During a recent interview with Metro UK, Santos Escobar commented on his time working in the LWO so far.
Additionally, Escobar revealed that it was Rey Mysterio who came up with the idea to have Eddie Guerrero’s “Viva La Raza” catchphrase being featured in the faction’s entrance theme.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On Rey Mysterio coming up with the idea for the catchphrase being used: “That was Rey’s idea. Rey’s a genius. Every single good thing that you could say about this industry, he is that… Sure enough with that, [Rey] said, ‘We need something that elevates the LWO and pays respect and homage to who we need to do it.’”
On the value of using the catchphrase: “I believe that’s – as opposed to having us imitate him every step of the way, which I feel would not be the right move, we have that [instead]… It’s sort of like him saying, “It’s my people! I’ll leave you to decide if they’re good enough.’ And that’s it! Viva la Raza.”
