Dominik Mysterio has shown promising talent in WWE, suggesting a strong future in the wrestling world. However, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently expressed skepticism that Dominik will surpass his father, Rey Mysterio, while still acknowledging Dominik’s impressive abilities and unique style.
How Booker T Views Dominik’s Approach to Wrestling
In a recent interview with Esports Insider, Booker T praised Dominik for his dedication to his wrestling persona. Rather than following in the traditional high-flying luchador style made famous by his father, Dominik has developed a distinct wrestling identity. Booker highlighted this difference as a strength rather than a drawback.
“Oh man, Dominik, he lives the character,”
Booker T said.
“He’s really bought in, and that’s why he’s so popular. He’s not a luchador; he doesn’t go out and do a whole lot of flying. He is not the guy that’s gonna be doing lots of jumping around. He’s just a wrestler! But he is also a really good entertainer. He’s figured out what the business truly is, and of course, he had a great mentor, a few of them, he really did.”
Comparing Dominik Mysterio to His Father Rey
When asked whether Dominik might eventually eclipse his father’s legendary career, Booker T clearly stated his doubts but clarified that surpassing Rey should not be Dominik’s goal. He sees the two wrestlers as fundamentally different, each excelling in their own right.
“No, I don’t. And I don’t think that should be the mission for Dominik,”
Booker T noted.
“He’s such a great talent, and what he does, I don’t think Rey could do what he does. So it’s such a huge difference between the both of them. But I really think Dominik is gonna go so far. I don’t think the comparison will be needed.”
The Future Outlook for Dominik Mysterio’s Wrestling Career
Dominik Mysterio’s career trajectory in WWE appears promising, with a style and entertainment approach that distinguishes him from his predecessors. Booker T’s observations underscore Dominik’s potential to carve out his own legacy rather than live in the shadow of his father. Fans and analysts alike will watch closely to see how his career unfolds in the coming years, focusing on his unique contributions to the wrestling industry.
