AEW's Penta El Zero Miedo opens up on criticism over Lucha Libre style

AEW star Penta El Zero Miedo sat down with the RPBG Podcast on YouTube (H/T Fightful.com), and one half of the Lucha Bros. spoke about the criticism directed at him and his in-ring style on AEW programming for allegedly being too spot-heavy and not involving too many thigh slaps and not enough in-ring psychology. Here's what he had to say:

These people criticize it because they can't do it. If they could, they would. So if there's someone criticizing my style it's because they don't know how to do it or they can't physically do it. So the easiest thing to do is criticize it. We respect their view if they don't like it but I think for this business if you really want to be a star, you have to manage all the styles. Old school, aerial, aggressive.

He added that he didn't want to limit himself to a particular style, instead prioritized being comfortable with multiple styles of wrestling. He further said he had immense respect for extreme wrestlers, but cited body preservation as one of the reasons he doesn't indulge in it too often.

Penta also went on to praise his brother Ray Fenix, another top hi-flier in AEW, calling him the best wrestler in the world, a claim which many will dispute but isn't without its merits. Penta made a name for himself in Mexico and is one of the best known stars there and has been enjoying a prominent spot on AEW Dynamite.
