Lucha Underground star Pentagon Jr. recently spoke with The Tag Rope Magazine, here are the highlights…
On what sets Lucha Underground apart from other promotions: “I decided to join because it was something completely different as a product and a completely different opportunity for myself. The fact that it’s not just lucha, but that there’s storylines and most importantly, there is a reason behind why we jump in the ring and fight who we fight. It gives me more reason to get out there.”
On the meaning behind Cero Miedo: “It’s two words that define my life and my lifestyle. It’s a phrase that I wanted to create and keep short. It’s something I identify with personally. I feel deeply connected to it. It’s not just a phrase. It’s a way of a life.”
On his violent feud with Vampiro: “Vampiro is someone that’s definitely a marker in my career because meeting such a legend, a world legend really signifies where my career is. Vampiro has taught me a lot and guided me through the process a lot, but even with all that mentorship I still have deep, deep hate for him. I wanted to know who my master was and Vampiro was at the right place at the right time. I knew that deep down inside, knowing the specific monster he was not only the Lucha Underground world, but the lucha and wrestling world altogether, I knew if I wanted to become that same beast and have that same goal, I needed to face him.”
On potentially going to the WWE: “As far as the monster that is the WWE, I’ve never been approached or met anyone that’s worked with them, but I won’t rule out the opportunity if at any point Lucha Underground stopped existing and they become interested in me. I’m here to work and face anyone I can.”
On the impact that Perro Aguayo Jr’s passing had on him: “It was a major, major loss for me because he was my father in many ways in the ring and he did so much for me in Mexico. I’ve made a promise to him and his memory to become the great great, luchador that I know he wanted me to be and to follow the mission that he had for me.”
