In an interview with The Roman Show recently, current CRASH star and former Lucha Underground star Bestia 666 discussed his time working as an extra for the WWE, what the company looks for in talents, his thoughts on Rey Mysterio and Aro Lucha, plus much more.

On his tryout with the WWE several years ago and what the company look for in talents: “”I was there, but [the WWE Superstars] were in their zone. I just did what I had to do, but I did go to the Performance Center in 2013 and I continue to work hard. I am not waiting for the WWE, but of course that is the dream. I would lie to you if I said I didn’t want to be there. WWE looks for people from other countries that can communicate. I speak English too, even though I am talking to you in Spanish. I am used to the American style. In the meantime, I will prepare, train, and be ready.”

On Rey Mysterio becoming a part-owner of the Aro Lucha promotion: “It really surprised me. He is a humbled person and this will help the lucha libre industry especially for us luchadors like Mexicans and Hispanics to have a person like Rey Mysterio to focus on lucha libre. To have a person like him have control of a promotion like that is great knowing that he knows the business. It will help him economically, but others too. He always tries to help people. I think that is what he will do. He has said that he will help the talent. He’ll help us, the Latinos.”
