Mercedes Moné wants to see Amazing Red get the credit he deserves.
New IWGP Women’s Champion Mercedes Moné spoke with Phil Strum for Under The Ring ahead of her in-ring return at New Japan Battle In The Valley. Mercedes spoke about training with Amazing Red, noting that she was with him to prepare for her match with Kairi Sane.
Mercedes noted how many wrestlers have been influenced by Red, and it’s about time that he gets proper credit for his influence on the pro wrestling business.
“When it comes to any big matches, I always go to train with him. I actually trained with him this past weekend to get ready for me versus Kairi because he is such a master of the game. He is one of my last mentors that — he’s a legend that doesn’t get the credit that he deserves,” Mercedes said. “People steal from Amazing Red and steal his style without even knowing. He is an underground legend that deserves all the flowers in the world. He’s just amazing, simply amazing.”
Amazing Red is a former three-time TNA (IMPACT Wrestling) x Division Champion. He is also a former Ring Of Honor World Tag Team Champion and NWA World Tag Team Champion. Red is also credited with creating the Code Red maneuver, better known to current fans as a Canadian Destroyer or front flip piledriver.
