Former WWE star Ezekiel Jackson, who will be appearing on the new Lucha Underground show premiering this week, recently did an interview with Gary Mehaffy, and the following some interview highlights:

Getting involved with Lucha Underground:

“I don’t know if he wants me to say his name, but one of the former head writers in WWE is there also. He called me in June, I think, and said “I would really like you to come and be a part of this.” It was something I was just waiting for over the summer. It was based out of L.A., which means I could drive to and from (the tapings). They’re focused more on the television aspect of it so we don’t have to travel to different cities to perform. That made it a lot more enticing for me.”

Who to look out for in Lucha Underground:

“The stuff Fenix and Drago can (do). Ricochet – Prince Puma – John Morrison. If you remember John Morrison from the WWE – the stuff that he did there and now he’s got people that will be able to match him. It’s ridiculous. My wife walked away from the first night and she said to Morrison – Johnny Mundo – and to Prince Puma and she said “I’ve never sat and enjoyed a match as much as yours.”
