Homicide recently spoke with Sports Illustrated and discussed the original idea for his ring name, not loving the “Homicide” name at first, and more. He said,
“At the time, I was going to be The Latin Terror, this crazy bootleg version of Sting and The Undertaker. But we had America’s Most Wanted on one day, and someone said to me, ‘That’s it. Call yourself Homicide.’ I thought it would last, at most, for a couple weeks. Honestly, I don’t love the name. I’m a family man. I love to entertain wrestling fans, especially kids. They shouldn’t even know what that word means. My mother never liked the name, either. But when it comes to an older crowd, I’m a king of the underground scene. They know that Homicide is going to bring it.”
Homicide will be inducted into the Independent Wrestling Hall of Fame this Saturday in New York City.
