News

kalistonewuschampionPlaneta Wrestling and Mundo Deportivo recently interviewed WWE US champion Kalisto. Below are some more highlights from the interview (translation viaWrestlingInc.com).

Kalisto on Alberto Del Rio: “First of all, we are enemies. He is a gladiator and a very good teacher. He is also a good guy outside the ring, but we are enemies. Rey Mysterio helped him a lot and he is really helping me and I appreciate it. But also Sin Cara was the one helping me down there in NXT and that’s why we created the Lucha Dragons and we are still the Lucha Dragons, because he helps me a lot either in the ring or out of the ring. I really thank all of them. There will never be another Rey Mysterio, there will never be another Alberto del Rio and there will never be another Sin Cara.”

Kalisto on how the Lucha Dragons are still together: “We are still together. The New Day is also wrestling on one on one matches from time to time and it’s OK for them. I think we are going to do the same, but my dream would be become WWE Tag Team Champion with Sin Cara and, at the same time, been the US Champion.”

Kalisto on being considered Rey Mysterio’s successor: “I have so much respect for him, but we are different. We both have our own styles. I admire everything he accomplished, specially his rivalry with Eddie Guerrero. There will never be another Eddie Guerrero and that makes it even more special, and there will never be another Rey Mysterio as I said before. We have different set of movements and they are beautiful all of them.”
