Last month on AEW Collision, Luchador Hologram made his official in-ring debut. Recently, the President of AEW, Tony Khan revealed that he wanted to see this character in the world of professional wrestling for a long time.
While speaking to Q101, Tony Khan mentioned that he had this character planned out for a long time. Khan also shared that he knew which wrestler should play the character as well, right after he met the young wrestler at PWG. Khan revealed that it was a Luchador who was portraying the gimmick but he did not reveal the real name of the man behind the mask.
“Hologram’s a character I’ve really wanted to see in wrestling for a long time. It was a luchador I had envisioned a long time ago, and honestly, this is the person I wanted to play that role, to be that wrestler. He was a fantastic young talent. I saw him at PWG, and he was 18 years old, and we brought him, when he was a teenager, to Wednesday Night Dynamite, almost five years ago, about four-and-a-half years ago, right after the original Revolution in Chicago. Literally, less than two weeks later, everything was shutting down, it was a crazy time in the world.
“We had brought him in, I was looking to make him Hologram then, and the world kind of went crazy, and he was locked down in Mexico for a long time. It was a long time before he made it back to America, and then I thought eventually, as things opened up, I really wanted to get Hologram in AEW. It’s been tremendous, it was great having Hologram team with Mistico last Saturday,” Tony Khan said. [H/T Fightful.com]
