The NCA should be the ultimate centre of excellence in the country. If a player from India, or some other country, has any requirement, it should serve as a one-stop shop for him. It should also be helpful for the umpires, coaches and curators, and work towards strengthening the cricket academies across various states.

'Lucha Underground' is a combination of new psychology, new moves, and a new take on wrestling: an evolution of wrestling. In my opinion, it is entertaining. It is the kind of wrestling I want to watch. It is the kind of stories I want to tell, which is why I intend to be part of it.
