Rey Mysterio Admits He Was Terrified After Accidentally Injuring The Undertaker

Rey Mysterio is true veteran in the world of professional wrestling, who has accomplished a lot in the business but he’s had his fair share of accidents in the past. This includes the time he injured The Undertaker and admitted he was scared afterwards.

Rey Mysterio shared a candid moment during his appearance on Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson’s JAXXON PODCAST, recalling an incident where he unintentionally injured The Undertaker during a match.

During the 2010 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, The Master of 619 faced off against The Undertaker and ended up breaking The Deadman’s orbital socket and admitted he was absolutely terrified after the fact.

”Not to mention that the first time I wrestled him (The Undertaker), I ended up breaking his orbital socket. I was scared sh*tless… I do this move where I spring on the top rope and I jump and I pretty much sit on your chest and bring you down. I think what happened is when I sat down and we both fell, my ass went like this, and it pushed up against his face. I’m not that big.

Imagine being the first time you’re stepping in the ring with him, as a legend that he is, I just wanted to make sure that my work was good enough to please him to say, ‘Aye, let me work with him again’ and I wanted to make sure I didn’t hurt. We protect each other. We gotta feed, we gotta fight, we gotta live to fight another day and we gotta make sure we’re good. But with him… I was really tense. That butterfly nervous feeling that I have every time I step in the ring, it was like three times as much working him for the first time. But overall, an incredible person, incredible human being. 

100 percent (Undertaker knew it was a mistake). No, no, no, no, no (he was not upset) and we worked again a couple times after that too.”

The Undertaker and Rey Mysterio have a ton of respect for each other and despite the fact that Mysterio hurt The Deadman. Regardless, Mysterio remains an active in-ring competitor and fans are just happy to see him compete and that’s all that matters.
