WWE veteran Rey Mysterio draws parallel connections between his current friendship with Dragon Lee and his late, storied bond with Eddie Guerrero.
Mysterio continues to honor Guerrero whenever he can, and he’s begun to notice similarities in his friendship with Dragon Lee to what he once shared with Guerrero. The veteran spoke about the dynamic during an interview on “What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon,” as transcribed by Wrestling Inc.
Mysterio spends considerable time traveling with Dragon Lee on the road. The younger competitor frequently asks for guidance during these long drives.
“I spend a lot of time driving with Dragon Lee, and he likes to pick my brain here and there, and I see him — when I talk to him — very similar to the relationship that I had with Eddie,” Mysterio told “What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon,” according to Wrestling Inc.
“Eddie would give me words of wisdom, speak about God, and just make me feel real when I was present with him. And with Dragon, it’s like I found this connection with him that’s very special,” Mysterio said, as transcribed by Wrestling Inc.
Despite the deep personal connection, Mysterio maintains that their dynamic remains strictly rooted in a mentor and protégé structure. He provides the direction while Dragon Lee absorbs the lessons.
Conversations between the two athletes extend far beyond the squared circle into their personal lives. Both men balance demanding professional schedules with being married fathers.
“I see him very much how I was, or how I am — attached to my wife, attached to my kids,” Mysterio said on “What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon,” h/t Wrestling Inc.
Mysterio pointed out that Dragon Lee shares a similar domestic support system that mirrors his own marriage to Angie. He credited his wife for grounding him throughout his career.
“Angie has always been very grounded and understanding that I love this sport, and she’s backed me up from day one, and I see a lot of that within Dragon, I know his wife is very — oh, my gosh — she has the patience of the whole world!” Mysterio said, as reported by Wrestling Inc.
