Thanks to HHH, wrestling is BACK. To put this into the storyline brings me back to the 90s, except everyone here knows how wrestling works, and appreciate the hard work and sacrifices some wrestlers make for the sake of storytelling. Well done
You can tell Dom was holding back his tears when he was walking away from his dad’s acceptance speech. Say what you want about him but Dom is committed to his family’s legacy and keeping kayfabe alive by staying in character.
People can only imagine how hard that must have been for him, but mad respect for staying in character and giving his dad the fight I know he's proud of
I love how they handled this. I was worried Dom & the Judgment Day would ruin Rey's MUCH deserved HOF induction, but the silent walk out was perfect, especially since it happened at the start of Rey's speech so the crowd could enjoy the rest of the speech afterwards & not have to worry about Dom.
Giving Dom props here. That had to be so painful and difficult, to stay in character, since he definitely waited his entire life for this day, only to not be able to enjoy it openly like the rest of his family. I'm sure the father/son reunion backstage was intensely emotional.
@PhenomSkllZ It kinda is. And we know. But if I was his son, I'd be upset at having to stay in character, and having to celebrate backstage with him, after waiting my whole freaking life to see this moment.
This moment just made me respect Dom at another level. If he develops even further, I will have to say that he can have the potential of having the ability of his father and the charisma of his uncle Eddie Guerrero. This moment reminds me of the time eddie was a heel.
I gotta give props to Dom cause even I was emotional. For him to hold it together and stay in character during the most honorable night of his father’s life, must’ve took a lot of strength. I definitely would’ve broke character🥺…..Congratulations Rey

No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
WWE's biggest little guy. So many tried to fill in his shoes, some stayed for a while, none sustained. There won't be another like him. True legend, 619!
I'll give Dom credit, it must've been hard to keep kayfabe and walk out on his dad's HoF induction, but he's fully dedicated to his character and that goes a long way in the business.
I thought they did brilliantly, when Rey first noticed Dominik he acted shocked he wasn't going to be hugging him, looked like a deer in the headlights
They're gonna put on a very special match this weekend if things are done right and Rey's gotta be proud of Dom's work the past half a year, which has probably been his best in and out of the ring.
Rey's induction made me cry. I didn't expected the crying part as it was so obvious that he would be inducted one day. So many childhood memories of watching & cheering Rey going against people far above his weight class. Rey vs Brock, Eddie, Angel ,etc are memorable matches. Truly a proof that, dreams can come true.
Damn, it must've been so hard for Dom not to join in with the claps and the HoF speech of his dad... it's hard to top that level of commitment for storytelling nowadays, and for that, Dom will forever have my respect
Desde niño te sigo y te vi en tus mejores momentos rompiendo el estereotipo de que solo los luchadores grandes y musculosos podían triunfar en WWE. Fuiste campeón mundial, ganaste el Royal Rumble y tumbaste a gigantes. Ahora soy un adulto y te veo siendo inducido al Salón de la Fama de WWE. GRACIAS POR TODO REY MYSTERIO 🥺❤️🇲🇽🙌
That moment will go down in history as one of the greatest moments in WWE. Full Credit to Dom for staying in the character to make the storyline more beautiful👏👏👏. Pretty sure He was getting emotional after walked into the backstage🥺🥺🥺. But he made an immortal heel moment for the professional wrestling world. He is a legend in the making & One day he will be a WWE HOF too. 🙏🙏🙏
Big respect to Dominik, it must've been hard for him to walk out on his dad's biggest night, but in reality, he still respects his dad, and stayed in character in the WWE industry.
Its a once in a lifetime opportunity to actually be there to witness this, not backstage. Why can't they just keep them there for a while they stay in character? I'm pretty sure they'd be cool to not cry or look touched but pour out their eyes back stage.

No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
Lol it wasn't tough for Dom to leave, they all love doing this stuff. Plus Dom was literally watching probably behind the curtain. Yall be taking this wrestling stuff way too seriously
Look closely at Dominik’s face when he’s walking to the back he starts to tear up because he couldn’t hold in how proud he was of his Dad to be inducted. Then to be in this storyline where he walks away, it probably hurt him too. So those two emotions I can clearly see on his face. This match is going to be epic. Especially when Rey hits his own son with a 619, the crowd will pop so loud.
Nothing but respect for Dom here, everyone in the comments sees it the same way too. Him and his dad will have had an emotional moment backstage but it would still have been difficult to walk out like that. Props man.
@Armie Kurt dude wdym, this is literally a script. They’re all extremely proud for Rey, they just can’t show it because they’re in character, do you not get that?
Triple H learned much from his time in the WWE because he understood how storylines should go. He also was mostly a career Heel for the most part and He saw potential in Dom as he did in everybody else he pushed on the Heel route. Even more so when it's royalty and somebody who doesn't mind putting in work and learning from others who are better than you.
Dom is the only Gen Z that has the look of an actual Gen Z Tiktoker those Off-White shirts and other expensive street wear is mad mad drip any wrestling talent that sports these in wrestling is either trying to hold on to youth desperately are really old millenials pretending to still be young props to him and bless him for actually pulling this off really good
No words to describe. Dom's mind was in another level, seeing his own Father as a Hall of Famer. It was a good built up storyline between father and son. Rey knew what was going to happen between him and Dom.
We all here know that deep inside of his heart, he really proud of his dad, and we all knew for a fact that Dom himself knew that all of this storyline between him and his dad are painful to him. But yet he really controlled it down and know what best for the bussiness. He really is a Mysterio ❤
Dom is actually doin A good job keeping kayfabe alive because you don't see him interacting with rey outside of wwe anywhere on social media etc ever since he turn on him
Mixed feelings - incredible character work, but at the same time - I feel it’s taken away from a once in a lifetime, real life moment. In saying that, well done to all involved.
mundial, ganaste el Royal Rumble y tumbaste a gigantes. Ahora soy un adulto y te veo siendo inducido al Salón de la Fama de WWE. GRACIAS POR TODO REY MYSTERIO 🇲🇽
This is one of the most unique WWE Hall of Fame moments ever because of the underlying storyline within the inductee who is currently an active wrestler in the company and his opponent who happens to be related to the inductee. Kudos to WWE to play this storyline further.
There is only one other instance of WWE inducting someone who was in an active story line and that was Ric Flair in 2013. He and HBK had their match at Wrestlermania 24. Ric addressed Shawn, who was sitting in the front row and was sitting there stoically. That one was "face vs face" so it comes nowhere close to this.
Let’s not forget that from a certain perspective, this entire feud has now vaulted the Mysterio name into the upper echelon of royalty of wrestling names with Rey getting his flowers into the hall of fame. Just that alone has me so freaking amped. I honestly hope their match opens mania as a callback to mania 21 with Rey and Eddie. RIP Latino heat
Congrats to Rey. I was intrigued growing up watching his performance at his size. He was one of my faves. Seeing Dom walking out, I bet it was tough when his father is an HOF inductee. On the other hand, this will be memorable and will give him major push in the WWE. Just watch!
Mis respeto y consideración a REY MISTERIO unos de los luchadores más emblemático de la cultura mexicana y representante latinoamericano, deja un legado fuerte en la industria de la WWE. Estoy muy seguro que Dom está muy orgulloso de su padre. Mis felicitaciones Rey Misterio. 👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
All my respect to Dom. He stayed well in character on his dad's biggest night, as his child he would've wanted to be by his side. Rhea and Damian were the best supporters... ❤
Got to give credit to Dom for getting way into his character. We all knew Dom would’ve loved to be the one to be with his father up there and praise him. Deep down even though he’s in kayfabe Dom is really happy and proud of his father
Man Rey really is one of the most deserving HOF inductees. He literally changed North American wrestling forever when he was a kid. I still remember the first time I saw him in WCW and begging my friends to watch Nitro just to see him. And I’d seen Guerrero and the other smaller Mexican wrestlers WCW had before Rey came but he was something I’d never seen before. Then he breaks down barriers in WWE going from light heavyweight champion to winning the big one. And he seems to have done everything with total class. Never hear a bad word about him. Never hear of him politicking or causing a fuss about his spot. Everything he got he earned. And now he’s still killing it 25+ years after he debuted and he’s turned his son into a star and he’s probably going to put Dom over on the biggest stage ever. If this is his last match what a way to end it 👏
He’s gonna go far, the fact that he kept it together while asking away from his fathers big night. Never broke kayfabe, takes balls to do it the way he’s doing it. I also love that they’re bringing the drama to these types of events haha. Makes it stand out more
I dont care if its scripted, that had to be absolutely soul rending to even consider, let alone go through with So many props to Dominik for going through with it. We all know beyond the ring, he is so proud of his dad
I heard Dom had to maintain character while holding back tears for his father being inducted. Big props. I be cappin on him but he starting to improve.
You know that had to hurt Dom to walk out. It's sad to see him go through his heel persona at the same time Rey Mysterio was inducted in the Hall of Fame. In reality, Dom is really proud of his dad.
him being able to walk out as a storyline during his family member’s speech is beautiful, I think they all wanted to cry in a joyful way if you pay attention bro has a smirk on his face the whole time.
This is why sometimes I kinda want to see what goes on behind the scenes in the WWE. I'm betting once Dom got to backstage, he sat, watching his dad, proud of his achievements and being in the hall of fame, likely tearing up as he talked, especially about the greatest family friend of theirs, Eddie. Congratulations Rey, you absolute deserve, not only the induction, but to be the main highlight of the class of 2023.
Brought back memories of Wrestlemania 10 when Bret won the world title and Owen was at the ramp way thinking of celebrating with him but walked to the back. Loved it on what Dom did.
Dom is truely one of the best heels we have right now, and even though we all hate him so much, I am very sure that some of us felt a little bit of a heartbreak watching him leave his fathers HOF induction and speech. This business is rough, not only on your body, but also on your soul, and he really deserves so much credit for this!
Everyone talking about how hard it probably was for Dom (and it probably was) but it's gotta be awesome to have your son play such a big role in your HoF speech.
Now I respect him bc that was real! He must’ve been so sad and upset that he couldn’t see his dads hof induction but he played through and kept his character on
So hard and yet so cool to watch. If Dom didn't get maximum respect after this dunno what else he could do in the future. This moment will define his career and it's gonna be awesome. What a school for that young man! That is dedication. Lucha before Family. Epico!

Tell you what, considering Rey will only get inducted once, it must’ve been so hard for Dom to walk out on his own dad’s speech but also you gotta give full credit to him too because that shows he’s a fully established heel and that’ll go far in this industry. I hope/imagine he was watching it backstage with tears in his eyes though, you can’t not watch your legendary father receive WWE’s greatest honour and not feel emotional during his speech!

I didn’t notice till now but if you look closely at doms face you can see this was really hard for him. He grew up watching his dad and to have to stay in character and walk out on the biggest night of his life is visibly so hard for him but he held his character. You know the moment the cameras went off he held his dad with tears in his eyes as Rey tells him good job mijo
I know many people feel some way about the storyline, real or fake. And it's understood because it hits a deep emotion. But respect goes to Rey and Dominic for pulling something like this off. We've seen many family drama storylines pulled off in the WWE heck, in wrestling, for that matter. But this is the most dedicated storyline I've ever seen from a standpoint that everybody has been part of since day one. We have a lot of memorable moments that came from it. And it shows the dedication at the end of the day that Rey is giving up a lot to allow his son to have a platform to excel further than anything-props to him to allow this to happen. And respect goes out to Dominic for up in his game to match the level of this storyline.
This is great for the storyline. You know its a work 100% because not a single one of those legends on the stage with him would have sat back like that while disrespecting his dad like that lol he probably watched the speech from back stage and then gave his dad a big hug when he came back
Edge being one of the greatest heels & storytellers of all time helped mold & bring out the best in Judgement Day. What a tremendous faction, please keep them together for years! Congratulations on a 35 year career to Rey Mysterio, one of my heros he deserves this without a doubt. Thankyou for the memories Oralé! Viva La Raza!
I love how they played into the storyline with THIS!!! BRAVO!!! I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR A AMBUSH AFTERWARDS!! BRILLIANT!!! Vince need to take notes!!
100% deserved for Rey. One of my personal all-time favourites. Gotta respect the commitment to Kayfabe from Dom and Rhea Ripley, as well. Oh and Rhea looks amazing.
Porque tenía que mantener su personaje. A él le hubiera encantado abrazar a su padre y todo, pero estaban en smackdown. Quizás si lo hubieran hecho como antes, como una ceremonia aparte entonces Dom no se hubiera preocupado por el personaje y hubiera hasta inducido a Rey al HoF
@Francisco Javier Castellano Expósito hay una rivalidad de por medio. Por eso no pudo hacerlo durante el programa… si hubieran hecho una ceremonia aparte así como antes, no hay duda de que Dom lo felicitaría, abrazaría y hasta quizás lo hubiera inducido al salón de la fama.
We know Dominick was watching it backstage. And that they celebrated afterwards. I have to say. Rey’s speech was an awesome story. Very much deserved. Congratulations to him and his proud family
I dig Rhea's ring make-up, but I really dig that she went for the natural look to match for the Stranger Things homage, and I flat out LOVE the emo chick on prom night (who's actually gorgeous) look she's pulling off here. It's so perfect for Dom's angle for them to look as classy as possible then walk right out as he starts speaking.
A story is only as good as your villain. Dom is a special kid. Nothing but respect to him and his family for keeping the storyline. Can’t wait for Dom’s redemption arc and a wholesome reunion. Feels like an anime! Gotta get Sasuke back from the dark side!
You can so tell Dominik was holding back his tears, but as soon as he stepped behind those curtains they all came out it must be so hard for him to "walk out" of his dad's hall of fame speech. I know behind the scenes dominik, rhea, and priest, and rey all embraced in a warm soul heart hug
Man that was a bad feeling being looked at directly without being acknowledged as the rest especially when it's in front of everyone that's knows but rather not speak in public about...Trust me💯✌🏾 That s*** is crunchy
WWE has needed to do things like this for a while, HHH understanding why old school heel heat works... everyone in the crowd wants to see Dom get beat... mixing in storylines with real events is a great touch
Dom is dedicated. Gotta give him that. I don't know if I could have kept it up at that moment. Big congrats to Rey. I remember seeing him the 1st time on WCW television, and it was at the very least unique and, at best, Hall of Fame worthy.
Man it's crazy how a year ago everybody said there's nothing to do with Dominic and now he's like one of the most talked about things in the show good for him
Seeing Rey Mysterio put over his boy on the grandest stage of them all will literally give me chills. I very very seldom cheer against Mysterio, but this is one match that I don't want to see him win in
Great job by Dominick to stay in character throughout the whole thing. I know deep inside he is very proud of his father. Congratulations to Rey Mysterio, that was one hell of a speech. You’ve earned your spot in pro-wrestling, Lucha Libre history, and our hearts.
I hope there’s behind the scenes footage of Dom reacting to Rey’s speech back stage. I know they’re pushing this storyline so post the footage after the fight. I just hope we get to see him happy to watch his dad’s speech
That must’ve been hard you know in reality Dom is probably super proud that his dad is in the HOF
Thats why he was still there, to show his respects. While also staying in character.
He isn't proud! He doesn't care at all 😡
@K- Lee it's still real to you dammit
@K- Lee you still believe WWE is not scripted?
@K- Lee How old are you?
Thanks to HHH, wrestling is BACK. To put this into the storyline brings me back to the 90s, except everyone here knows how wrestling works, and appreciate the hard work and sacrifices some wrestlers make for the sake of storytelling. Well done
Spambot stole comment from someone else, reported
You know WWE isnt the only wrestling promotion right? 💀 Although I must admit HHH has been COOKIN lately fr
yes
It's tired. It's always Latinos or black people with custodial and parental problems in the WWE.
You can tell Dom was holding back his tears when he was walking away from his dad’s acceptance speech. Say what you want about him but Dom is committed to his family’s legacy and keeping kayfabe alive by staying in character.
Yeah i can tell but good storytelling
You can't tell. Lmao I'm a body language expert. He has a blank face on. But yes I'm sure you're projecting means so much more than science
@Zenix Saxzon body language isn’t a science and you are projecting also
@Zenix Saxzon This guy lol
@Zenix Saxzon iM a BoDy LaNgUaGe ExPeRt!!111 🤓
When you know that it's not real but it still feels realistic. That's wrestling. ✊
Wrestling is dead after 2010 it is all gone to the pg era and sucked before 2010 wrestling were realistic and awesome
People can only imagine how hard that must have been for him, but mad respect for staying in character and giving his dad the fight I know he's proud of
I love how they handled this. I was worried Dom & the Judgment Day would ruin Rey's MUCH deserved HOF induction, but the silent walk out was perfect, especially since it happened at the start of Rey's speech so the crowd could enjoy the rest of the speech afterwards & not have to worry about Dom.
Giving Dom props here. That had to be so painful and difficult, to stay in character, since he definitely waited his entire life for this day, only to not be able to enjoy it openly like the rest of his family. I'm sure the father/son reunion backstage was intensely emotional.
I think it's one of those things that will set I'm apart.
It’s not that serious lol, they still celebrated together after.
@PhenomSkllZ It kinda is. And we know. But if I was his son, I'd be upset at having to stay in character, and having to celebrate backstage with him, after waiting my whole freaking life to see this moment.
Nah he really hates his deadbeat dad...lol
Going backstage not only continues the narrative of their story but Dom can drop kayfabe and let the emotions out
This moment just made me respect Dom at another level. If he develops even further, I will have to say that he can have the potential of having the ability of his father and the charisma of his uncle Eddie Guerrero. This moment reminds me of the time eddie was a heel.
Dom holds the storyline...and Rey with 6 words immediately recaptures his moment and shows why he's beloved. Props to both of them
Rhea's presence is undeniable.
She’s got IT
U no she was next buddy murphy but he had to move out of the camera so they can do their storyline hahaha
Rhea's adam's apple is undeniable...
I gotta give props to Dom cause even I was emotional. For him to hold it together and stay in character during the most honorable night of his father’s life, must’ve took a lot of strength. I definitely would’ve broke character🥺…..Congratulations Rey

I'll give Dom credit, it must've been hard to keep kayfabe and walk out on his dad's HoF induction, but he's fully dedicated to his character and that goes a long way in the business.
Dom is acting like Kanye West
@Skye Relova Thankfully Dom is only acting. Lol
I thought they did brilliantly, when Rey first noticed Dominik he acted shocked he wasn't going to be hugging him, looked like a deer in the headlights
They're gonna put on a very special match this weekend if things are done right and Rey's gotta be proud of Dom's work the past half a year, which has probably been his best in and out of the ring.
Even better: LA Knight not applauding
Rey's induction made me cry. I didn't expected the crying part as it was so obvious that he would be inducted one day. So many childhood memories of watching & cheering Rey going against people far above his weight class. Rey vs Brock, Eddie, Angel ,etc are memorable matches.

That moment will go down in history as one of the greatest moments in WWE. Full Credit to Dom for staying in the character to make the storyline more beautiful👏👏👏. Pretty sure He was getting emotional after walked into the backstage🥺🥺🥺. But he made an immortal heel moment for the professional wrestling world.

Lol it wasn't tough for Dom to leave, they all love doing this stuff. Plus Dom was literally watching probably behind the curtain. Yall be taking this wrestling stuff way too seriously
It's a shame he had to do it without his son sitting there or mentioning him, but he showed us how loyal he is and how he deserves it.
Look closely at Dominik’s face when he’s walking to the back he starts to tear up because he couldn’t hold in how proud he was of his Dad to be inducted. Then to be in this storyline where he walks away, it probably hurt him too. So those two emotions I can clearly see on his face. This match is going to be epic.

Gotta admit it's awesome how Judgement Day stayed in character while walking out on Rey's speech even though you know they're all proud of him.
Lol
right!
Nope they are not proud of him. This is real. They hated Rey, this is not kayfabe.
@Armie Kurt dude wdym, this is literally a script. They’re all extremely proud for Rey, they just can’t show it because they’re in character, do you not get that?
Triple H learned much from his time in the WWE because he understood how storylines should go.

Even more so when it's royalty and somebody who doesn't mind putting in work and learning from others who are better than you.
Tears are about to literally roll down and Boy is holding it back by putting on a straight face
Dom is the only Gen Z that has the look of an actual Gen Z Tiktoker
those Off-White shirts and other expensive street wear is mad mad drip
any wrestling talent that sports these in wrestling is either trying to hold on to youth desperately are really old millenials pretending to still be young
props to him and bless him for actually pulling this off really good
Have you not seen Cora Jade and Austin Theory?
Why would anyone in their right mind want to look like a tiktoker?
@S B so he can do his job right and get people hating on him as they are right now.
Dom is doing great!
Stop thinking you own a style lmfao
@Salaar Ansari who's hating on him... because honestly it ain't even that serious
No words to describe. Dom's mind was in another level, seeing his own Father as a Hall of Famer. It was a good built up storyline between father and son. Rey knew what was going to happen between him and Dom.
We all here know that deep inside of his heart, he really proud of his dad, and we all knew for a fact that Dom himself knew that all of this storyline between him and his dad are painful to him. But yet he really controlled it down and know what best for the bussiness. He really is a Mysterio ❤
I know it was tough for Dom to leave but the storyline is amazing. Hope for the best for Rey's future
I think it was not tough because he’ll watch it at home
@the _elmeister then you must not understand that it’s a storyline and they don’t legitimately hate each other.
Dom is actually doin A good job keeping kayfabe alive because you don't see him interacting with rey outside of wwe anywhere on social media etc ever since he turn on him
It wasn’t tough for him to leave cause he’ll probably watch his speech when he gets home anyway
This storyline is trash. And Rey is still going to wrestle.
Creo que Rey es ahora mismo lo más grande de la lucha libre en representación latino 🤗 Felicidades 👏
Big respect to Dom. I bet he wanted to experience the entirety of his dad's hall of Fame but he sacrificed for the betterment of his heel persona
Mixed feelings - incredible character work, but at the same time - I feel it’s taken away from a once in a lifetime, real life moment.
In saying that, well done to all involved.
mundial, ganaste el Royal Rumble y tumbaste a gigantes. Ahora soy un adulto y te veo siendo inducido al Salón de la Fama de WWE. GRACIAS POR TODO REY MYSTERIO 🇲🇽

Let’s not forget that from a certain perspective, this entire feud has now vaulted the Mysterio name into the upper echelon of royalty of wrestling names with Rey getting his flowers into the hall of fame. Just that alone has me so freaking amped. I honestly hope their match opens mania as a callback to mania 21 with Rey and Eddie. RIP Latino heat

Give him props for keeping character. I'm sure he is very proud of his father 🤙🏿👏🏿 619 thank Rey mysterio Jr. 🇲🇽🇺🇸🥂
Rey putting his son hella over. 👏🏽 You know they hugged it out backstage. Awesome moment.
Mis respeto y consideración a REY MISTERIO unos de los luchadores más emblemático de la cultura mexicana y representante latinoamericano, deja un legado fuerte en la industria de la WWE. Estoy muy seguro que Dom está muy orgulloso de su padre. Mis felicitaciones Rey Misterio. 👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Rey Mesterio is my fav. W, from.Phil.
All my respect to Dom. He stayed well in character on his dad's biggest night, as his child he would've wanted to be by his side. Rhea and Damian were the best supporters... ❤
Jesus, he was backstage. It's not a big deal
@William McCormick dude, it's called staying in character. It's not like it is real, and it's also scripted
@Jey CB You said the stupid part out loud.
@Jey CB 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@William McCormick well, at least i am telling the truth, thank you very much 😊
I bet you all, as soon as Dominik walks away. He starts to burst into tears because he’s proud of his pop
Respect for Dom to this much dedication to his heel character 🔥❤️
The hardest part is for Dom, he had to remain in character, as much as he wanted to be right beside his idol/father.
Got to give credit to Dom for getting way into his character. We all knew Dom would’ve loved to be the one to be with his father up there and praise him. Deep down even though he’s in kayfabe Dom is really happy and proud of his father
Rey misterio sin dudarlo es el luchador más querido, muy merecido este gran reconocimiento
Dominik tiene mi respeto por mantener el personaje
And that's how a story is properly allround told.. I think Dom was at the hard end of it, yet delivered like a pro🙌🏼
Man Rey really is one of the most deserving HOF inductees. He literally changed North American wrestling forever when he was a kid. I still remember the first time I saw him in WCW and begging my friends to watch Nitro just to see him. And I’d seen Guerrero and the other smaller Mexican wrestlers WCW had before Rey came but he was something I’d never seen before. Then he breaks down barriers in WWE going from light heavyweight champion to winning the big one. And he seems to have done everything with total class. Never hear a bad word about him. Never hear of him politicking or causing a fuss about his spot. Everything he got he earned. And now he’s still killing it 25+ years after he debuted and he’s turned his son into a star and he’s probably going to put Dom over on the biggest stage ever. If this is his last match what a way to end it 👏
Big facts.. him and Muta. Fitting they go in together.
Facts, many people think nWo or Goldberg when someone says WCW. The cruiserweights and Luchadors were more entertaining to me.
Maaaan juventude if I spelled that right and pyscosis were so damn dope to me.
He’s gonna go far, the fact that he kept it together while asking away from his fathers big night. Never broke kayfabe, takes balls to do it the way he’s doing it. I also love that they’re bringing the drama to these types of events haha. Makes it stand out more
I dont care if its scripted, that had to be absolutely soul rending to even consider, let alone go through with
So many props to Dominik for going through with it. We all know beyond the ring, he is so proud of his dad
You got to respect Dom for staying in character, you know that he’s actually so proud of his father.
I heard Dom had to maintain character while holding back tears for his father being inducted. Big props. I be cappin on him but he starting to improve.
Rey Mysterio is a legendary Icon ❤🇲🇽
Esse homem marcou minha infância. Parabéns Rey
Damn I’m really into this storyline and how far the wrestlers are going to maintain it
You know that had to hurt Dom to walk out. It's sad to see him go through his heel persona at the same time Rey Mysterio was inducted in the Hall of Fame. In reality, Dom is really proud of his dad.
him being able to walk out as a storyline during his family member’s speech is beautiful, I think they all wanted to cry in a joyful way if you pay attention bro has a smirk on his face the whole time.
This is why sometimes I kinda want to see what goes on behind the scenes in the WWE. I'm betting once Dom got to backstage, he sat, watching his dad, proud of his achievements and being in the hall of fame, likely tearing up as he talked, especially about the greatest family friend of theirs, Eddie.
Congratulations Rey, you absolute deserve, not only the induction, but to be the main highlight of the class of 2023.
Brought back memories of Wrestlemania 10 when Bret won the world title and Owen was at the ramp way thinking of celebrating with him but walked to the back. Loved it on what Dom did.
Dom is truely one of the best heels we have right now, and even though we all hate him so much, I am very sure that some of us felt a little bit of a heartbreak watching him leave his fathers HOF induction and speech. This business is rough, not only on your body, but also on your soul, and he really deserves so much credit for this!
Dominik mysterio doesn't have a good heart. Bad Evil Heart.
It isn't real bro.
@Seth Konadu Odei you can see him holding the tears back as he had to maintain character
I’ll argue that Dominick is a better heel than MJF at the moment.
Everyone talking about how hard it probably was for Dom (and it probably was) but it's gotta be awesome to have your son play such a big role in your HoF speech.
Now I respect him bc that was real! He must’ve been so sad and upset that he couldn’t see his dads hof induction but he played through and kept his character on
Rhea and Dom are killing it as heels there hasn't been better villains in easily ten years.
So hard and yet so cool to watch. If Dom didn't get maximum respect after this dunno what else he could do in the future. This moment will define his career and it's gonna be awesome. What a school for that young man!
That is dedication. Lucha before Family. Epico!

“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
That was hard to do but remained in character and now will forever be able to play it back and be a stronger part of that HOF induction speech!!
Tell you what, considering Rey will only get inducted once, it must’ve been so hard for Dom to walk out on his own dad’s speech but also you gotta give full credit to him too because that shows he’s a fully established heel and that’ll go far in this industry. I hope/imagine he was watching it backstage with tears in his eyes though, you can’t not watch your legendary father receive WWE’s greatest honour and not feel emotional during his speech!
Justin day fire
5000000 people weather don son walks out

He learned under his pops and now he got Finn and Priest to learn from also while Mami gives the moral support.
I didn’t notice till now but if you look closely at doms face you can see this was really hard for him. He grew up watching his dad and to have to stay in character and walk out on the biggest night of his life is visibly so hard for him but he held his character. You know the moment the cameras went off he held his dad with tears in his eyes as Rey tells him good job mijo
I know many people feel some way about the storyline, real or fake. And it's understood because it hits a deep emotion. But respect goes to Rey and Dominic for pulling something like this off. We've seen many family drama storylines pulled off in the WWE heck, in wrestling, for that matter. But this is the most dedicated storyline I've ever seen from a standpoint that everybody has been part of since day one. We have a lot of memorable moments that came from it. And it shows the dedication at the end of the day that Rey is giving up a lot to allow his son to have a platform to excel further than anything-props to him to allow this to happen. And respect goes out to Dominic for up in his game to match the level of this storyline.
This is great for the storyline. You know its a work 100% because not a single one of those legends on the stage with him would have sat back like that while disrespecting his dad like that lol he probably watched the speech from back stage and then gave his dad a big hug when he came back
Edge being one of the greatest heels & storytellers of all time helped mold & bring out the best in Judgement Day. What a tremendous faction, please keep them together for years! Congratulations on a 35 year career to Rey Mysterio, one of my heros he deserves this without a doubt. Thankyou for the memories Oralé! Viva La Raza!
I love how they played into the storyline with THIS!!! BRAVO!!! I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR A AMBUSH AFTERWARDS!! BRILLIANT!!! Vince need to take notes!!
You can tell dom was holding back tears, he was definitely proud of his dad
Thank you Rey!
This interaction just shows the family’s commitment to the business.
I loved it! Thank you!
100% deserved for Rey. One of my personal all-time favourites.
Gotta respect the commitment to Kayfabe from Dom and Rhea Ripley, as well.
Oh and Rhea looks amazing.
Congrats Rey Mysterio! You deserve it. That must have been hard to watch. Dom still loves his dad. Keep your head up Rey.❤❤
Seeing Rey walk past legends like Booker and Kurt almost brought tears to my eyes, man it’s been so long, wish Eddie was here to see
Rey mysterio my hero from childhood 😭❤️😘😘
Todos sabemos que dominik ama a su padre pero el show debe continuar...
Por que
Porque tenía que mantener su personaje. A él le hubiera encantado abrazar a su padre y todo, pero estaban en smackdown. Quizás si lo hubieran hecho como antes, como una ceremonia aparte entonces Dom no se hubiera preocupado por el personaje y hubiera hasta inducido a Rey al HoF
@Héctor Güitz En mitad de una rivalidad?? No lo sé
@Francisco Javier Castellano Expósito hay una rivalidad de por medio. Por eso no pudo hacerlo durante el programa… si hubieran hecho una ceremonia aparte así como antes, no hay duda de que Dom lo felicitaría, abrazaría y hasta quizás lo hubiera inducido al salón de la fama.
@Héctor Güitz Es que si hubiera una ceremonia Dom directamente ni hubiera estado... Él lo hubiera felicitado en Backstage.
We know Dominick was watching it backstage. And that they celebrated afterwards. I have to say. Rey’s speech was an awesome story. Very much deserved. Congratulations to him and his proud family
I dig Rhea's ring make-up, but I really dig that she went for the natural look to match for the Stranger Things homage, and I flat out LOVE the emo chick on prom night (who's actually gorgeous) look she's pulling off here. It's so perfect for Dom's angle for them to look as classy as possible then walk right out as he starts speaking.
Kurt and Rey had an excellent 2002 SummerSlam match. It's great to see the two greet each other happily.
Rey Mysterio mi luchador favorito de WWE 🔥🔥🔥
A story is only as good as your villain. Dom is a special kid. Nothing but respect to him and his family for keeping the storyline. Can’t wait for Dom’s redemption arc and a wholesome reunion. Feels like an anime! Gotta get Sasuke back from the dark side!
You can so tell Dominik was holding back his tears, but as soon as he stepped behind those curtains they all came out it must be so hard for him to "walk out" of his dad's hall of fame speech. I know behind the scenes dominik, rhea, and priest, and rey all embraced in a warm soul heart hug
It looks pretty easy to miss prison changes a man
Nahhhh
Pretty sure they went back to the seat at the back
Man that was a bad feeling being looked at directly without being acknowledged as the rest especially when it's in front of everyone that's knows but rather not speak in public about...Trust me💯✌🏾 That s*** is crunchy
🙄
Big props to Dom, it must've been hard to walk out like that.
Dom really kept his on-screen character on the play. It's nice to see him fit into the gimmick.
WWE has needed to do things like this for a while, HHH understanding why old school heel heat works... everyone in the crowd wants to see Dom get beat... mixing in storylines with real events is a great touch
Dom is dedicated. Gotta give him that.
I don't know if I could have kept it up at that moment.
Big congrats to Rey. I remember seeing him the 1st time on WCW television, and it was at the very least unique and, at best, Hall of Fame worthy.
Man it's crazy how a year ago everybody said there's nothing to do with Dominic and now he's like one of the most talked about things in the show good for him
Dom definitely gave his Dad the biggest hug and they had all the feels backstage 💯❤️✅🤙
Everyone says it must've been hard for Dom but imagine how Rey feels . We all know he loves his boy
Seeing Rey Mysterio put over his boy on the grandest stage of them all will literally give me chills. I very very seldom cheer against Mysterio, but this is one match that I don't want to see him win in
Rey living legend... love from India 🇮🇳 I think rey wanted to hug dom but hugged booker t...
Great storytelling. Much respect to Dom for doing this.
I bet Dom was watching the whole speech in the back with tears in his eyes😢
Great job by Dominick to stay in character throughout the whole thing. I know deep inside he is very proud of his father. Congratulations to Rey Mysterio, that was one hell of a speech. You’ve earned your spot in pro-wrestling, Lucha Libre history, and our hearts.
1:07 Reys truly looks like he’s about to cry; especially in the live broadcast. A+ tier storyline
The Mysterios really take wrestling seriously.
So sad to see a well-known legend retire.
Rey and his son have been working to entertain us for nearly 30 years. I appreciate this long style storytelling. Congratulations Mr. Mysterio. 🙂
Dominik maintaining character that great respect for enduring such an emotional moment for his father.
I hope there’s behind the scenes footage of Dom reacting to Rey’s speech back stage. I know they’re pushing this storyline so post the footage after the fight. I just hope we get to see him happy to watch his dad’s speech
Dude, this crowd was so incredible this has to have been one of my most favorite hall of fames!
LOVE YOU REY MYSTERIO HOF!!!
You've got it wrong, it's Rey Mastrio
Mine too.
Connan was great too 💯
