It really needs to be noted: Angel Garza just oozes charisma.

Sometimes the announcers give a wrestler a nickname or play up a persona and your eyes roll. But calling Garza “Raw’s Resident Lothario” seems to work well. He sidles up next to a woman and gestures for a kiss (in this case, the ringside photographer). During the match, he tears off his pants to reveal wrestling trunks. During interviews, he flirts with Charly Caruso (with the interviewer clearly swooning).

And Monday, Garza showed his personality and intensity during a squash match against Tehuti Miles. The two jawed to begin the match, and then Angel countered a leapfrog with a dropkick and it was off to the races for Garza.

Compare this squash with Garza’s stablemate Austin Theory’s squash earlier in the show. That shows you even more about Garza and his charisma.
