Chad Gable says El Grande Americano was his idea, and it was never meant to be a comedy character.

On Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the Intercontinental Champion said he built the character to draw heat by insulting lucha libre culture:

"It was never supposed to be like funny, you know. Entertaining, sure, but no, it was never a ha-ha funny type thing."

Gable also credited Ludwig Kaiser for carrying the mask while he was out with a rotator cuff injury: "He didn't just keep it alive, he made it thrive."
