Joaquin Wilde discusses the chemistry between Legado Del Fantasma.
The Latino World Order, which consists of Legado Del Fantasma and Rey Mysterio, is currently one of the hottest acts in all of WWE. Despite only coming together a few weeks ago, the group is consistently one of the most well received acts on any weekly WWE television show.
Legado Del Fantasma, which consists of Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, & Cruz Del Toro, are slowly approaching the three year anniversary of their formation. In a new interview with Ryan Satin on the Out Of Character podcast, Wilde noted that it did take some time for the group to find natural chemistry together.
“Yeah, it took a little bit of time at the beginning. You know, you’re trying to find your footing, it was during the pandemic era too, so it was a little strange. There was no audience. It did take some time, it was a journey, for sure I’d say that. Eventually, we did get some natural chemistry going, there was some natural chemistry that developed. We’re all kind of in similar places in our lives too, so I think that kind of helped. We all have similar goals and a similar mindset about wrestling and that helps because when you’re in a group, if there’s like one guy that’s not on the same page, it can affect the other ones. It’s great that all three of us think similarly about wrestling, we understand what the business is. We understand what we want from the group, what the goals of the group are. We know how to co-exist with each other and I’m just thankful for that, because it doesn’t always happen in groups.”
Wilde went on to bring up an analogy that he came up with for the group.
“Yeah, the analogy that I’ve come up with for Legado Del Fantasma… we’re like the Chicago Bulls of the 90’s. Escobar is Micheal Jordan of course, Cruz is Scottie Pippen, and I’m the bad boy, I’m Dennis Rodman.”
In a separate recent interview, Santos Escobar said that he has no doubt that the Latino World Order will continue to shine in WWE. Fans can learn more here.
