Gringo Loco comments on potentially signing with AEW/ROH.
Gringo Loco is one of the top stars on the independent scene. He has competed for GCW, DEFY, and various other promotions. In recent months, he has regularly wrestled for ROH. He also competed on AEW Rampage in September 2023.
Speaking with SO CATCH by Hal 2, Gringo Loco was asked whether fans can expect to see him sign with ROH.
“So according to the internet, I’ve already signed a deal. If you listen to the dirt sheets, I’m a signed wrestler making the big bucks. I think we just have to see where that goes in the future. That night that I debuted for Ring of Honor was a very magical night, it was straight out of a movie. I think that, I mean, getting that picture with Tony Khan raising my hand, everybody in that locker room was like, ‘That does not happen often. You should cherish that.’ So I think that Tony Khan likes me. I think just he’s waiting on the right moment to tell me or to offer me a deal. I think that when that day comes, I’m gonna have a decision to make because that’s big leap into a big company with a lot of elite wrestlers, if you will. So I think that I am at their level. I just have to mentally accept that I’m gonna be All Elite or Ring of Honor, and just kind of go for it, which is what I’ve done my entire career. So we’ll just have to wait and cross that bridge until it happens," Gringo Loco said.
When asked whether signing with ROH is something that he would like, Gringo Loco stated that he thought so. He explained how it was special to be in the same locker room with the talented roster. Gringo also noted that he knew most of the roster, and everyone had been friendly and welcoming. He repeated that it was just a matter of waiting.
“I think so. I think any of us would want to be a part of the talent pool that is Ring of Honor or AEW. Just walking around backstage the couple of times I had the opportunity to, pretty amazing that I’m in that stable, and multiple times, not just one date. They brought me down for five dates, and everybody is so friendly, so accepting. I knew about 85-to-90 percent of the roster throughout different chapters of my career, and they’re just so happy to see me there. Tony seems to like me. It seems like the stars are aligning. We just have to wait," Gringo Loco said.
Gringo Loco previously stated that he felt like he has over-delivered in AEW, and he called his work there some of his best. Check out his comments here.
