WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio recently spoke with Ryan Satin on his “Out of Character” podcast. During the interview, Rey said he thinks the L.W.O. angle (which originally ran in WCW during the late 90s) could work in 2021 with WWE. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the possibility of an LWO return: “If you think about it, things that were cool back then, are becoming cool once again. I truly believe the LWO would be a huge success nowadays. It might happen. There’s so much talent and the talent that is yet to come.”
On Santos Escobar: “He’s awesome and can go. Great mic skills, very smart, awesome friend. The fact that he’s been given an opportunity and has taken advantage of it, that’s what it’s all about. Wrestling is in his blood and his genes. I was good friends with his father and he was awesome. The fact that I shared the ring with his father and could possibly share the ring with Escobar is history.”
On Angel Garza: “He’s awesome as well. I’ve been a big fan of Garza for a long time and got a chance to work him on the independent scene before we both became part of WWE. He’s organic and a spontaneous individual who can go. It’s like a new rise of what the LWO was back in WCW with all these new faces.”
