Cardona To Waltman: ‘Suck It’, AEW Releases First Owen Hart Shirt, SmackDown Preview | Fight Size
Here is your fight size update for Friday, February 25, 2022:
– Matt Cardona, speaking to Colin Tessier of Wrestlezone, hyped his upcoming tag match against Joey Janela and X-Pac. Among other things, he said he had two words for Waltman, suck it.
“This comeback is not gonna last long. I understand you know, for once in his life, he decided to eat his protein and go to the gym. That’s great, he looks great. And he is an absolute legend, but the Attitude Era is over. It’s over, Sean. It’s not time for a comeback. It’s time for you to go away. Do your own podcast, I don’t know. Go get a job and run NXT or something, I don’t know. Do something because getting in the ring with me and Brian Myers, we are in the middle of our peak, you know, our prime.
“And to mess with Joey Janela again, I thought I was done with this guy, I thought I put him out of his misery. I thought I was done with his shenanigans. And now the team of Joey and Sean Waltman, I mean, listen. We can’t even call him Sean Waltman. I don’t know how GCW’s getting away with those graphics. Because WWE owns that, that’s WWE IP, I know that, firsthand. So Sean Waltman, if you’re listening, I got two words for you: suck it. Because we’re gonna be finished with you, and I’m gonna get on that red-eye and getting the f— out of GCW.”

“[Masked Republic] gave me one of my first big breaks when I did their pilot for Viva La Lucha in Tijuana, Mexico. I’ve stayed in touch and never lost track with Kevin [Kleinrock, Masked Republic co-founder]. Right away we hit it off and he understood that here’s an American Luchador that can connect with the audience and build that bridge [from Lucha Libre to the American audience] and vice versa. It’s not just about the in-ring talent, you’ve got to be the total package. I call it the ‘Lex Luger’ effect. You’ve got to be a brand, hitting social media, not just desired in-ring, you have to be desired outside of the ring as well. It’s just not enough right now to have our guys just go out there and perform,” Dorado said. “No, we want guys on the red carpet, doing media, we want guys producing kids shows and all of that. I’ve got the mindset for that, whether it’s wrestling, video, music, all of that, I get it and they get it too.
“We communicate literally every day on ideas, whether it’s audio, books, metaverse stuff that we’ll introduce later, you talked about the NFTs. It’s just about getting more eyes on the product of Lucha Libre. Not so much on the Masked Republic brand, not so much Lince Dorado, but we are going to be the catalyst for this drive moving forward for the Lucha Libre brand in the American scene. Hopefully it goes super global. It is global now, but it could be — with the right people, me, Masked Republic and some other guys — with the right mindset, I think we could definitely put a rocket on Lucha Libre and blow it up,” Dorado said. “It’s our mission, our idea to spread Lucha Libre more and more, where everything is Lucha. That was my campaign in WWE, I wanted everything to be Lucha — Lucha underwear, Lucha snacks, everything Lucha. Now we’re going to bring that brand to the mainstream.”
