Dominik Mysterio opened up on the feud between his father and Eddie Guerrero

Despite being great friends outside the ring, the feud between Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero is considered one of the greatest in the history of the Stamford-based company. The two ended up fighting for the custody of Dominik Mysterio in a ladder match at SummerSlam 2005.

In an interview with Chente Ydrach, Dominik Mysterio opened up about his father's feud with the late WWE legend. While recalling those days, Dom Dom stayed in character and concluded by taking shots at his father.

"Seeing it now as an adult, it’s incredible to be in that position as a child. I was told that I was gonna get paid, I did not have to go to school or do homework during the feud, which was the best for me so I was ready. I told my dad that I was ready and to just let me know when, but it did scare me a bit because I was very shy and did not like to be in front of cameras & crowd. It was because of Eddie Guerrero, MY REAL FATHER EDDIE GUERRERO, that I am where I am and he planted the seeds to be a wrestler," Dominik Mysterio said.

At the upcoming premium live event Survivor Series, Dirty Dom is set to compete in a WarGames match alongside his Judgment Day teammates and JD McDonagh to take on Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn.
