Can you interview Fuego Del sol? That would be cool to know more about his life and how he came up with the name.
I really wish you would put time stamps on your videos
Also, make sure to do a" good Lucha stuff, goddamn wooh!"
Kalisto is a good guy , I went to high school with him in Chicago, he was a bully beater and he was just friendly to everyone in school , easy going guy , such a shame WWE didn’t utilized him properly, which they do with a lot of wrestlers these day in the company.
dang really?
Nah
He would have been way more over if they just let him be himself, seems like a real cool dude.
That seems to be the overwhelming consensus about the vast majority of Superstars to walk through the doors of WWE in the past 15-20 years.
This interview made me cry because I actually understand how manny felt we sometimes go of the part of life but it's so hard to get back on track
Kalisto is awesome! Thanks for doing this interview, Chris!
He’s the man! Thanks for watching!
Love most your content bro
@@ChrisVanVliet WWE dropped the ball on Kalisto
@@joshuajosuesoto2697 no shit
@@joshuajosuesoto2697 o really I didn't notice
You were 100% spot on when you said wrestling gave him a broken heart. You can see it in his eyes and the way he speaks. He loves the sport a lot.
Absolutely. Great point to make out. What a riveting interview, a true insight on Wrestling, especially Lucha Libre.
I hope he goes to Impact, he’d fit perfectly in the X-Division. He could have 5 star matches with Ace Austin, Rich Swann, Trey Miguel, Chris Bey, Willie Mack, TJP, Jake Something & Petey Williams. He could be in an interesting feud with Rohit Raju as well.
Jobbers who?
@@freshlykhan7076 fool, who? You? Yep
@@packedentertainment2866 Nah man... Freshly Khan is no jobber. He is the world champion of the Liberal Wrestling Association (LWA).
Sheesh man he would kill it with Ace Austin, Chris Bey and Trey Miguel
But in AEW him against Fenix, PAC, Top Flight
The Young Bucks 👀
Same ay he might show up on slammisvasy tommorow😄
Chris is such a great interviewer great listener he doesn't interrupt no one when they are talking much respect
Man, listening to Kalisto in this interview. Make me want to appreciate him more than before. I watched Kalisto since his early NXT days with El Local. Each time, I see him. He is always push himself to steal the show. He is so underrated as wrestler. I hope he can make a comeback to wrestling and be given to right amount of recognition that he deserved. I believe that Kalisto will be the new iconic face of Lucha Libre and Latinos in wrestling.
Mask vs Mask against Rey sounds like it would've been INSANE
How sparatic he talks tells you the amount of stuff he wanted to get of his chest
Chris turned into a therapist real quick. hehe Dr. Van Vliet .... Kalisto thinkin deep into things. hppe he goes and does those great things in life.
I noticed through the interview that Kalisto is a deep thinker man...he puts so much thoughts and emotions in his word. is just me ?
No. Its noticeable even at an autograph signing.
I agree. As I was watching this, I kept thinking that he's a very emotional person. Which isn't a bad thing!
he seems to have found a good sense of life balance. he deserves it. his work rate alone has been stratospheric, and his religious charitable works, although by design humble and not bragged up, are evidently quite strong also. we chicagoans would call him a goodfella.
Real emotion behind words when talking about his time at WWE, felt like just giving him a hug
I just felt so sorry for him 😕
Lowkey Kalisto and Fuego Del Sol would be awesome as a tag team, they’re personalities remind me of each other + their charisma/fan love would be off the charts
I feel so much for him, talking about his mental breakdown, I can relate to that whole heartedly, him struggling to put it into words almost had me emotional. I would love to see him in an MLW, NJPW, and Impact jump around kind of deal where he can wrestle each place. Vs Muertes, Vs Ace Austin, Vs Low Ki, Vs La Parka, Vs Rey Horus, so many options. People should be beating down his door.
Always loved his work. Kalisto should be the new generation's Rey Mysterio right now. WWE has no idea what they're doing
He’s been holding this in for so long. You can just tell he’s had so much to talk about.
I feel so bad because it’s like he isn’t trying to pity himself but that’s just the way it is. And he thinks everything is his fault. Freaking sucks!
Kalisto is such a great human being man, mad respect
I love manny. Not sure if he even remembers but we went to school together and wrestled at windy city pro wrestling. It was back in 06-07 I believe. He was always a super nice guy. I believe he was using the name samuray del sol.
Woot woot. Let's go. I can definitely see the emotion in his eyes and words. He truly is one of the best out there as a professional and a person. Much love goes out to Samuray Del Sol.
My prayers to Kalisto! He seems like a genuine man. I see a bright future for him. Thanks for the great interview as always Chris!
I always fought Kalisto had the potential to be WWE’s next Rey Mysterio but not as big as Rey. Obviously he lacked in some areas that if he was given the chance could’ve improved on
Kalisto is one of the greatest high-flyers/luchadores of the past at least 10 years. An amazing interview,Chris! 😊
WWE is dumb, they could have made this guy a modern day rey Mysterio. Seems like a pretty cool dude and his English is pretty good also man so he can talk for himself on the mic
Bruh exactly
That's why wwe product sucks
Yeah I don't even watch anymore, gave up about a year or two ago after being a fan for I'd say 16 years. I started watching at age 8 & stop at 24 but still watch AEW. I watch some highlights of the reigns run and kofi mania stuff like that. The creative just sucks ass now doesn't even try to put in an effort to develop stars & stories. It's supposed to be a television show where the stories are just as good as the matches. They have great talent just don't know how to utilize them cause they constantly want to push one guy. Which I respect reigns, their kinda doing with him what they did with Cena in his earlier years. The ratings Are down for a reason man that's all I have to say
Keep crying while wwe keeps making billions 🤣
@@zedpremiergaming9118 nobody's crying it's just wrestling lol there's other forms of entertainment out there that is actually good
What a nice guy he seems to be. Slightly concerned as he’s clearly a little anxious and disappointed about his release/future. Best luck and wishes for your future Kalisto. Always been a fan! 👏👏👏
Mental health is real. Best wishes to Kalisto. Loved his work on 205.
This man is a great talent. Its unfortunate that one promo derailed him. At one point he and rey in a mask vs mask natch would have made sense. Sadly at the end it would not have but at one point it would
If Chris should be added to a hall of Fame one day best interviewer in the game
Chris I think you hit the nail on the head when you said kalisto looks like he had a broken heart from wrestling. He had to take a second and collect himself while looking away
His love for horror make me wonder what a heel Kalisto could've been.
I know right I did that in my universe Kalisto & Cara heel black silver and purple colour scheme like heel Crush
Oooooh a Bray/Kallisto collab might have been dope
Excited for this one. Dude's got some major Lucha things incoming for his career. This Lucha Dragon is gonna soar in this interview, CVV.
such a shame latin (and other foreigners) guys are not taken as seriously as they should, imagine how good wwe could be right now if they had given guys like andrade, garza, kalisto and metalik go however they want; just amazing
Samuray is really cool, hope he gets a good opportunity else where. He is a killer in the Ring and whenever if he goes to AEW, Impact, ROH or whatever he will do well.
Samuray vs Fenix! 🔥
True -)
AEW is shit, He should go back to WWE
@@rezesionistaveloxx3870 considering the low ratings wwe’s product gets these days, I wouldn’t work for them if I was a wrestler.
@@anthonybarnes1903 Why low?
i wouldve loved kalisto vs rey mask vs mask match
Damn he's from the south side? Never knew, thats crazy. Great interview, u can tell he needed to get some stuff off his chest. Viva 🇲🇽
Sad that WWE doesn't acknowledge this guy
That is crazy about his December 2019 experience of being sick because around the same time my relatives and I were in San Bernardino.. not far from LA. When we got home to AZ, one of my relative was sick. He had the same symptoms as COVID. So I believe so that COVID was around the US at that time. He went to the local hospital and they couldn't figure out what sickness it was that he was dealing with. It was unidentified at the time.
He was the best Luchador in WWE since Mysterio.
You should have asked him if the rumour of him being repackaged as Miz's hairstylist was true!
I think his release was the best thing that could have happened to him. He's more suited for the indies, for Mexico and even perhaps Japan. In WWE he'd always be seen as a bootleg Rey Mysterio. Rey was THE masked luchador in WCW and especially WWE. They tried with Kalisto, with Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado, but eventually they needed to get Mysterio back. And it's not just management, I think many fans see these guys as Rey wannabes because Mexican Lucha Libre wasn't well known or popular 15, 20, 25 years ago for the average fan. Rey is a once in a lifetime performer and other luchadores in WWE cannot fill his shoes.
He needs to go to ROH & NJPW.
@@DragonwaveOG they don't work together anymore. I could see Samurai del Sol in MLW, NWA, ROH and CMLL but also in NJPW, AAA, Impact and AEW. If he's smart, he'll play well his cards, work mainly the indies and make appearances here and there without committing to one single promotion.
@@anxofernandez3344 nah he should make a name in ROH OR NJPW.
Thank you for doing this interview with Kalisto one of my favourite of all time
Good person, puts in work and looks like a million bucks. I am glad to call this man a friend of mine and I know where ever this world takes him he will tear it up!!!
I knew this was a good interview when Manny made me cry for some reason, he's been through a lot and yet still positive and keeps his head up. One of my favourite interviews, Thank you Chris for this!
What a great interview I would love to see a Daniel Bryan interview with you it Would be awesome
Really love Kalisto, this guy was always a favorite of mine and to see him so happy and excited for his future is awesome, it must have been a drag getting jobbed week in and week out. It's also amazing to meet the man behind the mask, he seems like such an amazing person, can't wait to one day see a Samuray Del Sol vs Cinte De Oro, or even a reunion.
Really enjoyed this one and i was not expecting to like that much, best of luck to Samurai!
My favorite wrestler I’m following him and I stopped watching wwe I miss watching him (can’t wait to see where he goes
I loved this guy from the small indies like NWA Force 1 in Jersey to seeing him in the WWE. Love you Samuray Del Sol!
Man what he said around 11:45 to 11:55 was heart warming. Love this guy
Even just starting, and I know that he's only doing this one interview, BUT, he needs to talk to AJ from the house of masks. Just about horror and wrestling, not even his release!
It's so good to see Kalisto doing good... Keep that TIGHT group of friends my man and keep improving in life eeeeeveryday. Yet another underrated talent in wwe. This man does things in the ring that I have NEEEEEEEVER seen. Just picture this... Kalisto v Rey Mysterio for the united states championship and the wwe just told them to go out there and have a good match 😳. How about this... Kalisto v Richochet, ladder match for #1 contendership for a mid card title. Can u IMAGINE these scenarios with good booking? My goodness
awesome interview!!! I would love to see him in AEW or even Impact
I love this interview Chris! You are the best interviewer in the wrestling business!
Awesome Interview Today Chris And Samuray Del Sol/Kalisto!!😎🐐🐐
Samuray del sol is the reason I started watching wrestling he will always be my hero
Imagine if we got the mask vs mask match!! Wowie Howie....
Also another great interview sir❤️
Great interview
I had heard when he first came to WWE that he was going to have a hairstylist gimmick lol. Not sure how true that is. Great interview as always, Chris
Thanks Peter!
Very transparent guy. You can tell he’s a good guy.
Would DIE to see the Lucha Dragons reunite!!!!!
Kalisto seems to be interviewing himself lol
This is so cool!
Would be great in the Lucha Bros.
Wow 🥺 I feel bad for kalisto you can hear the frustration and disappointment in his voice makes you sad WWE really dropped the ball with this guy he could have been the next rey Mysterio wow good luck on his future wherever he goes to hopefully impact will pick him up he has so much potential he was very underated
Lucha House Party could have been so much more if they were allowed to use their potential 🤦
My favorite wrestling podcast period
Great interview Chris i really respect how you just let people talk and let the interview go wherever it goes
Kalisto cool af
When does he talk about Lucha House Party ? Can someone give me the time stamp ?
We really all just want the same things, ya know... I understand what it means to want for yourself & no matter what road u go down...DEAD END. It hurts. I'm experiencing that at the moment.
We gon make it, Manny...SOMEHOW. It's seems that so often the ones of us who are willing to embrace vulnerability & "spill our guts", so to speak, are the ones meant for great things. We're meant to break through...but, it's a journey.
Much love, Samuray! 💕

BTW, Chris, everytime I've watch your vids I'm in AWE of that belt on that shelf back there. It's beautiful.
PHENOMENAL interview, as per usual. 🙏🏾
Wow, what a great interview Kalisto, and remember keep up the hard work and never stop believing in yourself!!! Chris thanks for bringing this to us.
Wow it’s good to get to know the man behind the mask Manny. Great interview praying for many success for him and his businesses.
One of your absolute greatest interviews!
He going to do some LUCHA THINGS
Respect to Kalisto. Lot of newfound respect for him.
From this interview, Kalisto needs his own Water Bottle Brand
Pretty solid interview
Good luck in the future Kalisto! The lucha dragons got me back into wrestling after years of not watching. WWE is not the only big platform
Another one down in the UUDD crew I can see all these guys getting together in the future for something huge. Kalisto real good dude. Another fantastic interview Chris
Tyler breeze too
Exited for this!!!
Awesome interview, I love Kalisto! I can just imagine how long conversations would go with him and Sin Cara ! 😅
I myself think he needs to process a lot of stuff and might not be a popular opinion it just seems like he's carrying a lot of stuff that would mess with somebody mentally he's a great performer and I hope for him nothing but the best
Chris my man, your taking all my free time🤣🤣 love the vids bud! Making Canada proud
Lucha!!! Lucha!!!! Lucha!!! You are dope no matter what! And you know that,Kalisto!✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
His a good guy thanks for the interview Chirs
lucha-eats sounds awesome.
I feel for Samuray Del Sol. This guy should have been one of the bigger stars in WWE. I hope he gets another shot with a big company.
I wish kalisto reads this comment, look man you're an amazing athlete, you're only 34, and you still have a lot to come in your career, what's left is more than what is gone.
many wrestlers got back to WWE after they got released like Drew McIntyre who had a grat success, Ginder mahal, Selena Vega and others and even if you didn't get get back there, there are plenty of other wrestling programs like AEW, TNA,and ROH, and all these can be a stepping stone for you to get right back on track.
It's not always about if you are working hard enough sometimes things don't go your way, and thats ok brother.
Just have faith.
You had a great run with the lucha house party, you had a great run as the US champion, and your rivalry with Rayback was fantastic, and your cruiserweight championship run was amazing.
You've done very well in your career so far, I am a big fan of yours, i am inspired by you, but i hate to see you sad, enjoy your time right now, connect with your family and friends, and take it easy ❤️❤️❤️
WOW amazing collection!
He looks like he's wearing an ultimo dragon mask
Imagine a fatal 4 way,
Kalisto vs Rey Fenix vs Pentagon Jr vs Rey Mysterio ❤️ A dream match ❤️
had no idea he was a Chicagoan! and a horror movie fan? this dude is awesome lol
Fuego del Sol, kalisto and sincara as trio tag team.
what royal rumble is he talking about whenever he had that face off with rey ?
WWE should make Kalisto United States Champion Regin and much longer on his second run but still he is the G.L.O.A.T of lucha libre and also inspired me to be like him when I was Little
cant wait til Samuray Del Sol returns!
You can tell how different each of these wrestlers are in their interviews
1:30 even greater fan of him now! I have my collection as well hahaha!
The fact that WWE never let Kalisto v Mysterio happen is one of the reasons I stopped watching the product.
