► In JBL's words

How was the experience of commenting tripleMania?
“My God, he was tremendous. He was one of the most fun shows in which I have participated. It was incredibly fun … from Pimpinela to the smallest fighter in the world, the biggest giant, reptilian love triangles, puppet fights. It was crazy with incredible work.”

How was it on a commentator table of three people with Konnan and Corey Serious?
“I am not very fan of the tables of three, because it is difficult to coordinate, but having someone like Conan was incredible. He lived everything, wrote practically half a book of wrestling, has a knowledge of the tremendous product. It was a challenge, because Triplemania is his WrestleMania, his biggest show. And putting three types that had never worked together on that stage was difficult. That, in my opinion, it is the most valuable in the world in wrestling.

What differences did you notice in production and atmosphere compared to WWE?
“The energy was incredible. The fighters were excited as children, even 50 -year -old veterans who seemed to have reborn. The production improved a lot, the influence of Jeremy Boraash and WWe was noticed. They were triple H and Nick Khan there, and they carried a calendar of trials as in Wrestlemania.

It was not as always, where the little one surprises; here he simply threw him as a giant should do it. That moment he became viral, more than 120 million views. and now.

What do you think of Microman as a character?
“He is an expert in the art of fight against knee. He is surely the best staircase champion in history. He is so small that even Hornswoggle seems giant to his side. But seeing him against Omos was incredible, you have to see him in person to dimension how tiny he is, and at the same time, how gigantic he is omos. It was an amazing contrast.

What did you think of Otis's participation?
“I think Otis stole the show. He is a great guy, super good person and a born fighter. He has that legitimate background but combines it with an almost cave, very entertaining character. His interaction with Pimpinela was fantastic, really memorable. I was always his fan, but here he really looked.”

What future do you see for omos in WWE and AAA?
“He trained in Japan as a young man, not as a star, undergoing that brutal regime. He made a great name there and wanted to retain him. I think the same thing will happen in Mexico. It is a massive star. And now, with the alliance, you do not have to leave it in an already saturated roster; you can put it in Mexico, do it global star, and then return it to WWE with the prestige won.
