Daniel Garcia loves his city.
Some of of the best athletes around the world have came from Buffalo, with the sport of wrestling getting to claim big names like Lex Luger, The Blade, and Daniel Garcia. Smaller names like Brandi Lauren and Kevin Bennett are also from the area.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Garcia talked about Buffalo creating wrestlers and how cities like that use sports to distract from the real world.
"Buffalo is a tough city to be in. That’s the thing about these cities that are cold and there is not a lot going on. We have to have something to look forward to. That’s why we go so hard for these sports teams, even when they stink, and why we go so hard for random things. Whenever wrestling comes to Buffalo, it always does really well. People are looking for something to do and they’re looking for a distraction. I feel that’s what sports and wrestling is in cities like Buffalo where it’s like, ‘We need something to root for and something to keep our minds off the cold and to entertain us. Why not wrestle? Why not the Bills even though they lost 13 games this year?’"
Elsewhere in the interview, Garcia talked about knowing that he’s that damn good. Learn more about those comments by clicking here.
