WWE Star Penta Opens Up About The Cero Miedo 'Lifestyle'

While the translation is easy to find, the reasoning behind why Penta says Cero Miedo so much actually dates back to his years in AAA. When he was originally gifted the Pentagon gimmick, it was said to be cursed as every man who had worn the mask before him had terrible luck during their careers, causing Penta to come up with the cero miedo catchphrase as a way to show no fear to the curse. However, where he got the inspiration to say it in the first place comes from a style of Mexican music that Penta is a fan of.

"The truth is, I love the Corridos. In Mexican music is the Corridos. In Mexico, there are the Los Buitres De Culiacan Sinaloa is the name of the band. And a lot of songs say, 'Cero miedo mi compa,' in English is like no fear my friend, something like that. But I started [hearing it], okay, I like it. I like it. In my first interview in AAA in Mexico. I need to do the promo and it is like how do I finish it? 'Cero miedo!' Just like my reaction was the 'Cero miedo!' Okay. After that, everyone [said to me] 'Hey, cero miedo!' is like, okay. I got it. I improved the cero miedo. Just the hands, you know, the T-shirts and everything. But the truth is cero miedo comes from the Corridos in Mexico."

Penta's signature hand symbol has also leaked into popular culture thanks to his friendship with George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers, who has not only performed the hand gesture during games, but even made a surprise appearance with Penta after a recent "WWE Main Event" taping.
