Dominik Mysterio recently shared his emotional recollection of the impact Eddie Guerrero’s tragic passing had on him as a young child. Guerrero, who passed away in November 2005, had been deeply involved in a storyline earlier that year, where he feuded with Dominik’s father, Rey Mysterio. During a recent appearance on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, Dominik opened up about his feelings at the time, reflecting on how the loss affected him as both a fan and someone personally connected to the wrestling world. You can watch the highlights of his heartfelt conversation below, courtesy of Wrestling Inc.
Dominik Mysterio on Eddie Guerrero’s passing:
“I was still young at the time. I don’t remember showing emotion as a kid unless I was like physically hurt… I always kept to myself. So I remember when we’re watching at home when Eddie had passed, and the video package that they played with the Three Doors Down song, and I just remember crying as a kid watching this. Remembering him, and just what he had done with me, and just everything that like we had gone through and that angle, you know? So I remember that as a wrestling fan, because I knew I wasn’t gonna see him again.”
Dominik Mysterio on growing to appreciate Eddie Guerrero more as a performer:
“I get to appreciate his work so much more now. Because I’m living through it, trying to honor it, and just looking at his matches and seeing how good he was. It makes me appreciate so much more the time I did get to spend with him.”
