Rey Fenix recently spoke with Denise Salcedo to discuss transitioning from Mexico to the United States and how he’s helped change the perception of lucha libre.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On transitioning to wrestling in the US from Mexico: “I think I did a good job. I remember when I started my career here in [the] United States, it was a little difficult because … lucha libre was [in] another position.”

On helping to change the perception of lucha libre in America: “With time, we can see now I think every show in America has one or two luchadors. I think we did [a] good job. … Rey Mysterio, Juventud Guerrera, there are other guys [who] did an amazing job. … They opened the first door, right? But I think my brother and myself, we [broke] every window and every opening in the house.”

Alex Shelley was a recent guest on “The Ten Count” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including the worst injury that he suffered in his career. He said,

“I have a couple pretty bad ones. But I’m very fortunate to have not had anything that’s taken me out for a really, really long period of time. Six to eight weeks is minimal compared to what some people go through.”

He continued, “I cracked my skull open and I didn’t know it in the New Japan Best of the Super Juniors in 2013, and foolishly, I wrestled twice that night. So I cracked it in the first match and then wrestled again in the finals. I had some complications from that for a little bit, and I had to get a CT scan. That was a big work-up. I’m very, very lucky nothing serious came from that, but that was maybe one of the more intense injuries.”
