Lucha Underground superstar Joey Ryan recently sat down with Sports Illustrated as a part of their “Extra Mustard” series. They discussed a number of topics; most notably was if Ryan’s brand would be a good fit for WWE.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On if his brand is too ‘adult’ for WWE:

“That just makes me want to turn up the volume even more,” said Ryan. “That leaves more doors open for me. It’s now become profitable to become an independent wrestler, and I’m doing fairly well. I’m proud of my accomplishments and the money I’m making.”

On the money he is making on the Independent scene:

“Right now, I know I’m making above average WWE money, and I’m making my own rules and setting my own schedule,” said Ryan. “That’s if they were to approach me; if they don’t approach, then that’s OK, too.”

On the ‘penis flex’ move that has made him famous:

“I found what Scotty Too Hotty found in the worm, or The Rock found, on a much larger scale, with the People’s Elbow, which is something that people who go to watch me wrestle are expecting and want to see,” explained Ryan. “I gear my matches and personality to pay off toward that magic moment. It’s unique, it’s mine, and it’s something people expect. It gives me more of an advantage creatively than someone who does is trying to win an audience over.”

They also discuss his future in the business and more.
