Johnny Mundo on having more fun in Lucha Underground than in WWE

PodNasty podcast with Johnny Mundo
Host: Alfred Boima Konuwa III
Interview available at Youtube.com

On having more fun at Lucha Underground: “I think that’s one of the coolest thing about the Lucha environment here at Lucha Underground. Backstage, we’re like a family, but we’re all constantly trying to one-up each other, and outdo each other and put on the best show that’s humanly possible and I think that’s what’s happening. Everybody’s pushing each other, but everybody’s enjoying the experience too. I think it’s especially true with Improv, if someone’s not having fun, why watch it?”

On having more creativity: “I do feel like there’s not handcuffs here, so to speak, and creativity is more encouraged and people are more receptive to ideas here. WWE is sometimes a little bit micromanaged, and backstage everybody’s dragging their feet, walking on egg shells a little bit and here I don’t think that exists.”

On Seth Rollins’ Current Injury: “There’s nothing worse than being injured, especially for somebody like Seth because he’s an artist in the ring. To have a broken wheel like he’s got right now, has got to be killing him. I wish him a speedy recovery, because I want to kick his ass one day. And I will say that I’m sure he can talk all kinds of trash to you or whoever, as long as I’m not in the room with him. But I also think that after his interview with you—and I might have said a few things back—I don’t think he’s ever going to say anything about me again because he knows at the end of the day I’m smarter, more talented, I’ve had a much longer, better career than him and if we’re ever in the ring together it’s going to be painfully obvious how much better than him I am.”

Other topics include how Lucha Underground compares to other promotions, long-term goals, and the Boone: the Bounty Hunter film which he wrote, directed, and starred in.
