Santos Escobar: Dominik Mysterio Has Something That Not A Lot Of People Do, Rey Mysterio's Genetics

Santos Escobar comments on the progression of Dominik Mysterio.

Dominik Mysterio is currently regarded, by many fans, as one of the most entertaining performers in all of pro wrestling. Mysterio, alongside The Judgment Day, always seem to garner some of the loudest reactions on episodes of Raw, SmackDown, and even at Premium Live Events.

Even though Santos Escobar is considered to be a big rival of the Judgment Day, he does think that Dominik Mysterio has a lot of potential. In a recent interview with the Getting Over podcast, Escobar talked at length about about Dominik and how he will continue to learn.

“A lot of potential. I’ve been working with him for two months now, almost three months, singles matches here and there. I think the best way for a fighter to evolve is fighting and Dom is doing that, he’s fighting, he’s getting better. Will he get to the same position where his dad is? I don’t know, that depends entirely on him. He was thrown at this [at the start of his career], he wasn’t ready. But here’s the thing, he’s got something that not many people have and that’s the Rey Mysterio genetics. He’s got the charisma inside him. Now, we hate him, we really hate him. I can’t stress that enough. That means he’s doing something right, that’s when you realize he’s learning. The more he keeps doing this, the more he will learn and the more he will reach that point where everyone will unanimously say that he’s ready.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Escobar talked about wanting WWE to bring a PLE to Mexico. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
