Rey Mysterio, along with fellow WWE commentators JBL and Corey Graves, expressed their support for legendary lucha libre wrestler Konnan during the recent broadcast of the AAA Rey de Reyes event. This show of camaraderie follows reports of Konnan’s serious health issues, including a recent leg amputation. The commentators urged fans to keep Konnan in their thoughts as he remains in a fragile state at a hospital in San Diego.
While the commentators did not delve into the specific circumstances surrounding Konnan’s health crisis, their heartfelt messages highlighted the respect and admiration the wrestling community holds for him. Konnan, known for his influential role in both lucha libre and American wrestling, is facing significant challenges.
In a related discussion, Rey Mysterio shared his thoughts on which of his matches he believes should be inducted into WWE’s Hall of Fame as part of the Immortal Moment award. This award, introduced last year, recognizes iconic matchups, with the inaugural recipient being the legendary encounter between Bret Hart and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13.
Mysterio identified his match against Eddie Guerrero at WrestleMania 21 as his top choice for this honor. He described the matchup as a significant moment in both his career and the history of wrestling. “I’m a big fan of Eddie and I. WrestleMania 21. WrestleMania Goes Hollywood,” Mysterio noted. He also mentioned his first WWE pay-per-view bout, a match against Kurt Angle at SummerSlam, as another significant moment deserving recognition.
In addition to discussing his Hall of Fame aspirations, Mysterio commented on the recent storyline involving his son, Dominik Mysterio, and the faction known as the Judgment Day. This group includes wrestlers Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley. Mysterio expressed concern over their treatment of Balor, stating, “It’s a little shaky, man! I mean, I warned Finn, I warned Priest, like I warned Rhea that Dom is not the cat that they think he is. It seems like they are finding out on their own.”
As for his personal health, Mysterio addressed his recovery from an injury sustained in late January. He revealed that he fractured ribs on both sides during an incident on January 27, just before the Royal Rumble event. Mysterio confirmed that he is feeling much better now, stating, “Those take a little bit of time to heal, but on the way up.”
With the wrestling community rallying around Konnan, Mysterio’s reflections on his career and current storylines offer a glimpse into the vibrant world of professional wrestling, where camaraderie and dramatic narratives intertwine. The support for Konnan highlights the deep bonds forged within this unique community, while Mysterio’s insights remind fans of the rich history and ongoing evolution of wrestling entertainment.
