The lot of boxes that you have to check to become a WWE Superstar as a Mexican Luchador You already do it. You know the character development, telling a story. How you portray and who you present a product is a lot of what we do. Some people call it different industries or different worlds or different psychology or whatever but in my mind it was not hard because I already knew how to present myself for example.”
