Luchasaurus On How He Uses His Degree To Tell Stories As A Wrestler
In an interview with CSUN Today, Luchasaurus, who has a legitimate bachelor’s and master’s degree in medieval history from California State University Northridge, spoke about how he uses his academic knowledge to improve his performances in the ring and tell better stories.
He said: “It’s all connected. I learned a different way of approaching a topic and an argument [and found] new ways of using my brain that I didn’t have before [studying] history. We learn how to write history, how to interpret things without truth. And wrestling is the ultimate thing that has no truth because it’s performance, and it’s half-pretending and half-real. There’s a lot of analyzing of the character you’re doing — how to perform in front of a crowd and get them to react to things a certain way. What you’re doing is almost telling a story like a historian tells a story. There’s a lot of correlation in the way you can approach it from that analytical point of view.“
