Atlantis Jr. Says He Liked Working As A Rudo (Heel), But Prefers To Be A Good Guy And A Model For The Kids

Atlantis Jr. prefers to be a technico.

CMLL is currently led by a strong group of technicos (babyfaces) that includes stars like Mistico, Mascara Dorada, Volador Jr, Atlantis, and Atlantis Jr. In the past, both Atlantis and Atlantis Jr. have talked about their desire to remain technicos, specifically due to the fact that they want to be role models for all of the young fans out there.

Atlantis Jr. explained his decision to remain a technico in a new interview with Fightful, saying that he prefers to be a good guy even though he enjoyed the short stint that CMLL gave him as a rudo.

"Nowadays, the character Atlantis, it’s 100% technicos, the good guy. In my mind, and in the mind of my father, no more rudos. Many years ago, my father had five years of a rudo and the gear changed with the colors. Two years ago, CMLL gave me the opportunity to work like a rudo, and I liked it, but I prefer to be the good guy and the model for the kids. Nowadays, we’re 100% technicos and I’m very happy."
