Kalisto was a recent guest on the Steve Austin Show podcast. During the podcast, Kalisto spoke on a variety of topics about his wrestling career and also spoke about who inspired him to become a wrestler.
One of the names mentioned by Kalisto as an inspiration was Rey Mysterio. Kalisto says that he has received some advice from Rey.
Here is what Kalisto said (quote below via Fightful)
“He’s telling me ‘keep grinding, no matter what. Keep trying to make some noise and make people turn their heads.’ That’s exactly what I’m doing with Lucha House Party. Right now, we’re having fun with the noisemakers and piñatas. And you want action? We’ll give you action.
I’m always telling Rey, ‘What do you think of my match?’ And he’s like, ‘You did good. Just keep grinding and keep doing you.’ That meant a lot to me coming from him”
Kalisto also says that Rey has told him that they will eventually work together:
“He’s always telling me, ‘One day we’ll do something.’ It’s really nice to hear his words and the inspiration and motivation he’s giving me.”
