In a recent press conference to promote the CMLL x NJPW FantasticaMania event, Rocky Romero discussed his role in making the event possible as he referred to himself as the “Forbidden Door” and took credit for opening the door for other wrestlers to enter CMLL.
Stars such as Zack Sabre Jr. and Hiromu Takahashi from NJPW will work the show tonight.
Romero said, “The whole reason of FantasticaMania is because of me. Everybody should be thanking Rocky Romero. Taiji Ishimori should be thanking Rocky Romero. Hiromu Takahashi, Zack Sabre Jr., all the fans that are gonna be watching tonight in the arena should be thanking Rocky Romero because I am the Forbidden Door. Who opened this door and let all these wrestlers come through. Me. I haven’t been thanked once. Nobody called me and said, ‘Thank you.’ Mistico never called me or sent me a message to say thank you for tonight. Tonight’s another sell-out for one reason, and that’s Rocky Romero.”
