Rey Mysterio called into Busted Open Radio this week to remember Eddie Guerrero on the 10th anniversary of his passing. Mysterio said that he was not ready for his first WWE title run, but was thrust into that role after Eddie's tragic death.
“No, especially not under those circumstances. I guess my career was heading in a different direction. We had just finished our feud with my son, Dominic, and the great story that Eddie put together and how much passion he threw behind that, that character that he was. He was ready to move on with Batista and I really don’t know where I was going, but that changed direction completely for, I believe, for everyone.
So I really wasn’t ready at the time, but of course you’ve got to make the best out of it. This was a big opportunity for me and the people knew. The people knew that it was going down for Eddie. I was put on the spot, but I was there representing Eddie.”
