The latest episode of Chris Van Vliet’s “Insight” podcast featured WWE RAW star Dragon Lee. During the chat, Lee was asked what his goals on the main roster are. He said,
“I would like to be Intercontinental champion; that’s my goal. I want to be champion. Something that I would love to do is be tag team champion with Rey Mysterio. I hope we can have an opportunity, because I feel like I have a great connection with Rey, and I think we can do so good as a team. That’s what I think, and you know, another chance at the Royal Rumble and at WrestleMania, that’s the dream. Now I know how that feels, and nobody can tell me how it feels. I feel so great, and I want to have that experience again. It’s great, man.”
WWE Star Dragon Lee Reveals Why He Became A Pro Wrestler
During the same podcast, the former WWE World Tag Team Champion opened up about why he became a pro wrestler. Dragon Lee said,
“I just did wrestling because I wanted the attention from my father. When I was five years old my dad and my mom separated. Now as a father, I can understand how he was in that time, but I was a child. I just needed the attention from my father, and he was more focused on my brothers, Rush and Dralístico. I just wanted to have the attention when he was training them. I was like I want to do this. When I was 12 I started training more, I started doing kung fu, Olympic wrestling, boxing, because my father wanted to be prepared, because a wrestler has to be prepared.”
“We had to have all the bases. I start feeling the wrestling and I start feeling passionate, I know what wrestling is. I did the old school: you have to have strong Olympic everything, and then you will learn what pro wrestling is. It was tough. So many times I really cried, really tough training, but I’m so proud now, because I would say in that time, my father, he was tough, he was very rude, but he was my coach in that time, not my father. We lived together, and he was like, 8 am, who has to be in the ring. He just set his alarm, he never woke me up, just left.”
