“I Ran Out of Money” – Rey Mysterio Details How His Wife Gave Up on Her Dreams to Save the Luchador From Poverty

A lot of top wrestlers have struggled with issues of poverty in the past. Rey Mysterio also shared his story on his past problems. In his Hall of Fame speech, Mysterio was utterly emotional. The masked legend was struck with nostalgia as he stepped on the reputed stage set-up in his honor. Mysterio recalled the bitter-sweet moments of his life that led up to this occasion. Most of those moments were from his struggling days and Mysterio’s future wife was there for him, strong as a boulder.

Rey Mysterio’s wife leaves her career behind

The masked wrestler was merely 17 years old when he left his home to pursue wrestling as a full-time career. During his Hall of Fame speech, Mysterio talked about how once he had no other option but to stay in an alien town. The aspiring wrestler then had to sleep in a gym. What distressed him, even more, was the fact that he did not have any family with him.

Following every distressing fact, he wanted to leave wrestling behind because he did not have any money for himself. ” I ran out of money. I just wanna go home,” said the wrestler while being on call with his lover this one time.

During the recollection of these events, he cried when he remembered his wife’s ultimate sacrifice. “What Angie did was, she was studying medicine at the time and she literally put her medical career aside, got a job, and would send me money,” recalled Mysterio on how Angie eased his struggles, leaving her career aside.
