WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff took to an episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how he loves the WWE’s version of the LWO faction, which consists of fellow WWE Hall of Famer and United States Champion Rey Mysterio, Zelina Vega, Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro.
Bischoff said, “I love it. I mean, the Latino World Order started in WCW, and it got a little bit of attention. We spent a little bit of time on it, not pushing it as hard as we could have, obviously, but to see it kind of. Manifest is currently 20-odd years later in WWE. I can’t help but, you know, pat myself on the back a little bit for that. But seeing the fresh coat of paint or fresh paint of coat or whatever it is is awesome. Awesome. And it makes sense. It fits. You know, it’s very, very cool. You know, Carlito is a great guy. A great performer. Again, another story and the guy’s been around for a minute. He was in WWE when I was there as a talent. Yeah, 20 years ago. And to see him look as great as he looks and still be able to go out there, perform and now get an opportunity at the level he’s getting that opportunity at. To see Rey Mysterio in a perfect role for Rey at this point in his career. This is a perfect role for Rey and everything else that’s being built around it. It’s aside from the fact that I’m a little bit proud. Just a little bit. I think it’s great, great character work and great story potential.”
