\n\tWho would have thought that the Greatest Mysterio of All-Time began his wrestling career at 8 years old? If you ask WWE Superstar Dirty Dom, it\u2019s his \u201cdeadbeat dad\u201d, Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio Jr., who\u2019s looking up to him these days. <\/p>\n
\n\tAt 28, Dominik Mysterio has become WWE\u2019s most reviled antagonist, drawing nuclear heat from coast to coast due to his snake-like antics and unrelenting arrogance. On Sunday (Aug. 3), Dirty Dom slithered his way to another win, outsmarting AJ Stylez in a cerebral SummerSlam showdown to retain his Intercontinental Championship.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cFrom the smartest guys to the biggest guys, if you\u2019re smart in the ring, you\u2019ll be able to outmaneuver and do whatever you want in there,\u201d Mysterio told me the following day before Monday Night Raw<\/em> from The Barclays Center. \u201cI think I proved that by being a 20-year veteran in this business. AJ thought he was going to walk in there and mess with some kid, but he was messing with the Greatest Mysterio of all-time.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThough Dirty Dom\u2019s in-ring debut began in 2020, the pretentious son of Rey Mysterio Jr. inherited his slick ways from iconic WWE superstar Eddie Guerrero. Much like Latino Heat, the West Coast native fully embraces the art of lying, cheating, stealing \u2014 a philosophy that\u2019s helped him climb to the top of the WWE food chain.<\/p>\n \n\tFor Entry 010 of Mic Drops and Elbow Drops, Dirty Dom chops it up with Carl Lamarre about his Intercontinental Championship reign, who he thinks is the best heel in pro sports, and how he built the ruthless confidence that fuels his fire.<\/p>\n
