Rey's lying. He didn't go to the hospital. He went to a local medical facility.

I hate that this reference is hilarious 😂

You’re killing it with these interviews bro. Keep up the good work

[@CVVCLIPS]

Thanks PS! 🍕

There were so many moments when Rey basically got killed by all these giants. Remember Great Khali.

[@TheBigKup]

Can’t ever forget what Khali did scarred me for life as a child

[@Vito_Caligiuri]

@@TheBigKupI remember that. My young, somewhat innocent self sat there in front of the tv with my jaw dropped to the floor.

[@boombapdoom493]

Oh yea the blood gushing out of his mouth

[@vsnrygaming8954]

I legit thought he might be dead when I saw Nash throw him head fist into the production truck in 1996

[@VazzVegas]

Rey: Doesn't remember most of the match. Also Rey: "Good times!".

[@timmartin2417]

Laughed right there

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@VazzVegas Rey remembers the match. He just didn't remember the Chokeslam because, as he said, his memory of the stretcher spot was stronger. Also, as many matches as he's had and as old as he is, he's bound to forget details here and there. I would say, though, given his reactions in this video, that he never really went back to watch the match to see it from the television camera's perspective. I'm guessing he doesn't really go back to watch his televised matches.

[@vleaky3430]

Let's not act like that match was a year ago. Time flies.

[@shutup2751]

i like to think Rey was wearing his mask when he got married 😂

[@insaniam_convertunt_scientiam]

He didn’t marry the mask?

[@DemonDriver31]

​@@insaniam_convertunt_scientiam Okay he married the costume.

[@NickRHT]

I'm actually very surprised he kept his mask on throughout his whole wwe tenure ,especially since the wcw unmasking a s people knowing g how he looks

[@Veljko76]

Sorry babe mask stays

[@NotQuiteUseful]

@@NickRHT All about the merchandise. I'd be surprised if Rey didn't make more from his mask sales than the rest of his contract.

[@pepito2847]

It is pretty awesome how long the relationship between Rey and Show is From the 90s in WCW to the 21st Century in WWE

[@jacobcrounk3019]

Every time i hear these wrestlers say o, i don't remember that It reminds me how dangerous pro wrestling can be

[@sharker102s]

me too and glad to see another pro wrestling fan

[@hardcoreking52]

It's why I get annoyed when I hear people say it's fake. It's scripted, but the bumps aren't fake and it takes a toll on the body.

[@kenshiman90]

reys reaction is incredible

[@deadwafflez9685]

I got to see Rey at a house show back in April. He pulled double duty. He is a legend.

[@sumerrana6805]

that must have been some night he is indeed a legend

[@heretic600]

I remember when I saw him thinking he was a lot smaller then on tv, he's about top rope height

[@RichardGarcia93]

Rey has Stockholm syndrome for Big Show after being shown and told how violent the slam was and still calling Show a big teddy bear lols.

[@pikppa]

He is referring to Big Show on real life

[@mopsandmuscles7855]

Swinging Rey against the post had Jason Voorhees vibes

[@GodlessCombo]

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

@@ryantiller5624 It wasn't a guy, it was a woman who wouldn't stop complaining. The franchise had reached the point where the writers finally understood that we wanted to cheer for Jason, so part 6 forward largely featured purposely unlikable victims.

I've never seen that clip until just now I youtubed it...that shit looked legitimately like a ragdoll...like there wasn't a real human strapped to that board...that was incredible he wasn't hurt worse Holy shit 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@kennynakawaki]

Big Show the biggest wrestler Rey Mysterio the smallest wrestler Great synergy they had!

[@Atrillo-ki9ve]

Rey Mysterio is taller than Hornswoggle, Zelina Vega, Liv Morgan, Jordynne Grace, and others.

[@Eye_Of_Odin978]

​@@Atrillo-ki9ve I mean, yeah. But he was seen as the smallest guy who still regularly got into matches with heavyweights so Rey definitely had his own niche.

[@FirestormXIII]

3:05 when you get to watch your own death on live TV 🤣🤣🤣

[@Dazzleteats]

Rey is amazing. What an interview.

[@JettRadio]

Loving the videos man. You always make it feel like a fan interviewing our favorites

[@MaceyPrice007]

That chokeslam was rough and I watched it as a teenager now as an adult. Two legends Rey and big show

[@jordanjoseph837]

I heard that after that spot big show cried profusely

[@mical2great]

Not only did he hit him to the turnbuckle. He dropped him like 6 ft in the air on his face while his arms were constricted😂. Im honestly surprised he doesnt have permanent scars from that

[@alanguages]

Probably accumulative head injuries, that could eventually lead to CTE. Hoping Rey never gets it.

[@hunterjenkins576]

Rey immediately switching up and giving show a wink is so fucking good

[@samttolainen]

Rey still selling to the nurses in backstage so he can get painkillers, bruh

[@MichaeldeFilippi]

sad

[@seanj6940]

That’s honestly kinda scary that he doesn’t Remember the choke slam..

[@xUSMC1775x]

Y'all forgot him and RVD were a tag team for a bit

[@dustindaily]

Rey is my favorite wrestler of all time loved him as kid and still do!

[@arvurebantra7639]

I was at that show, and as soon as that spot happened, I knew it had gone a bit wrong. I could hear the thud of Rey hitting the floor. Even from up in the high seats, we could tell he hit face first. I'm just glad he didn't get too seriously hurt.

[@themr_wilson]

3:50 "You ever have a giant swing you like a bat into a metal pole for weed?!"

Jesus Christ! Rey couldn't breathe after that. That's the first time that I've seen someone legitimately injured in WWE.

[@kellenbarnett2814]

Don’t hate me for this… but I wish he discussed about how one of his opponents died by the 619 even though Ik it was completely unintentional but I’d like to hear more on that tbh

[@streetguru9350]

Woulda been safer for him to pick up the stretcher and hold it sideways, like chest to chest and run it into something, can execute a "safe" drop after.

[@SamsarasArt]

That was one of the most uncomfortable spots. Rey had no way of protecting himself at all when he landed head first.

[@koredragon2833]

Love it 😂😂😂😂. Rey: she gone? Big Show: yeah? Rey: I'm good lol

[@kevbotchill]

9ft choke slam… Rey- those were good times!

[@mrcool1519]

Lol all the guys from my childhood were drug addicts.

[@knightshousegames]

Imagine what it was like when the kids who grew up in the 80s found out Hulk Hogan didn't get that strong because of vitamins and prayers As bad as it was in the early 2000s, it was even worse in the 80s and 90s Thankfully, the newer generations learned. They aren't squeaky clean, but you have a generation of guys like CM Punk and Danielson who are known straight edges.

[@mrcool1519]

@@knightshousegames It was better back then. These new guys are trash.

[@knightshousegames]

@@mrcool1519 Not really, thats just rose tinted glasses. Like theres a reason almost all those guys from the 80s are dead, and even a lot of the attitude era guys are in pretty bad shape nowadays. The quality of the top guys now is just as good as it was back then. Like if you think back to the midcard of the attitude era or the Hogan era, they were mostly pretty terrible. Those big eras were so memorable because they had memorable main eventers. Ruthless Aggression era had some better midcard acts, but nobody remembers the worst stuff like Kenzo Suzuki or Renee Dupree or all the terrible women's matches. Right now is probably one of the best eras in wrestling history, AEW shaking up the WWE monopoly and Vince finally getting kicked to the curb has made for some of the best things to happen in wrestling since the Ruthless Aggression era.

[@mrcool1519]

@@knightshousegames Nice try, smark rhetoric doesn't work on me. Wrestling has been dead ever since the industry started pandering to smarks. All those old timers who are supposedly in bad shape (umm pretty sure old people in general are in bad shape... because they're you know old...) because they gave everything they had and more to entertain people...these new guys can't even be asked to hit the gym or simply stay off social media...this is by far the worst timeline in wrestling history... AEW is a joke, WWE has been a joke for ages now. All the drugs and stuff was just part of the sacrifice needed for awesome wrestling, this is too much for smark brain to handle.
