Rey Mysterio Retirement Plans

During an interview with the Mexican newspaper Esto, Rey Mysterio said that he was two to three years away from retirement. However, he made sure to note that his future in the industry hinges on the reconstructive knee surgery he is getting in April — providing he lasts that long.

When asked who will be his replacement as the top Mexican star in WWE when he leaves, he mentioned Dos Caras, Jr. (Alberto Banderas ring name), Super Nova (the son of El Texano) and Incognito; all of whom are in WWE's developmental system. However, he said he doesn't see any of them as his replacement "because WWE doesn't work that way."

Mysterio also said that his match at the Royal Rumble would be a three-way bout with Undertaker and Batista — which has since been changed.

if WWE's tag team division wasn't so poor, would've been interesting as they could have had Super Nova and Dos Caras become a tag team with Mysterio as manager which i think wouldn't have been half bad

If all this talk about knee surgery is true then i'm not supprised he is planning to retire.

BTW how old is Rey Mysterio anyway?

35

Thanks feяgie22 for the answer and the link (never saw that) and whilst I feel 35 is still young this is a business where people die at an early age so it's best to becareful and know to stop pushing yourself.

Great wrestler and great draw, but i personally find him overrated and often skip his promos as they bore me to death! however he is a great technician in the ring, that is undoubted
