Lucha libre star Máscara Dorada spoke with Pep Shop Collectibles on a number of topics, including how it feels to represent CMLL in AEW.
Dorada said, “I think that as a company, I hadn’t been in an American company. I think it’s a great company. I’m impressed with all the production there is, he’s one of the things that impressed me the most. Arriving and seeing that you’re literally in a great show, it’s very motivating. Of course, it fills you with pride, knowing that you’re doing something right, and I think it’s a very good company that has been doing things very well. It has done great events, it did an event here in London that was packed. It fills me with pride knowing that they consider me, and what better than to go representing the best wrestling company in Mexico, which is CMLL. Wherever I go, I carry the CMLL flag high. So I’m glad to be one of the first to set foot in AEW, so I feel very lucky and grateful for the opportunity.”
On the fake match graphic that had him facing Konosuke Takeshita:
“It is a great match. I think that if they had shown it to me, I saw it and said that it would be interesting to me too. He is a tank wrestler, he’s a monster that, with my skill and my agility, I can take advantage of him. But more than anything, he’s interesting. He’s a great fighter. I’ve also seen him wrestle, and he’s a monster.”
