AEW's Daniel Garcia Details Why He Started Dancing & Evolving His Character

Even though Matt Menard and Angelo Parker want Daniel Garcia to stop dancing during his AEW matches, the AEW fanbase loves it. Garcia was a guest on the "Extreme Life of Matt Hardy," where he spoke about why he started dancing in the ring.

"I would just do it [dance] when we would go out," said Garcia. "I think we were in El Paso for the first time in like a big Latin community, I had a match with Ricky Starks, and was like, 'You know what I'm going to get this crowd into it right now.' I started busting out like a little dance, the crowd started like, coming up for it and I'm like, 'Okay, that was cool.' Maybe it's something that I will throw in the heat, every once in a while, maybe it's something I throw in as like a little taunt. Then, you know, by the time Forbidden Door this year in Toronto, it took on a life of its own."

Last Saturday's episode of "AEW Collision" proved that busting out a dance move or two can cost him and his teammates a win, which came against the AEW Trios Champions, The Acclaimed and Billy Gun.

Later in the interview, Garcia spoke about how his storyline feud with Bryan Danielson ended with him going back to Jericho Appreciation Society, which made him feel that his career went backward. He stated that going back to the JAS was another reason why he started dancing in the ring and why he changed his ring gear and music.
