In an interview with Andrew Thompson on POST Wrestling, WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett raved about former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar. Jarrett worked with Escobar in both Impact Wrestling and AAA, where Escobar worked as El Hijo del Fantasma, and he believes Escobar could a star on WWE’s main roster sooner than you think.
“I’ve known him a long time but in 2017, I brought him to IMPACT, Global Force,” Jarrett said. “I brought him as a part of that. He’s bilingual which is huge. He understands both psychologies. He’s got a family lineage, his father, so he obviously grew up in lucha libre. But he also understands the American style, and we’re buddies, we’re amigos but I cannot say enough good things about him as a performer. The sky’s the limit for him. He’s very articulate in both languages and so, I really think in 2022 and I’ll just say this: A year from now when you bring up his name, I think me and you would have a different conversation.
