One time, I wrestled Joey Abs in San Antonio. They always gave me nice matches. They were always great to me, they were always nice to me, super respectful. They always gave me the last match before Raw starts live. So everyone’s in their seats, the crowd’s red hot and I remember Tony Garea, one of the agents, told me, ‘Hey man. I notice you do that big topé over the top rope. Can you do it tonight?’ I go, ‘Sir, I’ll do whatever y’all want me to,’ you know? (Hernandez laughed) I want a job. So I’m wrestling Joey Abs, the match before Raw. I get beat up, did my comeback, I do my dive and hit it in front of 20,000 Mexicans, with the last name Hernandez. I can’t get higher than that. I go to the back. It was like a morgue. No one would look at me, no one would talk to me, nothing because if you remember, before 2015, every place had a certain move-set that wrestlers respected and they don’t do those moves. So at the time, only Undertaker did that move, the big dive. So, I didn’t do that dive because I wanted to, I did it because I was asked to. But, of course I was the guy — they wouldn’t look at me. I mean for about 20 minutes, it was super uncomfortable and they thought I went into business for myself but I mean, I’m just like you guys. I know what I can do and I know what not to do and to make sure I don’t get unnecessary heat so, it was awkward for that whole time.
