– La Voz recently interviewed former WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio who opened up on the tragic passing of El Hijo del Perro Aguayo last March. Aguayo died after a fatal series of blows during a match in Mexico, which Mysterio was also working in. Below are some highlights.

Mysterio on Aguayo’s pssing: “To know that he’s not around. It hits you. I’m Catholic and I believe God has given me the strength to continue and do what it is I can do in this world. My family, my wife and my two kids. I live for them.”

Mysterio on how the experience has scarred him for life: “I’m never going to be able to put that aside and continue with my life. I’m going to live with that for the rest of my life. Some days are good days, some days are a bit depressing.”

Mysterio on how people will make remarks that Aguayo’s death was his fault: “You get that stupid remark or comment that Rey killed someone. Right away on social media there’s a fan that steps in and they defend me. I thank the fans for defending me.”
