Two superstars Escobar had the chance to work extensively was former WWE Champion Sheamus & the aforementioned WWE IC Champion Drew McIntyre. Mosh asked Eric for his opinions on just how good they both really are, in lieu of some of the criticisms both have faced from critics. "When it comes to Drew & Sheamus, apparently Drew was the "chosen one," since Vince saw him before he even debuted. When he first laid eyes on him, he saw it. He saw it and said ‘He’s gonna’ be my future champion.’ So Drew is the chosen one and he is very, very good. He’s a good worker. Sheamus is very aggressive in the ring, very intense…sometimes a little too intense. This is supposed to be entertainment, and we are supposed to make it look real, but not make it real. As far as him being a great worker, let’s just say they are putting him in the ring with the right people right now. I’m not saying he’s a bad worker, but I’m saying he’s not that good right now. He could be great in the future, but not right now. And they already gave him a good run, and that’s great…he’s made. All he has to do is follow the program, and he’ll be great."
Whenever a superstar leaves World Wrestling Entertainment, it is almost virtually guaranteed that the rumors to TNA will begin. Has there been any conversations with TNA for Eric? "The TNA product is very different; it’s very cool. I watch it from time to time, and the guys have no problem tying to outdo each other in a match. I don’t see anyone, apparently having problems with the politics because so & so is in the main event. If there’s something to TNA, it’s the fact I can communicate with both markets American & Latino markets. So I guess if Dixie Carter is looking for a gofer or something, but I did date Vickie Guerrero for a little bit…I’ll date Dixie Carter."
More is contained in this exclusive interview with Eric Escobar, including his candid thoughts on if he would consider going back to World Wrestling Entertainment if the opportunity presented itself, the storyline idea he had for himself, Vickie Guerrero, & Edge (and why it never came to fruition), which superstars he spoke to for advice during his time in the WWE, his future plans for his return to Puerto Rico (and the World Wrestling Council), the differences between working in the United States & Puerto Rico, plus so much more!
