Hechicero Says He’s Cleared, But Isn’t 100% Confident Coming Off Injury
On January 28, an injury was announced to Hechicero that would cause him to miss Bandido’s Entertainment “Batalla del Desierto.”
He is set to return to the ring for CMLL on Friday. Hechicero last competed on the January 21st episode of AEW Dynamite, teaming with Rocky Romero & Lance Archer against The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, & Wheeler Yuta) in a street fight.
Speaking on a CMLL Media Call, Hechicero was asked how he’s feeling coming off the injury.
“Well, obviously I am not 100% in terms of confidence, because while I’ve already been cleared by the doctor and I’m already announced for this Friday at the Arena Mexico. Regaining confidence in movement, you can train, you can rehabilitate, but once you’re in the ring, the inertia of the movements, the explosion, the improvisation, the reflexes are exposed, and well, it’s the confidence you have to take.
“It was a difficult two weeks. I don’t like to pause. When I tore part of my bicep during the 91st Anniversary mask match, I didn’t pause. Obviously, I was always under medical supervision, and the condition was that I didn’t limit myself or my colleagues in terms of work intensity or movements, and well, the condition is the same. I’m ready to return, and I reiterate, I take advantage of your cameras and microphones to reiterate my apology to the cities, the arenas, the promoters, and the fans with whom I was unable to fulfill my commitments, but I hope to be reconsidered soon to visit you and be with all of you.”
Fightful will have results from CMLL on Friday.
