WWE Star Rey Mysterio Comments on Writing His New Book

November 7, 2009

WWE.com has posted an interview with WWE star Rey Mysterio in which he offers comments on writing his soon to be released new book, "Rey Mysterio: Behind The Mask." Below is an excerpt from the interview:

"When WWE came to me and said they wanted me to write the book, I said, ‘Oh no, I’m not ready for that,’ It was more of a shock to me – I wasn’t expecting it. I always planned to write something closer to the end of my career. But they kept persisting.

Once I began working on it, it immediately became very interesting for me. Everything just started flowing. It was really cool to reminisce, looking back at stories from day one all the way to the present, even stories from the age of 8 years old."

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
