One of the more outstanding talents in AEW, Luchasaurus, along with teammates, Jungle Boy and Marko Stunt, has enjoyed a fan following that has propelled their team Jurassic Express. The team is one of the few 'homegrown' acts of the company as they have gotten over organically with the fans.

He said: (H/T Wrestling Inc)

"In 2013 when I was in developmental, they sat me down in a room after six months and said wrestling is not for you. You're not cut out for it, find another job. I could have taken that to heart and walked away, because their style wasn't for me. They were right, their style wasn't for me. I had to go off and find something completely different."

It's fair to say that he seemed to have found his footing in AEW...even if it took 65 Million years to get there.
