In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Dominik Mysterio was asked if there was a match or program that made him feel like he earned his place in WWE.
The former WWE Tag Team Champion responded with a recollection of appearing across RAW, SmackDown, and NXT between dark matches, television, and live events:
So I was doing basically the old-school schedule, which was five days a week, leave Thursday, TV Friday, on the road Saturday [and] Sunday, TV Monday on Raw, TV Tuesday for NXT, and then I’m home Wednesday.
So I think that got a lot of respect from the boys for me. I mean, I assume so, because they would see me everywhere, and they’d just look at me and be like, ‘Dude, do you not get a break?’ I’m like, ‘You know, I’m just here.’ Again, I could be wrong, they could all hate me. But I assume — because, like I said, a lot of the boys would come up to me and be like, ‘You got that old-school schedule.’
The son of WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio won the NXT North American Championship on two occasions during his appearances for the brand last year, holding the title for a combined 139 days as recognized by the company.
Dominik was part of a recent media tour in Las Vegas promoting WrestleMania 41 tickets going on sale this week.
