Lucha Libre and pro wrestling legend Rey Mysterio spoke with the New York Post on a variety of topics such as the moment he was pulled aside by WWE Chief Content Officer and Head of Creative Triple H and was told that he was going into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Rey Mysterio said:
“I was pulled aside by Triple H and he mentioned to me, ‘Rey, we would love to induct you into the Hall of Fame. It was very shocking to me. It was like, ‘Wow.’ I remember the first words that came out of my mouth were just like, ‘I’m not ready to retire.’ He’s like, ‘No, it’s not like that.’”
Rey Mysterio also spoke about how a WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony happens when that WWE Star is retiring or close to retiring and how neither of those are in his future, but he does hope that he'll retire by the age of 50.
Rey Mysterio said:
“I’m still having a hard time digesting it because Hall of Fames are supposed to happen when you retire, when you’re getting close to retirement. I don’t feel neither of them are close for me, but it’s a huge blessing. I think I do have a number and I want to keep it at that and my number is 50. I’m hoping at 50 I can go ahead and say it’s been an incredible ride and I think it’s time for me to step back now.”
