Some exciting news about Against the Ropes 2023
Rey Mysterio has been honing his acting skills recently, and he is poised to join Netflix’s Against the Ropes 2023.
The series drops on January 25, only three days before the Royal Rumble in San Antonio, Texas, which kicks off the Road to Wrestlemania.
In Against the Ropes 2023, Mysterio serves as a Lucha libre mentor to the main character, a mother who has recently returned from jail only to realize that her daughter no longer respects her. Naturally, the mother turns to wrestling to demonstrate her love and devotion.
We know Rey Mysterio recorded his scenes months ago, but the narrative of the film is already eerily identical to what the Mysterio clan faces each week on Monday Night RAW (WWE Monday Night Raw).
Rey Mysterio has a “featured” credit (at least in WWE’s promotion for the program), but he appears very briefly in the teaser. The future Hall of Famer appears to be counseling the mother and wannabe wrestler.
What doesn’t make sense in Against the Ropes 2023?
To hear someone else’s voice come out of Rey’s mouth (fast forward to roughly the 20-second point in this Youtube video to hear it). Honestly, it’s not like Rey is incapable of delivering believable dialogue; he does it on WWE all the time. So, perhaps this isn’t the final edit, and Mysterio doesn’t get much screen time in this clip anyway. We’ll see.
Rey Mysterio is great for the part, though, given his issues in WWE!
Against the Ropes 2023: How challenging it is to reclaim one’s life
After being released from prison, Angela tries her best to gain her daughter’s respect by entering the ring as a mystery avatar. However, to see how Angela is coping with the ups and downs of this life, we’ll have to follow the entire series. Even though Angela did nothing wrong, she was punished and must claw her way back to earn her daughter’s respect.
The world has changed for her since the day she walked into prison. Now it’s time to see how she’ll adapt to a new culture, one without the support system she left behind. How Angela will face her most daunting challenge, regaining control of her life and earning Rocio’s love and respect, is what we’ll all be watching for.
Enjoy!
