased Guerrero’s remarkable legacy.
In a heartfelt tweet, Mysterio shared a video clip that celebrated Guerrero’s life and career, featuring many wrestlers replicating his iconic frog splash. The tweet was accompanied by a caption that quoted the opening phrase of Guerrero’s entrance theme, “Viva La Raza,” a testament to the lasting impact the late wrestler had on Mysterio’s life and career.
The tribute came as the wrestling world marked the 18th anniversary of Guerrero’s untimely passing on November 13, 2005. Mysterio, who has often spoken about the significant influence Guerrero had on his life and career, used the occasion to reflect on the what-ifs. In a poignant Instagram post, Mysterio imagined a scenario where Guerrero would have crossed paths with his son, Dominik Mysterio, in WWE, had he been alive today.
This is not the first time Mysterio has spoken about the impact of Guerrero on his life. Last year, he penned a heartfelt note about how his son could have benefited from Guerrero’s influence had he been alive. Guerrero’s presence continues to be deeply felt in Mysterio’s heart, and he often finds ways to honor his memory.
Despite the emotional tribute, Mysterio remains focused on his in-ring career, delivering top-tier matches in WWE. Rumors are circulating about a potential match where he might put his mask on the line, a challenge that would be a testament to his enduring legacy as a luchador.
As Mysterio continues to harbor and honor the memories of his late friend, his commitment to carrying on Guerrero’s legacy is clear. The emotional tribute serves as a reminder of the profound impact Guerrero had on Mysterio’s life and career, and the wrestling world at large.
