As seen on this week’s episode of AEW Collision, Hologram made his promotional debut after weeks of vignettes hyping his arrival.
On the show, he won a squash match. Fightful Select reports that this debut has been in the works for over a year behind the scenes in the company. AAA and GCW wrestler Aramis is the man behind the gimmick.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer further discussed Tony Khan’s gimmick idea.
“Tony Khan has had an idea for Aramis for probably five years, maybe four. For whatever reason, it never materialized, and now it has. The thing with him is in the interim, since he had this idea, we have had so many luchadors come through. Aramis is very good, and his moves were good and everything, but to me, it was like, I felt like, how’s he any different from Komander? And Komander’s probably the better of the two, but Komander’s a jobber……Look, Tony Khan’s wanted his luchador superhero with that gimmick for a long, long time. The guy’s good. It’s just a question of pushing him and how far you can go with him.”
