"That's gonna live forever" - Former WWE manager is a big fan of AEW's Sammy Guevara, comments on brutal cage match spot (Exclusive)
Former WWE manager Ricardo Rodriguez is a huge fan of AEW star Sammy Guevara. He recently expressed his awe at the latter's recent brutal spot in the Blood and Guts last month.
Guevara is one of AEW's rising stars and a member of the Jericho Appreciation Society. He is among the only two stars to capture the TNT Championship on three occasions in the promotion. The Spanish God was recently embroiled in a heated feud with Scorpio Sky before siding with his new faction during Road Rager 2022.
During his exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Rodriguez had nothing but praise for Guevara. The former WWE manager further highlighted that he shared some pointers with The Spanish God during the Pro Wrestling Organization event in Egypt.
"When we were just talking in Egypt, I realized he's a smart kid, he's a very smart kid and the only weird advice that I really said to him was like 'take advantage of the agents that they have in AEW because they have such amazing minds.' I hope he does, I believe he is smart enough to do so." [From 11:54 - 12:16]
Rodriguez then expressed his astonishment at some of Guevara's most dangerous spots against Eddie Kingston and Cody Rhodes.
"That dive off of the.... well the dive.... when he got thrown over by Eddie Kingston was brutal and obviously that cutter with Cody [Rhodes] on the ladder, that's gonna live forever." [From 12:32 - 12:41]
