Marty The Moth Says Lucha Underground Stands Alone In Today’s Wrestling

In an interview with SportsKeeda, Marty the Moth spoke about becoming Lucha Underground champion, how he views the promotion compared to others and more. Here are highlights:

On Chelsea Green: “Chelsea is amazing to work with. She’s an amazing wrestler. She’s obviously beautiful. She’s obviously quite helpful in winning championships. (Laughs). I’m very excited to work with her. But look at the situation the champ is in right now. I have the beautiful Mariposa to my left. I’ve the beautiful Chelsea Green to my right. I have two bodyguards that happen to be awesome looking.”

On how he views Lucha Underground: “I think Lucha Underground stands alone, because what other wrestling promotion has time travel? What other promotion has a guy who came back from the dead? We have a show with an element of the supernatural that no other wrestling show has. We’re a TV show with supernatural elements that happens to be about a wrestling promotion.”

On coming up with his character: “They tell you when you have any sort of line in a movie, you need to create the entire backstory for your character. So Lucha Underground came up to me and said you’re going to be Marty The Moth. You’re kind of a big kid from the Moth Tribe, but you’re not all there. So, I created a backstory for myself. I did a lot of research into serial killers.”

On how things will change now that he’s champion: “The fun is about to begin. That’s the way I can put it. It came out of nowhere. No one expected it. It only gets better from here. There are a lot of twists and turns with the five or six episodes we have left. You have the crazy man running the asylum. You have him guarded by two beautiful women. Marty The Moth is sitting pretty and Lucha Underground better be ready for anything.”
