AEW Unrestricted Podcast with Fuego Del Sol
Hosts: Tony Schiavone and Aubrey Edwards
Interview available at Omny.fm
On Sammy Guevara giving him his AEW signing news: “To let him, my best friend, come out and hand me the contract and do it on one of the biggest stages it could possibly be done, on the first Rampage, was one of the greatest moments of my career.”
On being Alabama’s No. 1 Luchador: “I know it’s funny on the surface, but Fuego Del Sol, the luchador from Mobile, Alabama, Alabama’s No. 1 Luchador, is probably something that you’ve never seen before and will never see again.”
Other topics include why he thought his match on Rampage was initially his swan song for AEW, how he shared the news of his AEW contract and celebrated with his family, what it meant to snap his 40-match losing streak, making a name for himself on Sammy’s Vlog, the organic growth of his homegrown popularity, the story behind his character and mask, how he’s learned from Cody Rhodes, Ethan Page, Lance Archer, Scorpio Sky, and Brian Cage, and he reveals some of his favorite skits from Sammy’s Vlog.
Being Alabama’s #1 luchador is like having the most teeth in West Virginia.
