WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio discussed various topics with La Platica, including how his opportunity for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 22 and his reign were made possible by the late great Eddie Guerrero.
Mysterio said, “I really, to this day, think that if Eddie Guerrero, [who] left us in 2005, and right after he passed, is when I was given the opportunity to wrestle at the Royal Rumble, became the winner of the Royal Rumble and went on to win the world title at WrestleMania. I feel like a lot of that, or a majority of that, was because the connection that Eddie and I had, that the fans would see Eddie through me in a way. So that was very special for me. I think that took me to another level. Definitely.”
