Lucha libre legend Atlantis Sr. spoke with Fightful’s Luis Pulido on a number of topics, including the evolution of CMLL’s in-ring product.
Atlantis Sr. said, “From when I started until now, lucha libre has been changed until now. From the mask to the moves we make on the ring; there is more production, more tecnology, social media but nowadays it´s very dangerous and sometimes they do not measure the risk.”
On a possible tag team title run with his son Atlantis Jr.:
“Of course is a goal that we have in mind, we will look for an opportunity in Mexico or the rest of the world. It would be a dream come true to have a championship with my son.”
On if he’s considered being a full-time rudo (heel):
“I am one hundred percent baby face (técnico) and I don’t plan to be a rudo. I want to be a super héro for all the kids, and I want to be an example for them.”
(H/T to Fightful for transcribing the above quotes)
