About this listen

 🌟 He’s more than just a wrestler — he’s a symbol. In this powerful tribute episode, we explore the incredible life and career of Rey Mysterio, the masked marvel who defied the odds, broke size barriers, and became a global icon of lucha libre and heart-over-hype wrestling. 🇲🇽🕊️ From his early days in Tijuana to the bright lights of WCW, WWE, and beyond, Rey’s journey is filled with triumph, tragedy, reinvention, and resilience. 🎙️ We cover:
  • His lucha libre roots and how his uncle, Rey Mysterio Sr., passed down the mask
  • Breaking through in ECW and WCW, revolutionizing cruiserweight wrestling
  • The emotional highs of title wins — and devastating lows, including the in-ring tragedy of Perro Aguayo Jr.
  • The meaning of the mask in Mexican culture, and why Rey never removes it
  • His modern resurgence, mentorship of Dominik Mysterio, and his place among wrestling’s true legends
💥 This episode is part biography, part cultural deep-dive — a story of speed, soul, and the spirit of lucha libre. Whether you’ve followed him since the ’90s or are just learning his story, you’ll walk away with new respect for the man beneath the mask.
