The eternal “Mount Rushmore” question is common in professional wrestling interviews, with performers frequently forced to name their four favorite titans of the industry. “Fight without contest” came up with a variation of the question that asks wrestlers to name which other athletes they would like to have alongside them in a bar fight, and Dominik Mysterio was the last to make his choice.
“I’m going to throw Eddie (Guerrero) in there,” Mysterio said. “The only reason is I know he was a bad guy. He was the nicest guy.”
Mysterio then shared a brief story from his childhood, in which he watched Guerrero effortlessly flip heavy crates filled with cables and other production equipment. The young wrestler remembers his mother trying to shield his vision from Guerrero’s angry outburst, caused by a mistake in timing.
“It was like (a) very Latino temperament,” Mysterio continued. “So I’m going to go with my man, Uncle Eddie. Number two – Bronson Reed.”
The Judgment Day singer called Reed one of his “boys” in the WWE locker room, sharing that they were both big fans of chicken tenders. Other artists Mysterio listed were Damian Priest and Jacob Fatu, as Mysterio connected with Fatu because of their shared California background. However, regarding Priest, Mysterio stated that he had not forgiven the wrestler for his transgressions against The Judgment Day and that he did not remember the past glory days of choosing his former ally.
“I don’t remember the good old days – I remember what he’s good for, and he’s a big dude who drives people away,” Mysterio said.
