Rey Mysterio Shares Routine, Family, Future on Podcast

Rey Mysterio, the WWE Hall of Famer known for his high-flying style and enduring career, shared insights into his daily routine, family dynamics in professional wrestling, and future aspirations during a recent appearance on Cody Rhodes' podcast, "What Do You Wanna Talk About?"

At 51, Mysterio maintains his edge through a disciplined morning ritual centered on cold exposure therapy. He begins each day with a three-minute plunge into a 39-degree tub positioned outside his room. "I think I have to contribute that to every morning when I wake up, that cold plunge is waiting outside my room," Mysterio said. "I jump in there... and I stay there for about three minutes." The practice, popular among athletes for aiding recovery and reducing inflammation, helps him combat the physical toll of WWE's demanding schedule. Though some mornings test his resolve, he emphasized consistency over extremes. "If I feel froggy, I might stay there a little bit longer. But sometimes when that three-minute mark hits, I'm out of there," he noted. This routine, he added, keeps him "sharp and on my toes and ready to kick my day off," contributing to his ability to perform alongside wrestlers decades younger.
