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.”
