Rey Mysterio has revealed the real reason why WWE fans are so against Dominik Mysterio, even in the present day!
Remaining one of the most hated wrestlers in the entire roster each week, Mysterio receives deafening boos from the fans and often struggles to finish his promo as a result. Although the booing started when “Dirty” Dom turned on his Hall of Fame father and was only hated more when he betrayed Rhea Ripley, Rey Mysterio believes there is another reason why the boos just won’t stop.
Speaking with Peter Rosenberg for Rosenberg Wrestling, Mysterio blames his son’s moustache as the source of the nuclear heat:
“I think it was definitely a triggering point at a certain part of his career or his turn but then after that I think now it’s mainly based on the Mustache. I think the Mustache is what really is what the fans hate.
I mean I hate it. I don’t know about you. [It’s] gotta be the Mustache. Not so much the hatred that he has on his father, it’s the Mustache, yeah.”
Could Rey Mysterio And Dominik Reconcile?
Despite the fact that the father and son have been at odds over the past few years, they are family. Later in the interview, Mysterio was asked if there was an opportunity for him and Dom to settle their differences:
“That’s something that as a father they always would love to have with their kids. To be able to reconnect. End off how you started, on the good side. So I don’t know if that’s going to happen over the years.
People change – sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. Hopefully one day Dom can see the bright side of being on the Mysterio side and just being family overall. But I think that’s going to be very hard.”
