Son of Havoc recently spoke with the Shining Wizards Podcast, here are the highlights…

On what separates Lucha Underground from other products: It’s like a television show about wrestling and not a wrestling television show. It’s so different and fresh. When you watch other products, you see someone standing next to someone with a microphone; it already comes across so tired. And maybe before that people never questioned it because that’s the way it’s always been. But that idea that permeates most of professional wrestling; “That’s the way it’s been” is now being questioned fundamentally and they’re making all those changes to make something new and fresh. We’ve just come across this new way of presenting professional wrestling. It instantly sets it apart. I feel like if you’re flipping through the channels and you came across all those cinematic vignettes, you’d be like, what is this, Breaking Bad? You wouldn’t even interpret it as a wrestling show, and I think that’s great because it caters to non-wrestling fans as well, or it could bring back wrestling fans who kind of lost touch with wrestling.

On Lucha Underground’s talent pool: What I like about the show is, and I’ve talked about this with some of the other talent and they’ve agreed, is that I feel that anyone could essentially fight for any belt at any time and win, and I think that’s insane when you talk about it in the larger context of professional wrestling. Could I be the Lucha Underground champion? I think so. Could Alberto Del Rio be the Lucha Underground champion? Absolutely. Could Johnny Mundo win the belt tomorrow? Yeah. Could Drago win it? Yes. When you start thinking about the crazy possibilities about how everyone is a threat and everyone is legitimate, I think that is a testament to the promotion and to the writing team and to everyone. Because then, to me, every match means something.

On Tough Enough: I don’t think they are looking for talent. I don’t think they’re trying to advance the agenda that way. They’re trying to make a television show; a television show that sells up time. They conveniently have a network that needs programming. They have an audience hungry for more and more content, so they’re creating content through the medium of television, and that’s what Tough Enough is 100%. So, if you are after fifteen minutes of fame for example, or if you would equally want to go out for, I don’t know, America’s Coolest Chef, Survivor, or Real Housewives of New Jersey, if those are the things you love and you’d love to be on them – because it’s the same people making those shows that do this – then I highly recommend it in an attempt to get your fifteen minutes of fame. Now, if you have a love or passion for professional wrestling and would like to get into this business to advance your career in this business in any negligible way, shape, or form, I can’t stress enough that Tough Enough is not the way to go.
