"He was awesome. That guy is a machine. He doesn't stop! And he really busted his ass in the ring, man! He was really cool. Really cool to work with. I can't say anything bad about him. He brought it EVERY single time. I remember one time he wasn't feeling good, he was a little hurt and they're like, 'hey, we got you a double' (for him), and he was like, 'no, no! I'm gonna do it!' And he just powered through it! I was like, 'bro!' I had to like stop him. This is a wide angle,
'I don't need you in there, let me get you out of there.' He was like, 'no! It's not gonna look good' and I'm like, 'bro, I swear- I don't need you' I had to talk him out of it.... But that's Zac. He's a work horseman."
— Chavo Guerrero on working with Zac Efron on A24's 'The Iron Claw'

Winter Apocalypse
Chapter 49: Rey
From inside we could hear the chorus of "drink it all, it all, it all!" intoned by far too many voices.
"The one with the huge tattoo on his belly that says 'Mexican'…?" Eddie asked hopefully, and Chavo's eyes lit up.
"Ah, but yes, Rey! I saw him this afternoon and tried to say hello but he ran away!" Chavo had said, applauding himself for his excellent memory. "Do you know that I didn't notice that he had become a centaur? Now that I think about it, he seemed to have grown up a little too much, ese!"
From inside came the chant of "fi-fi-fi-let's finish it!", the famous song of the Hogsmeade group for when the last dose of pipe weed was lit.
"Wait a minute…Rey?" Eddie had looked at him confused. "But yes, hombre, don't you remember him? We went there together in elementary school. The little one, he also always came to the barbecues, his grandfather invited him - that is, actually grandfather invited his uncle Rey Mysterio Senior, but there 'it was him too, he was the one obsessed with Quidditch who wanted at all costs to buy the broom lacquered in gold and with diamond harnesses… but yes, come on, the one who at 9 years old hadn't taken off his shirt in front of his his for entire months because he had a black, purple and green heart tattooed on his shoulder for the team… don't you remember?" Chavo looked at him like he was stupid, and Eddie froze.
Suddenly, hundreds of images from his childhood had flashed before his eyes: the tiny child with the perpetually shining eyes who for some reason always wanted to beat up the older ones and ended up being used as a Quidditch stick on the school pitch, the who he had seen at endless family barbecues, the child who walked around with gold chains around his neck and posed to try not to get hit, the child who played the flute like shit - and it was still him, and now he had a name : Rey Mysterio Jr. Of course, Rey! Rey Rey Rey! His name echoed in her head, loud and clear, like a mantra he couldn't escape.
Eddie rested his head in his hands – now it all made more sense.
Slowly the alcohol had gone to everyone's heads, and as the hours passed, more or less everyone ended up on the floor sleeping, exhausted and tired from the long day. But Eddie couldn't sleep, the thought of Rey inexplicably becoming a centaur gripped him, he couldn't find peace. How was it possible that that tiny child who was denied in many things was now there in the form of a centaur?
Eddie got up from the floor where he had been lying badly, between Cristiano, who was sleeping blissfully, and Chavo, who had passed out some time before. It was late, true, but he had no intention of sitting there idle: he had to investigate and he had to do it immediately. Surely he would find something in the Red Woman's office, after all it was apparently she who wanted to talk to Rey, and if that wasn't enough he would go all the way to the principal's office. He deftly stepped over the various people sleeping on the floor and reached his bed in the next room. From under the mattress he pulled out his trusty invisibility cloak. He sincerely hoped not to meet Melisandre, because he had no desire to be caught, especially after the big evening he had had. Little did he know that in the darkness a pair of blue eyes like two dirty splinters of ice were already staring at him.
