Rey Mysterio has used “Booyaka 619” for so long that it has become almost inseparable from his WWE entrance. Before he hangs up the mask, though, Mysterio wants to give fans another taste of his earlier WWE days.
While speaking with The Sun Sport, Mysterio was asked about his original WWE theme, “619,” which featured the familiar “Who’s that jumping out the sky?” opening. He explained that his eventual move to “Booyaka 619” came through his relationship with Mad One, who originally created the song.
“We had been very close with Mad One, who is the original creator of ‘Booyaka 619,’ and we were just trying to make something local.”
Mysterio still has plenty of love for the theme that came before it. Looking back, he believes the period of wrestling associated with “619” helped the song stick with fans long after he stopped using it.
“I did love, very much, that ‘who’s that jumping out of the sky,’ but I do think that because of that time, which was a very special time in wrestling, that song became very nostalgic, and it stuck with a lot of the fans.”
Apparently, hearing another person bring it up was enough to get Mysterio seriously thinking about dusting it off. He revealed that bringing the old theme back before retirement was already something sitting in the back of his mind.
“You’re not the first person that tells me this, so now, after you said it, you kind of confirmed because I had it in the back of my mind, man, I should bring that song out at least, you know, maybe for a period before I hang up the mask.”
Mysterio then took the nostalgia one step further. He doesn’t just want the music back. He wants the entrance that went with it.
“So, I think the confirmation now came when you asked, and you said that’s your favorite song, so I might bring it back, man, just for a run. With the pop-up entrance too!”
Nothing is confirmed yet, but Mysterio clearly likes the idea. If he follows through before eventually hanging up the mask, fans could get one more run of “Who’s that jumping out the sky?” along with the classic pop-up entrance.
Would you want Rey Mysterio to bring back his original “619” theme and pop-up entrance for one final run? Let us know in the comments.
