Daniel Garcia didn't intend to dance like this.
Daniel Garcia was already great professional wrestler when he joined the Jericho Appreciation Society, but under the learning tree of Chris Jericho, he became a great sports entertainer.
Garcia developed a hip thrust dance, that has taken on a life of its own as Garcia dances his way in and out of trouble.
"I never really intended for the dance to become a thing as much as it has in the ring. It was just something me, Isiah [Isiah Kassidy aka Brother Zay], and Cheesecake would do when we go out. Just a little dance move, a little Latin dance move. I love Latin music. Isiah and Cheesecake can't stand it. I listen to it too much. I would just do it when we would go out. I think we were in El Paso for the first time, big Latin community, I had a match with Ricky Starks and I was like, "I'm going to get this crowd into it right now.' I started busting out the dance and the crowd started coming up for it. 'That was cool, maybe it's something I'll throw in the heat every once in a while, just as a little taunt.' Then, by the time Forbidden Door, it took on a life of its own," recalled Garcia on the Extreme Life of Matt Hardy with Matt Hardy.
Though the Jericho Appreciation Society is no more, Garcia is still aligned with 2point0 (Matt Menard & Angelo Parker) and Anna Jay.
Elsewhere during the interview, Garcia discussed Jericho needing him for the JAS. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
