One of the most talented names in Lucha Libre will begin wrestling on US shows soon.
Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated reports El Hijo del Vikingo has secured a visa to work shows in the United States. Vikingo is coming off a highly praised match against Rey Fenix at AAA TripleMania XXX: Mexico City where he successfully defended the AAA Mega Championship. Many fans in the US have been clamouring for the luchador to make his way to the United States and now it seems they will get their wish.
“I first need to thank my home, AAA, and my friends from Masked Republic for making my dream of traveling to the United States possible,” Vikingo said through a translator. “I know it is a great responsibility to head to a new country. It is a responsibility I will live up to and surpass. I want to thank all my fans for their unconditional support. I assure you that I will raise the name Cuautlancingo, Puebla and AAA throughout the world.”
