Rey Mysterio is one of wrestling’s most beloved and influential figures. WWE’s greatest underdog has had classics against the likes of Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, and The Undertaker.
Speaking of the Deadman, Rey once broke Taker’s nose and concussed him as a result of a botched dive. The WWE Hall of Famer recalled the accidental spot that led to his injury during a recent interview with Tony Hawk on his Hawk vs. Wolf podcast.
“Rey Mysterio, tiny guy, sweetheart of a guy, he ended up jumping off the top rope, and his ass was supposed to hit me in the chest, but it hit me right in the face. It was a bony ass. Bony ass, right on the bridge of my nose. He lands, I have all of his weight on my head, I hit the mat and blew out the other one. I broke my nose and I was concussed. It’s hard being injured by an anus. My nose was broke, I fixed my nose right there, I just squeezed my nose back. The second one, to this day and it’s probably been 15 years, I still have double vision.”
