One of the most respected styles of professional wrestling is the Lucha Libre wrestling style. One of the legendary Luchadors is WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. Earlier this year at WrestleMania XL, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion teamed up with Andrade to take on the team of former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar and ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio.
Recently, while speaking on the My Cultura and Sonoro and iHeartPodcasts, Santos Escobar shared an unforgettable moment during the match. He mentioned that at a high point in the match, Escobar got the opportunity to tell Rey Mysterio how much he loves and respects him. Escobar also thankes Mysterio.
“In the heat of the battle, there was a moment I will never forget. Rey and I were each standing on the top rope, at the end of the world, face-to-face, looking into each other’s eyes, I grabbed him by the ears and whispered, ‘I love you. Thank you so much.’ Bam. I snuck in a good shot [laughs]. Soon after, Rey ended up winning the match with the 619. Win or lose, it doesn’t matter. In that little moment, that’s the essence of lucha libre. Lucha libre is two wrestlers fighting to prove who is more skilled, who is stronger, who is more talented. It’s an incredible competition, combined with tremendous respect,” Santos Escobar said.
