Since Óscar Gutiérrez is a man who prefers to keep most of his life away from the public, it is known that he is married to Angie Gutierrez. The two entered into the Covenant for Life in 1996 and have been blessed with two children, a son Dominic, born in 1997, and a daughter Aalyah, born in 2001.

The son of Rey Mysterio, Dominic Gutierrez, is a wrestler, as is his father. Although he played sometime in college football, he trained under the veteran professional wrestler Jay Lethal in Florida. Most recently he began training in Calgary, Alberta, Canada at Lance Storm’s Storm Wrestling Academy. It remains to be seen when he will finally make his debut in the ring.

Height and Weight

Rey Mysterio is a man who is much bigger than his size. He may not be the biggest you see in any ring or even the biggest, but he may still be the most entertaining and skillful. He stands at a height of 168 cm (5 feet 6 inches) and weighs 79 kg (175 lb).

Even at this height, Mysterio has fought and defeated much larger wrestlers like Kane, who stands on a height of 2.5 meters.
