Daniel Garcia Says He Never Intended His Dance To Become A Thing

Daniel Garcia’s popularity in AEW has surged to a new level in recent months due to his use of a dance. Fans pop every time he pulls out his little hip wiggle, which has also led to his opponents being taken off guard, providing an advantage sometimes.

Garcia spoke on the Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast and noted how his hip thrusting moves were never intended to get as over as they have done.

"I never really intended for the dance to become a thing as much as it has in the ring. It was just something me, Isiah [Isiah Kassidy aka Brother Zay], and Cheesecake would do when we go out. Just a little dance move, a little Latin dance move. I love Latin music. Isiah and Cheesecake can't stand it. I listen to it too much. I would just do it when we would go out. I think we were in El Paso for the first time, big Latin community, I had a match with Ricky Starks and I was like, "I'm going to get this crowd into it right now.' I started busting out the dance and the crowd started coming up for it. 'That was cool, maybe it's something I'll throw in the heat every once in a while, just as a little taunt.' Then, by the time Forbidden Door, it took on a life of its own.”

Whether it was intended or not, Garcia has showcased himself to be a great sports entertainer (not just a professional wrestler) and fans simply cannot get enough of his dance.
