Rey Mysterio will appear at WhatCulture Pro Wrestling's No Regrets iPPV on April 29, and whilst it'd be easy to imagine that getting genuinely excited about working shows is difficult for a veteran like Rey in 2017, his words about WCPW on The Ross Report make it clear he can't wait.

Discussing just how much fun JR has had when announcing WCPW events, Mysterio then revealed that he tuned in for True Legacy in October, 2016 just so he could watch Kurt Angle wrestle Cody Rhodes.

Bubbling with passion when informed that such a match had also taken place, the masked man told Ross he couldn't wait to see Angle's bout opposite Alberto El Patron from True Destiny on catch up too, and that he'd be watching it before No Regrets.

There was a sincerity to Mysterio's words. At this point in his career, he doesn't need to watch wrestling, so it's incredible to imagine he watched True Legacy just to see an independent dream match between Angle and Rhodes.
