Former AEW Star Fuego Del Sol appeared on Busted Open Radio to talk about a variety of topics such as how he is open to returning to the company, going down to Orlando in NXT or doing something in IMPACT Wrestling or the Indies.
Fuego Del Sol said:
“If you thought the rise and the grind to get one contract was special, just wait until you see me do it again. So whoever, whatever the option is, you know, whether it's going down to Orlando in NXT, getting a try out and going there, I'm open to that. Whether the door opens up again in AEW, I'm open to that, and I would be remiss if I hadn't talked to some guys at Impact, maybe doing something there soon, as well as the big Indies.”
“You know, I got some stuff planned at a couple big things coming up that I don't want to spoil for them. I'll let them announce the date soon enough. But I'm thinking months ahead now in a way that I didn't before. I have some unique, very different stories that I am looking to tell over the next few months and I cannot wait for people to see what I got cooking to show my versatility, to show the different things I can do not only in the ring, but with a microphone. I am itching to get back to where everyone can see me on a grander scale.”
Fuego Del Sol also talked about if he was given an opportunity to pitch storylines while he was still in AEW.
Fuego Del Sol said:
“In a way, yes. You know, AEW has a lot of guys right now. I know management is already on their toes constantly trying to balance the three different shows that they have and I try to respect that and also understand that because a lot of wrestlers are all about me, me, me, me, me, you know, and what's next for I. In some ways, you have to be that way to get ahead, but also understanding how you can pick your spots and fit in in certain places is huge. I felt like that's one thing I did understand.”
“You've heard the saying that some guys just want to, 'Hey, I want to win the belt and this is how I do it', and they have no deeper story to tell. I feel like with my versatility, I could have done a lot of different things. I did pitch to management a little bit, 'Hey, maybe do something in a tag team over here. Maybe we will go in this direction. I'm very confident in my speaking ability. Maybe I can become a mouthpiece for this guy.' There's definitely things that I pitched, almost maybe too much. I try to be a sniper with my words and pick my spots, but I'm extremely ambitious.”
“I would wait outside of offices trying to be patient and wait my turn. I would send text messages at the appropriate times trying to hear something back, and almost, maybe even to my own detriment, maybe I was a little annoying with how bad I wanted it and how ambitious I was, but if anything, I feel like that is the hardest avenue to manage right now in AEW is how do you pitch your stories? Where do you fit in? What is the best system to get your ideas where you want them to be?”
