Although Rey Mysterio is still expected to debut with Lucha Underground at their television tapings this weekend, he has yet to finalize his deal as of this week.
Mysterio is looking to wrestle a limited schedule due to his knee issues. His feeling is that if he picks and chooses his dates, he could last another three or four years in the ring, whereas if he works a regular schedule, he likely doesn’t have a lot of time left.
As things stand now, the belief is that the majority of Mysterio’s bookings will be either in AAA in Mexico or Lucha Underground.
Additionally, Mysterio has been pitched the idea of having his own merchandise line separate from any specific wrestling company. The products would be targeting Latinos and children.
