In a recent conversation with Under the Ring, Konnan effusively praised the remarkable abilities of El Hijo del Vikingo. Here are the notable excerpts from the discussion:
Reflecting on the qualities that have propelled talents like Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero to fame, Konnan stated,
“The same thing that made guys like Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero, who I had the privilege of working with and bringing to AAA -– these guys are guys that are very creative.”
When discussing Vikingo’s uniqueness in today’s wrestling landscape, Konnan explained,
“Today it almost seems like it’s copy-paste… invariably, a lot of matches look the same. What sets Vikingo apart is he invents stuff, he creates stuff like Rey Mysterio did and Psicosis did, that nobody else is doing and nobody else has thought of. You don’t see anybody else doing it but him, and that really sets him apart from everybody else. There’s always one or two or three guys that are a cut above the rest, and as far as creativity and excitement and just being different, Vikingo checks off all those boxes.”
