According to Escobar, Mysterio said, “We need something that elevates the LWO and pays respect and homage to who we need to do it. I believe that’s – as opposed to having us imitate him every step of the way, which I feel would not be the right move, we have that [instead]. It’s sort of like him saying, ‘It’s my people! I’ll leave you to decide if they’re good enough.’ That’s it! Viva la Raza.”
