Kalisto recently appeared as a guest on the Steve Austin Show podcast for an in-depth interview. Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On Rey Mysterio offering good advice: “Eddie not only made noise to the latin community. Like, he made noise everywhere. Same with Rey. Rey, his stature, and right now, he has given me so much advice. I was even talking to him about Eddie and how I wish I could have met him and pick his brain. [Eddie] taught [Rey] so much, and he was kind of like giving me advice and I’m still picking his brain, but Eddie and Rey, man, I think they set the world on fire and they made some noise, especially in the latin community because do you know what? That inspired me to actually follow my dream.”
On advice such as the idea of coming to the ring with matracas: “Right now, he’s telling me to keep grinding. No matter what, just keep trying to make some noise and try to make people turn their heads. Like, ‘whoa, this is new. This is entertaining. This is fun.’ Alright, well, that’s exactly what I’m doing with my team Lucha House Party with Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado. And right now, we’re having fun bringing matracas, noise makers, with the piñatas. We’re just having fun, but, hey, if you want action, we’ll give you action. I’m always telling Rey, ‘so hey, what do you think of my match?’ ‘Oh, you did good. You did real good. Just keep grinding. Just keep grinding. Just keep doing you. Just keep making noise.’ So that kind of meant a lot to me because, coming from him, man, that’s pretty cool. Like, he always telling me, like, ‘man, one day, we’ll do something. One day.’ And I’m like, ‘well, that’s pretty cool.'”
