During a recent conversation on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray offered a surprising opinion about the ongoing Rey Mysterio Dominik Mysterio comparison, placing Dominik above his legendary father. This endorsement thrilled Dominik, who has openly expressed his desire to surpass Rey in the wrestling world.
Dominik Mysterio, a member of Judgment Day and current Intercontinental Champion, has built a reputation as a ruthless heel. He does not shy away from criticizing his father Rey, dismissing him as a poor father figure and championing himself as the greatest Mysterio and Intercontinental Champion ever. At SummerSlam, Dominik retained his title by defeating AJ Styles, who ironically came to the ring dressed in a throwback look inspired by Eddie Guerrero’s 2005 SummerSlam gear. Dominik’s smart heel tactics secured him the victory, reinforcing his dominant position.
Insights from Bully Ray During Their In-Depth WWE Discussion
Bully Ray praised Rey Mysterio’s legendary luchador skills but emphasized that Dominik surpasses him as a sports entertainer.
“Watching your dad, working with your dad, knowing your dad, your dad is a great luchador, one of the greatest luchadors of all time, if not the greatest. But you blow your dad away when it comes to being an entertainer in this industry. I find you far more entertaining than your dad ever was and you can do all of the things that you did. You’re probably the greatest Mysterio sports entertainer of all time.”
This statement delighted Dominik, who responded with gratitude for the recognition from a respected veteran.
“I appreciate you. You’re one of the few who have seen the light. I’m just happy you get it.”
Bully Ray also clarified that his remarks were made earnestly and not as part of wrestling storylines, further validating Dominik’s confidence and enthusiasm.
Dominik’s Rising Star and What Bully Ray’s View Means for WWE Fans
Dominik Mysterio’s growing success, highlighted by his SummerSlam triumph and his bold public persona, is attracting attention not only from fans but from prominent figures like Bully Ray. With such high praise, Dominik’s path appears poised to break new ground and redefine the Mysterio legacy within WWE.
Bully Ray’s comments underscore a generational shift, focusing on the entertainment aspect in wrestling beyond technical prowess. For WWE fans, this shift may signal exciting new storylines and rivalries, especially as Dominik continues to carve his identity distinct from Rey’s iconic legacy.
