Congratulations to WWE SmackDown star Angel Garza!
WWE Superstar Angel Garza might not be the most utilized name on television, but he appears to be a happy man. Based on a story posted on Instagram, we send out our heartfelt congratulations to him.
Angel has now been with WWE for nearly six years now. As some of you might know, he is a part of the legendary Garza wrestling family in Mexico. His grandfather was the famous "El Ninja" and his relatives include Humberto Garza (father of Humberto Carrillo) and Hector Garza. When posting about his grandfather's passing, he mentioned how he was tragically taken just three weeks before the birth of what would have been his great-granddaughter.
On Angel Garza's Instagram story, he posted a photo of his daughter and pregnant wife. It seemed to have gone under the radar, but he is set to have a second child - specifically, another daughter. We wish Angel and his wife congratulations on the momentous occasion:
Angel Garza reveals the nature of WWE's offer as he signed on for a few more years.
Because Garza hasn't been utilized to his potential in WWE, whether on NXT or the main roster, it led to some speculation that he was getting tired and planning to conclude his run with the sports entertainment juggernaut after over five-and-a-half years.
Earlier this year on Facebook, Angel Garza shot down reports that he was leaving WWE and stated the opposite - that he had re-signed for another three years as the offer was too good to refuse:
"No, I have not left. In fact, I just re-signed for another three years. It was an offer I straight-up could not reject, so there is that," Garza said. [H/T - Fightful]
It's always a great thing when wrestlers can be financially taken care of regardless of how much they're being utilized. While we're sure Garza would like a greater spotlight on television, the reality is that many if not most superstars are happy to earn a steady living where they can feed their families and take care of their future.
If you simply look at Drew McIntyre's recent words where he expressed just how much the wrestling business has taken from him and his life, it paints a picture of the brutal reality of the industry, which is why it's hard to fault anyone for taking a big offer even without the promise of greater things creatively.
