Sammy Guevara Comments on Making His Arena Mexico Debut

AEW and ROH wrestler Sammy Guevara recently got to cross over into CMLL and made his Arena Mexico debut earlier this month. During his latest vlog, Guevara spoke about the experience of getting to wrestle at the iconic venue.

Guevara stated, “Here we are inside Arena, Mexico. Got the entrance. We got the ring. Huge arena. It’ll be filled up with like 15,000 people today. It’s crazy. The first time I came to Mexico City was like in 2016, almost 10 years ago, in October. It’ll be 10 years. And the guy who brought me to Mexico City, he took me on a tour, and he showed me Arena Mexico. And he told me that only people who work for CMLL can do Arena Mexico. And I didn’t work for them at the time. So I was like, ‘Oh, I guess well, I can’t do it.’ But here we are. Arena Mexico, baby. Sick.” Guevara added, “Another little bucket list item for me.”

Later in the vlog, Guevara added, “Arena Mexico was uh it was really fun, man. Anytime you get to wrestle in Mexico, the crowds are very different from they are in the US. And in this trip, I got to experience both. I wrestled in Mexico, then US, then back in Mexico, and it was fun. But I will end this with a quote that I heard.”

He continued, “I haven’t done one of these quotes, my quote of the week. Um, but I saw this one, and I thought it was great because for a lot of people, I think we’re always impatient and trying to get things quicker. But, uh, the quote went like this. I hope I don’t **** it up. The compass was invented before the clock because direction is more important than time. So if you are not where you want to be, but you are on the right path towards that, it’s just a matter of time till you get there. So be patient with yourself and uh just keep working, and eventually you’ll get to where you want [music] to get to. And I know one day I’m going to get to where I want to get to.”

As noted, Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos also recently defended the ROH World Tag Team Titles in CMLL. They beat Los Villanos to retain the belts at last night’s CMLL Viernes Espectacular, which was also held at Arena Mexico. You can check out Guevara’s latest vlog below.
