WWE's Rey Mysterio reflects on Triplemania involvement, says he's unfazed going into match with 7-foot-3 giant

Before the 619 became a widely known finishing move, before Rey Mysterio became a WWE champion and the superstar he is today, he was getting his first opportunities in the ring at AAA.

Mysterio took part in the first-ever Triplemania event in 1993.

At the time, he was known as Rey Misterio Jr. and he teamed up with Volador and Misterioso to take on Tony Arce, Vulcano and Rocco Valente – known as Los Destructores.

More than three decades later, AAA is a part of WWE, Mysterio is the general manager of AAA and he’s in the main event of Triplemania 34 Night 1 in Las Vegas.

COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK "It’s a very special moment for me in so many ways," he told OutKick Dropkick.

"The fact that I’m now the new GM of AAA.

The fact that AAA was the first company that opened the doors for me and I was at the very first AAA show back in ’92.

I was at the very first Triplemania in ’93.

So, to see this come full circle and to be in the position where I’m at now, it’s been an amazing ride, man.

"A lot of tasks at hand but I’ve been able to manage and control certain things to a certain extent.

Obviously, things got out of control a little bit when I decided to jump on top of Omos and create this match we have tonight here for the first Triplemania in Las Vegas, which is also very special.

We are, in the first time ever in the history of AAA, we’re doing a first-time, two-night Triplemania event.

The one tonight here in Las Vegas and in two different countries and then Sunday in Mexico City." Mysterio’s rivalry with the 7-foot-3 giant Omos will seemingly come to an end on Friday night.

He was forced to suspend Omos after he injured Galeno and attacked Mysterio in August.
