5:13School in San Diego meant leaving Tijuana early enough to navigate the border crossing.
8:11Rey trained at his uncle's wrestling school in a four-rope boxing ring.
37:34Rey compares his upbringing with Dominik's and praises his son's development as a wrestler.
39:46Konnan became an influential mentor after meeting Rey when he was eleven.
54:00Rey recalls Vince McMahon insisting that he restore his mask for his WWE debut.

Steph McMahon and Elyse Dudzinski give Rey Mysterio room to go back before the entrances and championships, to school mornings that began with a border crossing from Tijuana to San Diego. After classes came a pizza-restaurant job, then the trip back to Tijuana for wrestling training. His uncle's school used a four-rope boxing ring.

That journey anchors the most-watched of six new uploads on What's Your Story? With Steph McMahon, an interview that has reached roughly 157,000 views. There's an announcement near the beginning: Rey describes discussions with Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis about a classic five-on-five Survivor Series match featuring Team USA and Team Mexico. But the conversation makes plenty of room for the smaller details behind a very public career.

One especially revealing story explains why his WWE arrival restored a familiar silhouette. After losing his mask in WCW, Rey recalls being told that Vince McMahon wanted him masked again for WWE. The accompanying upload, "Rey was coming WWE without a mask", is now drawing almost as many daily views as the full interview. Those two uploads carry most of the channel's viewing momentum right now.

Rey also reflects on Dominik's development and the doors Konnan opened for him. In the comments, viewers pick up on that mentorship, recall watching Rey's WCW matches as children, and single out the unexpectedly calming sound of his voice. The episode includes a merchandise advertising segment.

The channel added about a thousand subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is currently below its usual level. For this week's listeners, Rey supplies a particularly tangible piece of wrestling history: the mask wasn't simply carried over into WWE. Putting it back on was a decision.

Im glad the Konnan question came up. I never knew how they met and in Rey interviews he always puts emphasis on how Konnan was such a huge part of Rey’s success

Rey's one of my all time favorites. I'm happy that he's still able to do what he loves and grateful I still get to watch him. He hasn't lost a step.

Living legend is a title that gets thrown around a lot.

This man literally is.
