Wrestling legend Konnan has compared El Hijo Del Vikingo's recent debut on AEW Dynamite to Rey Mysterio's iconic debut in WCW.
Vikingo took the wrestling world by storm with his high-flying antics on the latest episode of Dynamite.

Vikingo, who is the current AAA Mega Champion, has also garnered praise from industry veterans for his performance.
One such legend is Konnan. Speaking on his podcast Keepin' It 100, the former WCW star praised the high-flying abilities of Vikingo and acknowledged the risks he takes during matches.
He added that the debut reminded him a lot of when Rey Mysterio debuted in WCW.
"It reminded me a lot when Rey Mysterio debuted, you know, like WCW, and just the electricity in the air, like everybody was waiting to see this. And I was so happy that because I know that Vikingo does a lot of risky things that, you know, he could have eaten dust, and thank God he didn't. So, I was happy for both of them, both good guys," Konnan said. [20:30 - 20:50]
