Dominik Mysterio got his WWE career started in 2003 when he was shown on camera in the audience and then in the ring after his dad, Rey Mysterio, won the WWE Cruiserweight Title.
Two years later, Dominik was in a prominent storyline with Rey and Eddie Guerrero, who claimed to be Dominik's "Papi."
Speaking on the Intoxicados Podcast, Dominik recalled how much he was paid for one appearance at the time.
"I got paid, I'll tell you exactly how much I got paid. I got paid five grand. Five grand. That was just for one of the events. My parents told me, normally they wouldn't tell me, they would just tell me they put it to the side. They told me about this because I was asking, 'How much did I get paid for this?' I knew something was coming. They said, 'You got paid five grand.' 'Cool, let's go to Toys R Us.' I go to Toys R Us. I get myself a bike and, I've always been into universal monsters, so they had these Frankenstein heads. 'Let me get a couple of those.' It totaled out to maybe $400, maybe $300, if that. As soon as we got home, I'm like, 'Can we go to Target?' My mom goes, 'That's it. That's all your money.' It probably all went to my sister's college fund," said Dominik.
This isn't the first time Dominik has questioned where the money from his early appearances has gone.
Elsewhere during the interview, Dominik revealed he plans on visiting Eddie Guerrero's grave with the WWE Intercontinental Championship. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
