Gringo Loco looks back on facing El Hijo del Vikingo at Korakuen Hall.
Gringo Loco and El Hijo del Vikingo are two of the most buzzworthy stars on the independent scene today, as they have competed all over the wrestling world. Both of them have been featured with GCW, and they clashed at The Wrld On GCW on October 12. The event was GCW's debut in Korakuen Hall in Tokyo Japan. In the end, Vikingo scored the hard-fought.
Speaking with Cresta Starr for Fightful, Gringo Loco discussed his match against El Hijo del Vikingo at Korakuen Hall.
"There was a moment after that match -- we had a moment together and it was you for work. It was happiness. It was like, 'Man, we just did that, dude.' Regardless of the rivalry in Mexico and the States or whatever, and that we're bitter enemies, like, we just did that, dude. It was his debut in Korakuen Hall and it was my debut in Korakuen Hall. We brought pure Lucha Libre and damn did we do a good job. I mean, based on the feedback we got in the weeks after the Japanese tour, it was just incredible," Gringo Loco said.
Gringo Loco continued by describing his experience working with Vikingo. He called himself the yin to the reigning AAA Mega Champion's yang. Gringo stated that he's happy whenever he gets to share the ring with Vikingo, and he called him one of the best in the world.
"He's a very, very special athlete. I'm literally the yin to his yang. I can help you in all these aspects as long as you get to me and you're able to flip and do all that cool, stuff, and he doesn't 100% of the time. I was going to say 99%, but he doesn't miss. So, anytime that I'm in the ring with Vikingo, I'm a happy Luchador. He's one of the best in the world. PWI thinks so. The fans think so. I think so. Talk about being blessed, I've been able to work with him many times throughout the year. I just worked with him last weekend. It's always a pleasure to work with El Hijo Del Vikingo," Gringo Loco said.
Loco and Vikingo are set to face each other in a tag team match on the December 21 episode of ROH on HonorClub.
