Santos Escobar has spoken about the importance of Latino representation in entertainment and believes the LWO is playing an important role.
Prior to WrestleMania 39, WWE introduced its version of the WCW stable, which now consists of Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro, Zelina Vega, and Rey Mysterio.
During the latest episode of “The Bump” Escobar spoke about the significance of the group. He said,
“I told y’all it’s time. It’s time for Latinos to rise. You know what I mean? Like, politically, socially, demographically, culturally — music, movies, entertainment, everywhere. We are everywhere. And yes, we’re paying homage. Of course, we want to make [original LWO leader Eddie Guerrero] proud. Of course. But this is a whole new, different animal.”
During the interview, Escobar also spoke about honoring the original Latino World Order, which can be read here.
