El Hijo del Vikingo Comments on His Goal for a Dream Match with Kenny Omega Potentially in AEW

Denise Salcedo held a recent interview with Lucha Libre AAA talent El Hijo del Vikingo. One of the topics discussed included Vikingo’s thoughts on his current goal of wanting to have a dream match against Kenny Omega. Vikingo also stated that he is open to this potential match taking place in the United States and in AEW.

“The third time’s the charm. It’s now been two occasions that Kenny Omega and I were gonna wrestle, but for this and that, it wasn’t able to happen, but now I have the Visa. So if he doesn’t come (to Mexico), then I will go look for him. Expect some big surprises. Why not have ‘El Gran Jinete’ go and look for him in his own house? Anything can happen. My home, AAA, is always giving surprises. I don’t know, maybe in the future, I will go to his house, or him in ours, or somewhere in the middle. Anything can happen.”

Ethan Page Comments on Working as a Producer in AEW & Wanting to Do Commentary Work

Fightful held a recent interview with Ethan Page. One of the topics discussed included Page’s thoughts about his recent work as a producer in AEW and his goal of wanting to do more commentary on AEW shows.

“No. I’m sorry to the viewers, anyone that enjoys my in-ring work. It’s not a lot of you, but the ones that do, it’s not gonna happen for a very long time. Enjoy it while it’s here. I’ve been pushing more to do more commentary with AEW. I have produced one match. It was very much a happenstance, fell in my lap kind of thing. But I loved every second of it. I loved having the headset on.
For real, though, I love being able to help guys piece a match together and be able to toss ideas around and to see them get excited for stuff that was being pitched. I always want my own stuff to be good, but I want AEW to do well so I’m going to give my best if I’m ever asked to put a match together or produce.”

Page also gave his thoughts on his Vlog helping him pull more fans into the world of professional wrestling.

“Dude, on a personal level, for someone to say I inspired them or motivated them or helped them through a difficult time, especially like the pandemic, it means the world to me. My favorite comments though are, ‘I had no idea you were a wrestler,’ ‘I found AEW because I watched the toy videos.’ Those are literally my favorites because my least favorite thing is, ‘There’s no such thing as casual fans any more.’ Yeah. There is. For 100% is. They didn’t know I was a wrestler, they catch the toy vlogs and I’m bringing them from a completely different world. I’m drawing a different audience than people that already watch wrestling. Which makes me very happy.”
