The WWE Hall of Fame, Rey Mysterio, recently reflected on a special event that changed his career forever in the podcast «No-Contest Wrestling»referring to the 1994 Worlds Collide, which He gave his first great exposure to American fans to wrestling, And that it was precisely the first time that the WCW executives saw him fight live, without thinking how important that night ended for his career.
«It was then that the WCW, I think, saw my work live for the first time. I think Eric Bischoff was there that night, and that was where I really got my first exhibition in the United States. He made independent scenes, you know, he struggled in Los Angeles, but for something as great as Worlds Collide, and coming from an organization created in Mexico like AAA, it was a surreal moment. »
«Again, you do not consider that this could be your opportunity to jump to a larger platform, to a larger stage. Simply leave and give everything, without thinking about what would happen after.»
Rey Mysterio was separated from Wrestlemania 41 after confirming an injury, and had to be replaced by Rey Fénix, who ended up fighting the great American.
