“My favorite place to read is next to the pond in my backyard.”
“When you, as a fan, go to see a wrestling show, you don't know what the predetermined outcome is. You take a seat and enjoy the ride - and it's a hell of a ride.”
“It's all about the style and what you can bring to the table - how exciting you can be.”
“I am excited by the opportunity to join such an extraordinary group of athletes and be a part of the 'Lucha Underground' family.”
“I do recall at one point being part of WWE and other guys taking the risk of stepping away, and a lot of guys don't do it because of the fear that it's not going to be the same.”
“I am always updating and coming up with something fresh, whether it's a colour, a trend, or a design, as my uncle always taught me to be unique and different.”
“I'm a big family guy. I want to do more with them.”
“There's a lot of talent out there with just the normal physique. The 'cross-fit' type physique - that's the new exercise that took over.”
“We never had a trampoline, but I wished I did. We'd sneak into a friend's pool and use their trampoline to practice backflips.”
“My elementary school teachers were big on pushing kids to read. If you read a certain amount of books, they would provide you with incentives, sort of like what we are doing with the WrestleMania Reading Challenge.”
“In Mexico, to become a pro wrestler, you have to have a wrestling license, and to get a license, you have to pass a wrestling test.”
“We all have split personalities; we all wear masks at some point in our careers.”
“I am always on the lookout for new gear. If I walk into a Louis Vuitton store, and they have a belt that I don't have, I want it straightaway.”
“When anyone talks about lucha libre and that style of wrestling, the first person they think of is Mil Mascaras. The other man the true wrestling fan will think of is El Santo. These were the names that came to me when I was growing up.”
“I don't regret any steps that I take in life.”
“Soccer runs in my blood.”
“El Santo's movies were kind of out there, but Mil Mascaras did the more reality-based type sci-fi movies. You could say he was one of the first to open the notion for those that subscribe to the mentality that this is sports-entertainment.”
