Rey Mysterio loves "Nacho Libre."
"Nacho Libre" is a 2006 film starring Jack Black as Ignacio, a Catholic friar who is a secret luchador. For some wrestling fans, it may have been their introduction to lucha libre.
Count lucha legend Rey Mysterio as someone who was a big fan of the film.
"What a great movie," Rey said on the Jaxxon Podcast. "The movie was based on a real priest. There was a priest in Mexico. Nacho Libre was the shit. Jack Black was fucking awesome. That whole movie was based on a real character. A true story. There was a priest in Mexico, Fray Tormenta, that story was based on him. Obviously, they threw in the comedy. He has a church, he would help kids, and at night he would go wrestle."
Mysterio is still going strong in WWE as part of WWE Raw.
Elsewhere during the interview, Rey commented on still getting jitters. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
