In a recent interview with the V2 Wrestling Podcast, former TNA Wrestling Star Hernandez saidВ that he has signed a deal with Lucha Underground. Hernandez also talks aboutВ his departure from TNA, his main issues with the company and if he would be interested in a possible return.
Highlights of the interview:
On finding out about his TNA release: "The only way I know that I'm not on the show no more is that I don't get a check no more. The last time I got a call from TNA was the end of November 2013, my contract ended May 12th, 2014 which is awkward because I thought it was the 14th of May. I woke up on the 12th and it was all over social media, IMPACT Wrestling unfollowed me on Twitter. I texted Dixie Carter the day after my contract expired saying "thanks for the eight years", I'm still waiting for a response, it is the most bush-league thing I've ever heard of."
On the biggest issues with the company during his time there: "As long as the Carter's have the billions of dollars, that company will never go away, I just think the infrastructure just needs, you know, how you snake a toilet? They have Jeff Hardy, you had Sting, Kurt Angle and the best up and coming talent like Austin Aries, Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, all these guys that could do anything and you let every former WWE employee that served coffee to Vince McMahon try to be the boss time after time after time."
On whether he's interested in returning to the company: "Of course not, you wrestle somewhere eight years, you do every stupid semi-racist vignette, I know how a Mexican looks, acts and talks, I don't need a 50 year old white man telling me I'm not being Mexican enough. At the beginning of Mexican America, I was doing all the talking, but because I wasn't saying essa and oralé, I magically became the non-speaker. I told them I wouldn't talk like that because I live in Houston and I'm not going to get my a** kicked because I'm making fun of my own people."
