Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Vliet!
Dragon Lee, thank you so much for doing this. Brother.
Hey. It's my pleasure. Oh, man.
Thank you very much. Pleasure to have you on. You've got an amazing story. I can't wait to dive into it here. Your English is also, I think, way better than people would give you credit for.
I'm still learning, my friend. I think it helps me when I move to the United States. You know, like, the more I hear, the better I can... Get it, you know. How long have you been living in the U.S.
now?
Let's say three years. Okay. Yes. One year in Florida and almost two years in L.A.
Straight from Mexico before that?
Yes.
So when you moved to the U.S., how much English were you speaking?
No, no. So little. Just... A couple of words I remember when I chose to get to NXT. My coach, Terry Taylor, he explained me many things. In a school class we had, he told me, you understand? I said, what? No. I said, what? It's because, you know, they do the request and they say like, you speak English? And I said like, ah, I don't want to, they say like, they know like, I don't. I said like, yes, I think yes, you know? And I had to literally, you know, like quick and, but still it's hard, you know? How'd you learn? Uh, uh, I took a classes with, um, uh, with a teacher in Mexico, but just online, but it's not the same, you know? And, uh, when I was in, uh, in NXT, we had in a full cell school, like twice, uh, twice a week, one hour.
But still, I think I got more than English the, when I started doing like more NXT every, every, every, every, every, every day, like for six hours, you know, staying in the PSA and the PC and. I think that's, that's what it helped me just talk with my friends.
Isn't it interesting though, that wrestling is the international language. Like you could, you could put together a match with someone who speaks Japanese.
How did Dragon Lee first move from Mexico to the U.S. and learn English?
It's just signals. It's just like that. How do you do it? I don't know, like, because we have the bases, we have the, that's the connection with pro wrestling, you know? Like sometimes I remember even my first time when I came to United States, hanging out with Briscoes. I was like seven, no, 18 years old. That was, I talking like years ago. And I honestly, I didn't know what they say. we were just hanging out and I was like, ha ha. Yes. And I would just say like, just laughing, you know, but I, but I got it, but I, you know, just, um, uh, I know the feeling, you know, you know, like, uh, but I just like, you know, just hanging out. That's, that's what a Mexican, we are like that. Just having fun.
What's been the biggest difference in the style of wrestling from Mexico to the U S.
Ah, you know, I think now is, is kind of like, especially in WWE, I feel like wrestling is getting like wrestling. You know, like Japanese style, lucha libre, like Mexico style. If you see Japanese style, it's kind of like just strong style. And Mexico is more like a high fly, submissions. But we have like strong style too. In America, what I see the wrestling, is that the question, right? How I see the... In America, I see it's more like how good you are in the microphone is very important because you have to connect with the people. And obviously, if you are a good wrestler and you have a good character, that's what takes you to the next level. But now I see WWE They want to change that. They want to change.
Like, uh, it doesn't matter how tall you are, how big, you know, well, still is very important, you know, but I, you have the, you, you, you have more like, uh, opportunities who, who you can show yourself.
What, what are capable, what, what, what capable of you are, you know, wrestling is in your blood, right? You're a second generation wrestler because you were around this growing up. Did you feel like you had to be a pro wrestler?
You know, brother, I just did wrestling because I want to get the attention from my father. When I was like five years old, you know, we have stories like my dad, my mom, they separate. Now, as a father, I can understand my father, how he was in that time.
