WOL: Sam Adonis on the differences between American & Mexican wrestling fans

WOL: Sam Adonis on the differences between American & Mexican wrestling fans

It’s WWE SummerSlam Saturday and we hope your home’s air conditioned.

On today’s Wrestling Observer Live, Jim Valley gives you the rundown on night one. At first glance, it looks like a lot of babyface wins, but that can’t be right, right? WWE always throws in some surprise victories.

Earlier this week, you may have seen the AAA crowd in Mexico go crazy for Dom Mysterio and El Grande Americano. If you haven’t watched a lot of lucha, you may be wondering why Mexican fans are cheering Americano when he’s seemingly making a mockery of lucha libre.

Enter Sam Adonis, once called “the most hated man in Mexico.” He’s wrestled there for years in virtually every promotion including AAA, CMLL, The Crash and more. On today’s show, he offers his perspective on the differences between American fans and Mexican fans, and why some reactions in Mexico can be unexpected.

If you’re a fan of lucha or want to learn more, this is a great interview.
