The momentum of Lucha Underground leading to Alberto Del Rio’s return to WWE and their feud in LU:
More power to him. He is a very great in ring performer and you never know what can happen in wrestling as far as your body so you take the money while you can. But he is the utmost professional. He paid such attention to detail with every move and that’s why if you watch him he kills himself as a star and you know it from the moment he walks out of the curtain. Every movement and everything he does means something and it was like being in the ring with Sting or Kurt Angle.
His feud with Drago, Drago’s look being so unique and wrestling in Mexico:
I had a blast. I’ve worked Drago before when I was in AAA and he is a very talented guy. Obviously he used different gimmicks besides his Drago persona before that. It’s always a challenge to wrestle these smaller guys that can do all this cool stuff so it was definitely fun. Plus with all the costumes and the pageantry I was actually legit scared at first because that costume is very creepy. I don’t like Horror movies and stuff like that but up close he looked like the guy from Jeepers Creepers, it was just very freaky. I’ve wrestled in Mexico at least 75% of my career so nothing fazes me but you never know what they have planned. I’ve been in a ring with an electrified steel cage, NOT like the TNA one I was in, it was a real one. It’s a lot different and that’s why Lucha Underground is such a big hit with the mainstream wrestling fans because they aren’t trying to copy WWE or Ring of Honor they are trying to establish their own niche.
Working Ricochet aka Prince Puma:
He is like a young version of AJ Styles and I told him that the first time I wrestled him. It’s very freaky how athletic that guy is because he’s not even trying. When he realizes what he is really doing he is going to be twenty times better than he is now.
