Things were not always like this at the start. Back in 2022, both father and son worked as a tag team and even won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. Thus making them the first father-son duo to secure the tag titles in the WWE. But even at that time, Dominik Mysterio never wore a mask. He recently revealed the reason why he avoided his family tradition. On his recent appearance in the WWE digital exclusive: “WWE Tattooed”, he was asked if he would ever get a tattoo on his face.

To which he replied, “That’s gonna be a no-go. I’m too pretty, man. You know, there’s some things you gotta stay away from, and I say this proudly, I’m too good-looking to tattoo anything on my face, that’s why I don’t wear a mask, you know my dad wears a mask, he should get face tattoos, cause he’s probably ugly”.

Implying that his father is using a mask to cover his hideous face. But talking about the mask, Rey Mysterio would love to have a match with his son putting something that ‘Dirty’ Dom cherishes on the line.

I still vividly remember the time when WWE VHS's used to be played on cable movie channels every Sunday(early 90s in India). And that's where my love for the WWE began. My love and passion for pro wrestling only grew over the years in the form of a mini collection of cards, stickers, tees, action figures and even a WWE Championship belt signed by the 'Big Red Machine' Kane himself (talk about getting lucky).
