Former WWE star Rey Mysterio spoke with Scott Fishman of the Channel Guide website recently to promote Triplemania XXII event on August 9th. Down below is an excerpt from the interview in which he talks about why he left WWE.
“I think that was the main focus regarding my departure from WWE is first off to have my own time,” Mysterio said. “I wanted my family time before anything else. Family to me comes first, especially now in this stage of my career. I knew that I wasn’t going to have a strong commitment to another company if I was going to sign with someone else.
“I wanted to do something on my own terms and call my own shots. That time came. I’m doing a couple of events for AAA and independent work. Not too much wresting, but signings and appearances. I think the second major factor in this is I have been on the grind doing this for 25 years. So my body needed to rest without a doubt.”
