An Interview with Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio recently chatted with New York Newsday. Here are highlights from the interview:

After your knee surgery were you worried about hurting your knee when you returned to wrestling?
Yes. I think I am always afraid to get hurt. This knee surgery that I had is just one. I will show you my scar [Rey showed us his leg and knee scars from all the surgeries.] Every time I step into the ring I pray that I don't get hurt; for myself and for my opponents.

I just want to go out there and perform and make the audience feel good. When they walk out of the building and have them say, "Wow, that was really good. Rey Mysterio really tore it up tonight."

Besides yourself, who is your favorite wrestler?
Growing up I had many. My uncle. I am a second-generation wrestler, you have Rey Mysterio Sr. He has always been an inspiration to me. I love watching WWE. I used to love watching Shawn Michaels. Shawn Michaels has always been one of my favorites.
