"He's called the human highlight reel of professional wrestling.
His high-flying acrobatics have thrilled fans on every continent.
He's been crowned champion of the world's greatest wrestling
promotions, from Mexico to the U.S. But he's never revealed the
inside story of who he is."
"Until now. "
"Wrestling fans know him as Rey Mysterio, an American luchador of
unparalleled talent, the ultimate proof that good things come in
small packages. Now for the first time, Rey adds the personal side
to the story: "
"- How he had to fight to get a tryout in the ring"
"- Who he was before Rey Misterio Jr.--and even before Colibri,
usually noted as his first identity"
"- What it was like to wrestle in Mexico--from the bullrings to the
riots"
"- How he fought plans for his unmasking in WCW--and why he wishes
he hadn't succeeded"
"- The inside story of the 619, the West Coast Pop, and his other
signature moves"
"- The impact of Eddie Guerrero on his career in WWE"
"- The personal struggle that cost him ring time in 2008, but
ultimately made him a stronger man"
"- His real passion in life as husband and father "
"In Rey Mysterio: Behind the Mask, Rey talks candidly about his
twenty-plus-year career, from the days of sneaking into bars as a
fourteen-year-old to his most recent showdowns in WWE. He speaks of
the emotional moments in the ring with his uncle Rey Misterio, and
the dark days when he went under the knife to repair his damaged
knee. Along the way, Mysterio introduces American audiences to the
mysteries of lucha libre, the high-flying, anything-goes Mexican
wrestling style that he has done so much to popularize in the U.S.
He also talks about the debts he owes to wrestlers such as Konnan,
known as the Mexican Hulk Hogan, and dishes some behind- the-scenes
dirt on the collapse of WCW at the height of the Monday Night Wars.
Mysterio talks tenderly--but realistically--of his friend Eddie
Guerrero, providing a well-rounded picture of one of the most
beloved wrestling figures of recent history. He also details his
march toward the Heavyweight Championship, and his mastery of the
WWE Triple Crown--a feat that placed him in an elite group for all
time. "
"Behind the Mask is the intimate portrait of one of wrestling's
all-time greats, a story wrestling fans of all ages won't want to
miss."
