Sammy Guevara talks about how being a father has changed his perspective on big spots.
Since his daughter was born in late 2023, something that has been a big topic of conversation for Guevara has been the toning down of his in ring style since becoming a father.
While speaking to Denise Salcedo in a new interview, Sammy spoke about how being a father has calmed him down in the ring.
"Man, it's been a blast. It's funny, I did an interview with Chris Van Vliet. I said this earlier. You know, now I'm going to start being not as crazy, and then every match that followed was me jumping off a ladder or going through tables. But I'm trying to be smarter with it all, like pick my spots. You know, it's wrestling, so it's not the safest sport in general. But knowing when to go and risk and when not to, because for the longest time, especially in the early days of AEW, any time I'm on, it's 100%, give 110, and, you know, shoot for the moon, and if you miss... you know, whatever's going to happen, like caution to the wind in a lot of ways. But now, we're at a different level now and we got other people that need me, not just myself. So I think my daughter would like me in one piece when I go home. So, you know, it's a fine line of like trying to risk it to like get to something great. But then at the same time, knowing when that risk is worth it."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Sammy spoke about having Tay Melo back in AEW. You can read more about that here.
