Rey Mysterio Recalls Struggling With His Mask At WrestleMania 21, Says He’d Freak Out If It Happened To Him Today
Rey Mysterio recalls his worst experience with a mask.
In 2005, Mysterio faced off with Eddie Guerrero at WrestleMania 21. The match opened the main card.
As it turns out, Mysterio had a lot of trouble during the match, as he was constantly fixing his mask while trying to wrestle.
“WrestleMania 21, which was the first WrestleMania Goes Hollywood. Eddie and I opened up that show. The mask was cool, the outfit was cool. We did a version of my tattoos at the time, it was a chest piece and had Mexican across the stomach and on the back he did the design of my spine tattoo. The mask was made of like a latex material, this is the first time he had did something like that. It kept unbuttoning from the bottom and you see throughout the whole match, I’m fixing it and strapping it back on. It was a pain. I think about that happening to me now, at my age, I’d freak out. I don’t know how I handled it, but back then, even with Eddie, you feel pressure but at the same time you know you have to put on your wrestling boots. I was trying to lace up my boots and the mask at the same time while not letting Eddie down. For some reason, god is always on our side and he made it work perfectly well that night. That one was one of the masks that I love, I just struggled throughout that whole match trying to keep it on.” Rey told Cody Rhodes on the latest episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About.
