WWE star Chelsea Green has commented on the legacy of her match against current Intercontinental Champion Penta in Lucha Underground.
The October 10, 2018 edition of Lucha Underground featured a match between Pentagon Dark and Reklusa, a character portrayed by Chelsea Green.
Speaking on The Fan Morning Show on 93.7 The Fan, Chelsea Green spoke about the reception to the bout, and how people are still talking about it almost eight years on.
Noting that at the time, she was just doing her job, Green explained:
“When you’re wrestling, I think it’s like anything in life, you don’t realize they’re the good old days. So when I wrestled Penta, I wrestled him, it was awesome, I came to the back, the boys were like ‘Oh my god, that was great.’
“Then I got on a plane and went to the next show and I didn’t think anything of it. And now, years removed from it… Now I’m like ‘Damn, that was really badass.’
“That might be one of the matches that I’m known best for. That’s crazy to me because in the moment, I was just doing my job. “

Chelsea Green explained that she was only flown in for a tryout with Lucha Underground and ended up doing several shows as the Reklusa character.
Noting that she doesn’t change how she works, Green concluded:
“There’s no difference to me whether I’m wrestling in front of 20 people of 20,000, (against) a man, a woman… I’ve done it all in my career.
“I don’t do anything different, but then years later I realize that it made an impact, or that people felt a certain way.”
