We talk about how Lucha Libre gave Striker hope of becoming a wrestler, and how he thinks LU will be woven into the history of Los Angeles. He also gives his unique insight into Vampiro, The Temple, and more.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Anish: Alright ladies and gentlemen, I\u2019m here at Lucha Underground and in my opinion, the best commentary duo on the air right now is Matt Striker and Vampiro. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, Matt Striker.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: Thank you, I know you really wanted Vampiro but you got me instead so you set the bar pretty low (laughs).<\/p>\n<p>Anish: No no, we appreciate anything that any of you guys can do and to have you do what you do for wrestling and for Lucha Underground. So my first question to you is, you\u2019ve been with Lucha Underground from the start, from Episode 1 all the way to now, Season 4. What first drew you to Lucha Underground?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: I was always taught to take every opportunity that you get. I received a phone call on a Thursday night and was asked, \u201cHey would you be interested in this?\u201d And before I could say yes, Friday morning I was on a flight from JFK New York all the way out here to LAX I saw some old friends that I knew from my time in WWE. They explained to me the concept, I\u2019ve always been a big fan of Lucha Libre and I thought let\u2019s bring Lucha Libre to mainstream America. So anything I could do to be a part of it I was excited.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: You just talked about being a fan of Lucha Libre for a long time, how did Lucha Libre influence you when you were growing up?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: That\u2019s a great question. When I wanted to get into wrestling, I looked around and everyone around me was six foot nine and 330 pounds, but when I watched Lucha Libre, I was able to relate more to the athletes. \u2018Cause they were normal sized human beings, doing extraordinary things. So Lucha Libre inspired a young kid in New York, to say \u201cI can do this.\u201d But say if I had looked at a Hulk Hogan or a Big Boss Man, maybe I would\u2019ve been discouraged.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: Because that\u2019s not you, and you found something that was you in Lucha Libre?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: Yeah, I think it\u2019s important that people see in all forms of entertainment and pop culture, you really need to have characters that normal people can relate to.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-3756292121\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Anish: Yeah, that makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: There needs to be that connection, otherwise there won\u2019t be an emotional investment.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: Speaking of characters that people can relate to, you of course were \u2018The Professor\u2019 in WWE for a while, so I just want to get it out the way because I know people are going to be thinking this. Is there ever a chance that we will see The Professor come back in Lucha Underground?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: Never say never.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: Never say never, okay. So what is it about The Temple and the fans, the believers, that make this place special? I know it\u2019s a different location for Season 4, and we call this the \u2018Ice Temple\u2019 right?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: Right!<\/p>\n<p>Anish: So what is it about the fans, that makes these Temples so special?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: I think it\u2019s the location as well as the fans. Like any story, it\u2019s gonna be your setting, it\u2019s gonna be your characters. The temple has become a character in and of itself. We\u2019ve speculated as to the special Aztec powers that may lie in the walls of the temple\u2026 but the believers, the fans that are here at all the live shows as well as around the world; they are the pulse. They make us go, anyone that\u2019s ever run a few miles, they feel their heartbeat going faster, those are the believers. The heartbeat of what we do! As they go, we go. I think they\u2019re a great barometer to the energy that the fighters are putting in every night.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: And quick question, what\u2019s your favorite chant that the believers do here?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: Oh (laughs), I like one word, that I had to ask what it meant in Spanish. I asked the uh, there\u2019s an older lady that does some stuff her, and I said \u201cExcuse me, what does Culero mean?\u201d And she went to slap me in the face, so that\u2019s my first favorite one.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-1971696851\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Anish: (Laughs) Oh, wow, okay, I love that chant as well.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: The other is the song that they sing; \u201cOle, Ole, Ole, Ole, Lucha\u2026Lucha!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anish: Ah yeah that\u2019s the Lucha anthem.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: Because, it\u2019s everyone in unison. I look around the crowd, it\u2019s children, it\u2019s adults, it\u2019s men, it\u2019s women. It\u2019s people of varying race, creed, sexuality, but they\u2019re all joined in song.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: Which is Lucha.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: I think that embodies what we\u2019re doing here.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: So you\u2019ve had a lot of great commentary moments, and one of my personal favorites is you calling the Trios Title victory of Angelico, Son of Havoc, and Ivelisse. What was your personal favorite moment in the temple, that you\u2019ve called?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: Ah-hah. I guess the next one, I have to keep that enthusiasm. But there have been a lot of emotional moments. I think The Mack\u2019s story, I connect with on a personal level. I do recall, there was a moment I got legitimately choked up because I was so invested in the athlete and the story.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: And that\u2019s the thing, we get people of all sorts wrestling and watching here at Lucha Underground. That\u2019s what wrestling\u2019s all about. So just a quick question about sports in general, what\u2019s your favorite sports team?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: I\u2019m a huge baseball fan, I grew up a St. Louis Cardinals fan, but I do have to say with the moves the Angels made this year. I\u2019m picking up a lot of those guys in fantasy baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: Alright, and who do you want to see that\u2019s not in Lucha Underground come here for you to call their matches.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: Oh, (laughs), that\u2019s a loaded question\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Anish: It is.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: So many guys are constantly under contract and things like that. There\u2019s a lot of new, fresh young stars. There\u2019s actually a guy out of New York called Mike Orlando that I don\u2019t think a lot of people have heard of. I think he\u2019s a guy that people should see, off the top of my head.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: That\u2019s awesome, and where do you see Lucha Underground in ten years? Right now, it\u2019s only the beginnings in Los Angeles, it\u2019s only Season 4 and only right now are mainstream media outlets trying to cover Lucha Underground. So, what do you think it\u2019ll be like in ten years? Will Lucha Underground be up there with WWE? Will it be up there with New Japan and Ring of Honor?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: Well, my grandmother used to say if you want to hear God laugh, you tell him your plans. Nobody knows the future, but what I do feel believe and I\u2019m comfortable in saying is that I do think that Lucha Underground will be woven into the fabric of Los Angeles sports and wrestling. We\u2019re gonna see it as time moves on, we\u2019ll look back, hindsight\u2019s always twenty-twenty. Now we\u2019ll say, I can see the influence of Lucha Underground there, oh I can see Vampiro\u2019s fingerprints on something like that.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: I see.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: So I think it\u2019s gonna create a foundation for things to come.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: And how\u2019s it like working for Vampiro? Because he\u2019s a legend of this business, and we didn\u2019t really know what he could do commentary wise until he came on Lucha Underground. You two have been such a perfect pairing, so what\u2019s it been like working with Vampiro?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: I think the moment that I realized that he\u2019s insane. People may laugh at me, but I do believe there is a lot of supernatural, spiritual things happening on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: Especially in this temple.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: I don\u2019t think we\u2019re the only people here, so I do think that Vampiro has some cosmic space dust, along with some other things floating around through his blood. He\u2019s a unique individual to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>Anish: Alright, and just one last question, what do you think\u2019s going to go down tonight on Lucha Underground? Just any guesses at all?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: My favorite approach to coming to work, is I don\u2019t wanna know anything until it happens. So your guess is as good as mine, and we all have to tune in to watch!<\/p>\n<p>Anish: And finally, can you tell people where they can watch Lucha Underground?<\/p>\n<p>Matt Striker: Yes of course, you can watch it on the El Rey Network, you can catch Lucha Underground on Netflix, and also if you are on the interwebs, I\u2019m sure there\u2019s plenty of places you can steal it, but you didn\u2019t hear that from me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: solid 1px #dedede;\" src=\"https:\/\/app.stitcher.com\/splayer\/f\/180116\/55599385\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2778453304\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Anish Vishwakoti, Prowrestling.net Staffer,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2246,7,2,27],"tags":[148,290,445],"class_list":["post-43785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-anish-vishwakoti","category-misc_news","category-newsticker","category-viewpoints","tag-lucha-underground","tag-matt-striker","tag-vampiro"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
