Rey Mysterio Says He Could Be Out Until 2014, Talks About His WWE Future And More

Rey Mysterio recently spoke with The Miami Herald while in town for WWE's Hell In a Cell pay-per-view. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Doing commentary at Hell In a Cell: "We were first supposed to do a half hour of commentating with the Spanish team. I think it worked out well that I was able to stick around, and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the show very much. It was definitely a different side compared to being in the ring. It was awesome?Being that close to the ring, but not wrestling was breathtaking. For a while I would forget I was commentating and be really into the match. The matches were incredible. I thought the pay-per-view was incredible. The fans make the matches and make the show, so the fans were incredible as well."

Returning for a match in Mexico last month: "It was more of a let's see how my body reacts and my knee reacts to being back in the ring. Overall I felt good but still feel I need a bit more therapy, just from the damage I've done through the years to my knee. We are back to therapy and strengthening up that quad and hamstring, just making sure there are no mistakes this next time."

When will he be back? "I think if I don't do it by the end of the year, then next year. I would hate to push myself instead of taking my time. I want to make a good return, and not being absent shortly after my return. It's something I'm still debating. I'm going to listen to my body.

"I'm definitely still motivated and feel the urge to be in the ring. I've always told myself the day I don't feel that anymore is the day I need to say, 'That's it.' I still have some years inside me that I want to push forward, I want to go out and entertain. I miss it. I really do. I miss being out there and the interaction with the fans. I miss the applause and the 619 chants. I'm hoping that God still gives me a couple of more years for me to perform."
