Santos Escobar: ‘Rey Only Thinks About Rey, Rey Only Has Time for Rey’
Santos Escobar may not like Dominik Mysterio, but he is still in agreement with his opinion on Rey Mysterio.
Santos Escobar explains why he agrees with Dominik Mysterio about his father.
On the November 10th edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Santos Escobar turned heel and brutally attacked Rey Mysterio, trapping his leg in the ring steps during the assault. In the weeks following, Escobar has noted that he agrees with Rey’s son Dominik’s opinions on the legendary luchador.
Since taking Mysterio out of action with the attack, Santos has been involved in a rivalry with the remaining members of the LWO and defeated Dragon Lee at Survivor Series last weekend.
Recently, Santos appeared on WWE’s The Bump and was asked if he truly agreed with the younger Mysterio’s thoughts on his father. Santos noted that while he doesn’t like or respect Dominik, he does agree that Rey has a “pattern”.
“Yeah, I mean, to be perfectly honest, I don’t like the guy, I don’t respect the guy. But I do see a pattern there. I mean, let’s think about it. Dominik was the future of lucha libre. Then he wasn’t. Then I was the future of lucha libre. Then I wasn’t. Now, Dragon Lee’s the future of lucha libre. I wonder how that’s gonna end up. But like I said before, down to a tee, everything Dominik said, he was right. Rey only thinks about Rey. Rey only has time for Rey. Like I said before, I deserved to be the United States Champion, and who ended up becoming the champion? It was my desire to reform the LWO, and when we did it, who ended up taking over, bringing in new members, just doing whatever he wanted, and stealing the show? You know who.”
Back on November 17th, WWE announced that Mysterio would be out of action for ‘several months’. You can read more here.
