El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr. Says He’s The Happiest Wrestler In The World After Dragon Lee Match On WWE Raw
El Hijo de Dr Wagner Jr. got to compete against his top wrestler in the world.
After making various appearances for NXT, Wagner Jr. got to make his main roster debut when he wrestled Carmelo Hayes on the March 6 episode of SmackDown. Then, just a few months later, the sixteen year veteran went to Raw and wrestled Dragon Lee in the first round of a tournament to crown a new number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship.
Speaking with Denise Salcedo for a new interview, Wagner spoke about the importance of his bout with Dragon Lee.
“I try to say everything about what happened in WWE, I did NXT, my official debut. I did NXT live shows. I did my first NXT PLE Halloween Havoc, then with Carmelo on SmackDown. The most important match for me, I did with Dragon Lee. For me, he’s my top wrestler in the world. We’ve been in Japan for many years, but we never had a match. We came here to WWE and we did it. For me, I’m the most happy wrestler in the world. It’s a new experience obviously because it’s a different kind of things like lucha libre and wrestling. The atmosphere in Raw and SmackDown, I need to say the truth, I feel exhausted from the pressure about cameras and who is behind the curtain. But for me, it’s an amazing experience. I really did the best of me and I’m happy because we’re here and TripleMania is coming, many many surprises.”
Continuing on, Wagner recalled that particular match and how the fans started to believe in him as the match progressed.
“It was good, when my entrance music started, the people [were] like, ‘Who is this guy?’ But, when the time advanced and the match started, the people started to believe in me because first, I had the most beautiful mask in the world. So, the people say, ‘Oh, this guy is maybe like Dragon Lee.’ But, everybody knows Dragon Lee. So, my worth is the people started to believe in my song, in my moves, in my mask, in my legacy because I am part of one of the most important legacies in Mexico. So, I want the people to know that. For me, it’s really important. But, it was good. We were in Buffalo, New York, it’s really really far from Mexico but the people in my mind, they accepted my character.”
