Bandido Discusses the Importance of Arena Mexico for Luchadores

AEW wrestler Bandido spoke about the impact of competing at Arena Mexico during an interview on Close Up with Renee Paquette, recorded prior to AEW Grand Slam: Mexico. He emphasized that participating in matches at this historic venue is essential for any wrestler to be considered a 'real luchador.'

Bandido recounted his journey into wrestling, revealing that his father initially opposed his ambitions, challenging him to complete 10 push-ups, which he could not do. After his father moved to the United States for work, Bandido took the opportunity to train secretly at a local gym, where he discovered his talent for wrestling.

At AEW Grand Slam: Mexico, Bandido teamed up with Brody King and Hangman Adam Page to win the AEW World Trios Championship, marking a significant achievement in his wrestling career.
