- Rey Mysterio (@reymysterio) is a legendary professional wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer. He sits down with Chris Van Vliet in Las Vegas to talk about his incredible career and the fact that he is still wrestling in WWE, being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame as an active wrestler, his son Dominik developing his heel persona, never wrestling Triple H in WWE, his thoughts on retirement, how he developed the 619 as a wrestling move, being swung on a stretcher by Big Show, his favorite mask, getting thrown like a lawn dart by Kevin Nash, the rumor that he was a stunt double in the horror movie Freddy vs. Jason, his iconic match against Eddie Guerrero at Halloween Havoc in 1997, winning the Royal Rumble from the #2 spot, never turning heel in WWE and much more!

Interviewing Rey Mysterio on episode 619. I love it.😂😂😂
Deliberate 😂
That's the way it needs to be done! There's a method to Chris's madness 😂

Even at almost 50 he's still jacked

Such a good humble man
Episode 619? Now that’s Booyaka Booyaka.
As a Mexican American myself, I’m grateful to have grown up watching Rey Mysterio! All time favorite!
i am an American American
@@mattalan6618very cool, dude! 👍🏼
@@mattalan6618 so you are native American? or else you are not really american american.
@@mattalan6618 typical TH-cam commenter just being racist to random people
@mattalan6618 youre a dork dork
The closest we ever got to a heel Rey was in Smackdown vs Raw 2011 in the Road to Wrestlemania storyline lmao 😂, OGs will remember that one 👌🏻
I wish 2K would implement the ability to make a certain attire have the face or heel entrance and reaction to it. I liked that feature they had for Rey in that game, but it seems they never used it again
blud teamed up with swagger of all people 💀
Yep.😂😂😂
and wwe '12. He turns heel in the created character storyline as a member of team wcw, with a finger poke of doom lol
Even then his mask was 🔥 when he was heel in that game. So now I'm more curious to how his other masks would be looking, if he was Heel.
Rey is so humble and has achieved so much. He’s incredible and we are so lucky we’ve gotten to watch him perform.
Hey CVV, I was into wrestling as a kid but slowly grew out of it. However ever since I've found your videos, I've started to fall back in love with the product/storytelling. You're doing amazing work and we appreciate it.
Oh wow, that’s awesome. Welcome back to wrestling!
Same here
@ChrisVanVliet buaka is actually a jamaica 🇯🇲 term that is use like boom like right in your face kinda scenario
Couldn't have said it better! Super interviews. ❤
Back in the mid 2000s, Rey Mysterio alongside Batista & Undertaker were one of my favorite childhood wrestlers, back in the good old Friday Night SmackDown days.
Rey Mysterio not only brought the lucha libre style by storm but also opened a door for future luchadors, high flying, & Hispanic stars of the ring.
I thank Rey Mysterio for the childhood memories & he still amazes me to this day.
I really do wish Eddie was still alive for you to interview him. The stories he can tell. I’m sure Rey will be emotional talking about him
Sadly he barely asked Rey about Eddie :(
Yeah miss Eddie , true legend gone way to soon.😢
Eddie and dom's current character would seriously be so funny see Rey dom's my son I told you all those years ago 😅😅😅
@@six6one1nine9bc they link Rey to Eddie and Rey is his own person and is an interview about Rey
Bc he has been asked about Eddie every damn interview. Vicky does not like the Rey and Eddie narrative. It was more Eddie and Benoit irl.@@six6one1nine9
The Mexican Undertaker. He's never without the mask in public. Now that Mark is not in kayfabe, Rey has actually been "in character" longer than any wrestler in history.
His true personality itself is his character or gimmick so to say and that's something special. I can't think of anyone else. Only Rey makes it work. His humble and honest character is so special.
Ever hear of El Santo?
@@Just_A_Tim no sir. I'm gonna assume he's on of the OG luchadores, right? The Saint.
@@thequixoticangler3364 that's right. Legendary luchador, there are movies and comics featuring him, though his real name was El Enmascarado de Plata (The Man in the Silver Mask,) the fans just took to calling him El Santo on their own. After he became El Santo, he never made a public appearance without his mask and only once in an interview shortly before his death did he show his face, his own son didn't even know his father was El Santo for many years. El Santo still has some years on Rey of being "in character."
@@Just_A_Tim Just looked him up. Dang! Dude was Bob Dylan famous in his heyday. An entire adult life in character to please the people. Rey will probably get there. He's the most insanely dedicated wrestler of my era.
IMO, the reason lucha libre is even a thing in America is because ECW brought the style here. WCW certainly was the peak for it as far as major TV goes.
The Cruiserweight belt and division in WCW between 96-99 is pound for pound the best division ever. It was nothing but PPV level sht for 3 years.
Rey was the obvious star. Eddie was the best talker. If not for them, I don't know what a luchadore is.
you can tell how proud he is of Dom with how often he talks about him.
No one ever talks about how Rey always has the best drip. Fits always on point, mask to match, etc. his fashion game has always been insane
Best dressed in all of wrasslin.
Rey was the guy who got me into wrestling, 619 forever 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
I was 6 when that Halloween Havoc PPV happened. That’s one of my earliest memories of wrestling. I’ve been a Rey Mysterio fan ever since.
Rey Mysterio and Jeff Hardy are the best ever GOATS for me 💜
High flyers for life
once upon a time i would say tha about Jeff. but he can't really control his demons so i no longer am a fan of his
@@mattalan6618Jeff is one of the GOATs, regardless of his personal life. I like his music too. I’m not going to turn on him for having his issues. We just have to wish him the best and hope he can fight his demons. He’s only human.
@@mattalan6618 Oh so you know for a fact that Jeff is using again? You know nothing about how hard it is to stay clean until you become an addict. With that being said, please tell me how you know that Jeff is using again?
@@Kevmaster2000 DONT CARE. ONCE A DRUG ADDICT ALWAYS A DRUG ADDICT
Dom already creating his own legacy. From being the first and prob only father son tag team champions. To two time NXT North American Champion. To fighting his dad TWICE at Mania. Sky is the limit.
Dom is good he's going to be great, but just imagine how he'd be if Eddie was still around to have trained him
He is really talented with his heel gimmick and even gets lots of praise from legendary wrestlers. He is really humble like his dad irl. I want him to win in wm
Also has the most sustained heel heat than any wrestler in years. I would push him to the top, you know how many people would downright hate it? 😂
Great job Chris. Rey is a living legend, and the fact that he's still going after ~30 years in the business is amazing
The thing with the Freddy Vs Jason movie is that the stunt double for Freddy Krueger is credited as Óscar Gutiérrez and when Freddy leaps out of Crystal Lake, his leap and posture is almost identical to how Rey used to pop up from the stage during his WWE entrance.
So I totally understand the confusion.
This is honestly one of my favorite CVV interviews. Rey is super entertaining.
Gotta love the way Rey color coordinates. Lookin’ sharp.
A really good interview with one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. I have nothing but respect for Rey Mysterio.
Honestly I have mad props for Rey for sticking it out when he was being taken advantage of in his early career, they used him so bad with the unmasking and just using him as a novelty despite him being a great wrestler and Lucha. They fumbled the bag so hard with Rey early in his career and it's good that at least wrestling fans saw his value and passion
The fact that he doesnt like to destroy mystery with the little kids is so awesome. Little things like that really show he cares about his fans.
Lol, in terms of getting recognized without the mask.. I'll never forget. I was working at a Jack in the Box near Six Flags Magic Mountain in Cali. I was a shift manager and heard my cashier taking orders and saw Rey. Instantly knew who he was by his voice and the brief clips I grew up watching in WCW. I go up to him and ask if he's Oscar Guiterrez. He said yes, and I made my drive thru line slow because I wasn't helping my workers and was too busy talking to Rey being a fanboy haha. We got a picture, and that's still one of my favorite pics to this day.
As a huge Rey Mysterio fan growing up, I just want to say thank you for this incredible hour of getting behind the mask that you rarely get to see. Maybe Reys done more interviews than I’ve seen, but you just find a way to get more out of these superstars and honestly anytime I see a new video from you I have to click immediately.
Props CVV, you’re the best
man this is awesome chris consistent back to back interviews that just continue to impress and keep people coming back love this premiere
It would have been amazing if this was 6 days earlier 😂
how so?
@@usernameADG because 6 days ago was 6/19
He missed a golden Easter egg there @@ExtremeGodWrestling
6/19 plus 6 days. The Wyatt Sick6 are involved 😁
You guys are so stupid
You can see he's really proud Dom was able to make heel turn worth it to be his own character and able to work with him as an opponent
Chris always asks the best questions! One of the best interviews with Rey
I remember meeting Rey Mysterio at O’Hare airport a few years ago. There were a lot of cancellations that day and I was working that day. I’m yelling my hotel’s name and asking people which hotel are they looking for. He was looking for a way to get to the rental car center, to get his rental car. And I recognized him by his tattoos and I fangirling like crazy! I drove him to the rental car center and gave him my charger so he can charge his phone to his destination and he offered to take a picture with me! He is truly a great man!
I swear Rey talking is like listening to a Tio talk, and hearing him talk about Dom is awesome still one of my favorites of all time
Man. I been watching these interviews for years now and somehow they just keep getting better. Good for you CVV! Keep it up.
Anyone who grew up with the early 2000's era of WWE loves Rey Mysterio, he was that one guy who when I'd watch with my Mum who didn't like wrestling at all, she'd be reacting and popping for his high flying offense.
Wow my favorite interview in a while. Rey is such a humble and genuine guy and tells stories so well. And CVV great steering the conversation as usual. Great stuff.
This must be one of the best interviews I've ever heard/watched. Period. Chris you are such a professional. Your ability to ask genuinely interesting questions, giving your guests the space to express themselves freely while also having those genuine fan moment's makes these a blast. Keep it up man!
What i love the most about Chris's shows was they don't feel like interviews between the host and the guest, feels like two friends hanging out and having a nice catch up. Chris really makes his guests feel relaxed and sits back by letting them speak but always asks fantastic questions. What an amazing host and a brilliant interview with Rey Mysterio who for my money is the greatest cruiserweight of all time
One of the best interviews, yet! More Rey episodes, please. Been following his career since his debut in WCW.
Me and my son have both gotten to meet Rey at events, and he is a legend! We are lucky to still watch this man perform!
Forever my favorite Rey Mysterio! Hearing him talk about his career and life man I just love him more. Thank you Chris for bringing this to us! I hope I get to meet Rey one day. He has inspired me for the majority of my life
Early gang! 🤟🏽 can’t wait to listen to yet another hall of famer! Love the guests Chris!!
Welcome!
Chris Van Vliet thank you so much for this interview. Rey Mysterio is by far my favorite wrestler of all time watching him in WWE made my childhood amazing Rey is just the coolest man
I've been looking forward to this the most of any of your interviews it's finally happening my favourite podcast host and my favourite wrestler of all time ❤
the word ICON, is used a lot sometimes in the Wrestling business but Rey, is the perfect example, i used to watch him in WCW, and i am very happy he's still performing at a very high rate after all these years!
Incredible interview!! Chris killin as usual!
Rey is the #1 lucha and best cruiserweight in WWE/WCW history imo 👌 🤷 been a fan of wrestling since i was 4 years old. Which was in the year 2000 and always loved watching Reys matches! Bro has so many insane memorable moments. Him and Jeff Hardy always amazed me.
I never realized how much I would love to see this go down. And never knew rey has been baby face his whole career if not most of it. Thank u CVV for having this interview with him. Perfect timing on what number interview/episode it is 😊😊
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT INTERVIEW! I grew up watching Rey from 1999 to current. When you two started saying "whose that Jumping out the Sky.." I had to finish the whole first 30 seconds of that theme!
I'm so glad Rey finally confirmed what I've been saying this whole time. Logan didn't save Rey, he caught him but was his own botch.
Rey Mysterio is my favorite wrestler, been my favorite growing up, and will continue to be my favorite wrestler. Thanks for this interview CVV.

Absolutely awesome interview Chris
The matches and things this man could and can do in the ring is unrivaled. He has more talent, in the ring, than he knows what to do with. Limitless respect to Rey Mysterio Jr. One of the rare guys that could legitimize title runs at that size. Elite performer.
man, Rey was my childhood hero growing up watching wwe. literally a real life spiderman. So thankful he's still around and performing at such a high level. Easily one of my favourite interviews CVV has done!
BOOYAKA !!!!!
CVV we love you and the work you do is very much appreciated and wanted . WE LOVE YOU CVV
Booyaka!! Master class interview again CVV Rey Was an awesome guest just flowing through the questions and conversation nicely
This channel has been on fire this year! Congrats and thanks 🙏!
Love these interviews, especially with Mark “Undertaker!” Deadman
“Mark Deadman” sounds like what Danhausen would call Taker 😂😂😂😂
Another great conversation Chris!
One of my favorite wrestlers ever. Much respect to this absolute legend that still gives us banger after banger, even after all these years.
Amazing interview! It's always inspiring to listen and watch Rey! Thank you!👑❤️
Rey is a personal hero of mine and my favorite wrestler ever. Thank you Chris for this interview! Love hearing his stories. Perfect pick for #619
23:10 I'm 6'4" and I remember watching Rey and thinking "I wish I was smaller so I could do stuff like that!". Rey is a class act and genuinely one of a kind, I'm really glad I got to watch him growing up!!!
I absolutely love Rey, all these years he’s never changed, and always, and I mean always been so cool and sooo down to earth
love rey. absolute living legend. goat. great interview...you can tell he's such a genuine good individual.
The fact he wants to come back shows how great he is.
Fantastic episode. Rey is one of my all time favourites. Thanks for this upload
This is the interview I have been waiting on Chris! My favorite superstar of all time!
I got into wrestling in August 2003, so the perfect time for the cruiserweight division on Smackdown at that time, and watching Rey on a weekly basis alongside the likes of Tajiri, Jamie Noble, Chavo, Eddie, etc, gave me a lifelong love of wrestling. The first time I saw a live event it was November 2005, the week after Eddie passed, and Rey was in the main event of that week's Monday Night Raw. That he could put on that kind of a show after that big of a loss gave me even more respect for him than I already had. Much love to one of the greatest legends in professional wrestling history, much credit to CVV for all the success and fantastic interviews as always, and thanks so much for reminding me of the guys who gave myself and so many others so many great childhood memories 🙏
man what a legend literally doesnt get anymore legendary than rey mysterio
Chris you're on top of your game brother. Loving the videos and your interview style, what an outstanding bloke you are. Kudos to you man from Australia !
Rey is one of the biggest legends in wrestling. So many wrestlers & fans got into wrestling thanks to him. I hope he'll win the WWE championship one more time before he retires. He deserves a proper run.
another mad interview love it thanks chris as always
He's so humble wow❤
I love this man one of my favorite wrestlers of all time
great interview, thank you both
What a great guy and great interview!
Rey will always be my childhood favourite. I was little and agile too. So when we wrestled as kids everyone else was like The Undertaker, Kane, Batista, Triple H, Edge... But I was the high flyer. 😅 Rey you made my childhood. I was always so excited to see you wrestle with your cool outfits and performing your outstanding moves.
Insane work ethic on all these interviews Chris. Keep doing great.
Chris you deffo delivered on this Bro we gotta have more Rey Mysterio Jr I've been looking forward to this for so long 🙏🏼
Love how Rey Rey put Chicanos on the map!
Love to the 619 from the 727 🔥
Latino Heeeeattt 🇲🇽x🇺🇸
Rey is so cool and down to earth. Met him several times in San Diego. He always had open invites to his parties
One of my first wrestling memories and in life overall that i can remember is seeing Rey Mysterio on Smackdown when i was 3 and being hooked on wrestling ever since
This man is a great man and a living legend, just watching this interview brings a big smile on my face !! Thank you Rey, that era with Rey, Eddie , Edge, Angle felt so special. It was so cool, but also fun and we could all feel how special these guys are.
Miss Eddie so bad, it'd be so fun to see him with Rey and Dom right now
Rey Mysterio is an absolute legend in the wrestling business. I have been watching Rey since the wcw days. I am actually very surprised that he has been able to wrestle for this long with his high flying style but I am very glad that I have had the pleasure to watch him wrestle for all these years.
Great interview Chris loved it
I watched wrestling as a kid in the 80s but stopped around 1990. When i began watching WCW when the monday night wars got so mainstream and i first saw Mysterio wrestle I was in awe anyone could do this and he soon became one of my top three wrestlers. There's one specific Nitro match with Billy Kidman i've never forgot. He got Kidman on top of the turnbuckle and did a bulldog on him from there and while this might not seem like an amazing move now, at the time it was the coolest move i'd ever seen. Circumstances made it so I couldnt watch wrestling anymore by the early 2000s and i didnt see him when he came in the WWE but when i heard of the success he had there i was so glad.
Thank you for your incredible interviews
Mr Rey is truly one of the greatest of all time and I'm grateful to get to hear this interview.
I love that Chris got to interview Rey. He is my all-time favorite wrestler. The fact that this is episode 619 is perfect!
Amazing interview! Rey is a legend!
Rey Mysterio is why i go back and wach a lot of wCW and inWWE was one of my wrestling, thank you rey for all you did.
always great comfortable interviews from cvv
Got so much for Rey. One of the best of all time.
Loved this interview.
Rey has always been one of my favorites. When i was a kid I watch that Halloween Havoc! It was crazy! Him and Juvi was THEE best luchas I ever seen.... still!
Great conversation! Rey is very engaging and humble.
My favorite of all time just so happens to be also be the greatest of all time. Two legends in this video, been looking forward to this one!
@chrisvanvliet your knowledge and love of wrestling make these interviews really enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work 😊
Much appreciated!
Really enjoyed watching this video. Much Blessings Rei and Chris Van Fleet!
Amazing interview. Chris is the man.
