Diamond Dallas Page on Dominik Mysterio: “That Kid Is Gonna Be A Hell Of A Babyface When He Makes That Flip”
Dirty Dom get’s high praise from a WWE Hall of Famer.
WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page recently spoke with CasinoBeats, and shared his thoughts on the rise of Dominik Mysterio, praising the young Superstar’s evolution from an uncertain debut to becoming one of the most polarizing figures in professional wrestling today.
Reflecting on the crowd’s reaction during Dominik’s match at WrestleMania, DDP said, “Now wait a second. Let me ask you though, did you not feel the crowd when Mysterio went over? Did you not feel the entire crowd turning him babyface? They loved it. I was there in the front row live and they loved it.”
Page, known for his sharp instincts and deep understanding of audience psychology, highlighted the nuance in Dominik’s current heel run, urging WWE to let it play out. “Like the kid’s gonna be a hell of a babyface when he makes that flip. Hold onto that heel thing as long as you can, because when he flips, I’ll tell you what that’s a kid I’m a big fan of.”
DDP’s admiration for Dominik goes beyond just the reaction from fans. “We both have the same birthday. I love his old man. But I am personally a big fan of how hard he’s worked to get to this spot,” he added. “I don’t know many young kids who could have come in the way he did with his dad, not really know how to work at all, and has turned himself, man.”
Dominik’s journey in WWE began under the tutelage, and shadow of his legendary father, Rey Mysterio. Initially met with skepticism due to his inexperience, Dominik has gradually transformed into a compelling in-ring performer and magnetic character. DDP acknowledged the behind-the-scenes work that made this possible: “Whoever was in charge of making that happen, they are a king maker because that kid, he has got it all and some.”
In closing, Page remarked on the stunning fan reaction at the biggest show of the year: “It was interesting because he’s the biggest heel, and yet at that last WrestleMania, boy you swear to God he was the biggest baby face of the company.”
Dominik Mysterio’s trajectory continues to defy expectations, and with endorsements like this from a Hall of Famer, it’s clear that his star is only beginning to rise.
