Santos Escobar Explain His Actions – Santos Escobar put Rey Mysterio out of action last Friday on WWE SmackDown, and he explained himself on the November 17 episode of WWE SmackDown.
Escobar said that Dominik was right about Rey and that he hopes Rey gets an infection in his leg and they have to amputate it. Zelina Vega came out to confront Escobar, slapping him for his words.
Jaoquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro made their way out to confront Escobar, who seemingly wanted to make amends with him. When they rejected him, Escobar attacked. Carlito eventually made his way down and Escobar hurried away.
Here is a detailed recap of the segment:
He starts by saying there’s something he needs to get off his chest. The fans boo as if he were Dominik Mysterio or Don Callis or something. The fans then break out into defeaning “You suck! You suck!” chants. He mentions an old expression — never meet your heroes. The fans boo again.
He says he comes from a rich lucha libre tradition and his family have all been labeled heroes, but to him, like most of you, his hero was Rey Mysterio. He says he patterned his career off of Rey. And it was his wish that he would be viewed by the current generation the way he used to view Rey Mysterio.
Santos goes on to say everything Dominik Mysterio said about Rey was true. He runs down how Rey took over running the LWO from him and adding new members, such as Carlito. He takes his sport coat off and talks trash to Carlito in Spanish.
Escobar continues by saying he knows Rey is watching and he hopes he remembers while in pain how he deserves everything he got. He says he hopes the surgery went bad and he catches an infection. As he continues talking badly, we see LWO watching on backstage. Zelina Vega comes out looking upset.
Zelina ends up slapping Santos. She walks off upset and crying as Santos smirks watching her leave. He says that was cute. Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde come out and he scolds them for siding with Zelina over him. He says they only exist because he allows them to.
They head to the ring and he tells them to leave. He calls them dead weight and orders them to leave. They turn to do that and he attacks them from behind. He goes to finish them off until Carlito’s theme hits. Carlito runs down to the ring and Santos exits the ring and walks off through the crowd to end the segment.
WWE confirmed on SmackDown that Mysterio would miss several months after knee surgery.
