“Few Still Try” – Fans React in Appreciation as Former WCW Star Shows Respect to Rey and Dominik Mysterio for Staying True to Their Storyline Outside WWE

WWE fans always love a good storyline. The creative team behind the company deserves respect for their work with the Dominik and Rey Mysterio storyline. Over the years, fans saw Dom turn from a young boy who idolized his father, to an annoying adversary. However, the legendary luchador is ready to take on his blood and kin, at WrestleMania 39, after months of putting off his challenge.

Moreover, the father and son have remained true to their in-ring characters even outside WWE to add more weight to their story and maintain kayfabe.

Rey Mysterio refuses to break character until the storyline culminates

In a recent episode of the K100 podcast, former professional wrestler Konnan pointed out the importance of keeping kayfabe alive, even when the cameras are off. The 59-year-old commended Rey Mysterio’s commitment to keeping away from his son, Dominik Mysterio, even outside the ring.

Konnan said, “I was talking to Rey Mysterio the other day, and he was driving alone. I go, ‘Why aren’t you driving with Dom?’ He goes, ‘Cause we’re kayfabing people.’ I go, ‘That’s excellent.’”

Moreover, Dominik Mysterio’s godfather observed that many wrestlers don’t give much importance to kayfabe these days as they constantly break character and shake hands or hug their on-screen foe.

Even fans noticed Rey Mysterio’s commitment to his craft, to drive separately without his son.
