In an interview with Pro Wrestling Torch in 2016, Rey talked about his son following him into wrestling. He explained, “[Dominik] said, ‘I want to see if you can start training me.’ I said, ‘Wow! That’s perfect.’ Deep down, I wanted him to say that. This is a very difficult sport. But I don’t think it’s more difficult, I think football is much more risky than wrestling.”
