Alright, let’s talk about this whole Nick Mysterio thing. Or, well, I figure most people mean Dominik Mysterio, Rey’s kid. I remember first seeing him pop up alongside his dad.
First Impressions
Honestly, when he first started wrestling properly, teaming up with Rey, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. You always see wrestler kids coming in, and it’s a mixed bag, right? Some pressure there, following a legend like Rey Mysterio. He seemed like a decent kid, maybe a bit green, which is totally normal starting out.
Watching the Change
So, I kept half an eye on his progress. Watched him do the tag team stuff with his dad. It was fine, you know? Heartwarming story, father and son champs. But it didn’t exactly blow my socks off. He was just… Rey Mysterio’s son.
Then things got interesting. Real interesting.
- The Turn: That moment he turned heel, turning on his dad and Edge, joining The Judgment Day. Didn’t see that coming exactly like that.
- The Character Shift: And man, did he lean into it. Suddenly he wasn’t just Rey’s kid anymore. He became this annoying, whiny brat hiding behind Rhea Ripley and the rest of the group.
My Take on “Dirty Dom”
I gotta admit, at first, I found it super irritating. Which, I guess, is the whole point of being a heel character, right? He went from this clean-cut babyface to “Prison Dom” overnight, talking about hard time after like, a few hours in county lock-up for that Christmas Eve stunt. It was ridiculous, but kinda genius in how annoying it was.
The way he gets booed now? Louder than almost anyone. You can barely hear him talk sometimes. And he just eats it up, smirking away. That takes some guts, or at least commitment to the role.
Where He’s At Now
Seeing him now, compared to when he started? It’s night and day. He’s found something that works, something that gets a massive reaction. Whether you love him or hate him (and most seem to hate the character), you react. He’s not just riding his dad’s coattails anymore; he’s carved out his own unique spot.
It’s been quite the journey to watch unfold. From the kid next to Rey to one of the most booed guys on the roster. Took some time, took a big character change, but he seems to have figured out how to stand out. It’s one of those things in wrestling – you watch someone develop, try things out, and sometimes they stumble onto something that just clicks. This seems to be his click.
