@mollysmallfry Omg you are the luckiest woman ever!! I totally envy you. But now that I think about it, I want to do more than just makeout with him. ;). But I swear, he is the most charming guy in the WWE right now,( next to Wade Barrett.) gosh, I get weak in the knees cause that wink is contagious. It really made me go weak in the knees. I really had to sit down after watching him do the wink
@Roody4594 Lol right the one thing crocop is known for is his kicks and he's done that to alot of great fighters. People just like to talk shit but see if they'd get up from a Mirko kick. CroCop may not be what he what he used to be but at that time when he taught Alberto he was at his prime
He lied in a couple things, about the third generation, because at least his grandfather wasn't a luchador, maybe a greco roman or olympic amateur, but not Luchador, and about "Valente Pérez", te man who desing the Dos Caras mask, but not the Blue Demon Mask.
Hmm he seems like a decent dude...but I still dont like his character. His mic skills are fairly good 7/10. Charisma 2/10 booing isnt charisma thats heat. Wrestling Skill 6/10. He is pretty good. but not great.
@AAAnderson001 I don't support him and I prefer Christian and any other wrestlers from the 90s, all I said is he seems like a nice person in real life, and I know for a fact I know much more about wrestling than you anyday
i love Ricardo Rodriguez intro when he says: Albertooooo....Del Riiooooooooo!! Alberto also a great wrestler,great charisma...i would say Eddie 2,but no one can replace him! RIP
@LuchaLibreFanboy eeeeeeem, pero yo lo dije, el nombre del sujeto es Valente Pérez, quién diseño la máscara de Dos Caras, Sicodelico, Tinieblas e hizo el concurso para la máscara de Mil Máscaras. y señalé que el no diseño la máscara de Blue Demon como Dos Caras Jr. comenta.
Actually very talented, charismatic, great on the mic, ADR is almost the total package. I can see him getting the WWE championship in the very near future.
Everybody may hate "Alberto del Rio", but with this interview, most of you gotta love the person that is Alberto Rodriguez (his real name), one really humble guy.
@thepoopstinks1 how is he better in anyway. of course the accolades but that is because he has been there longer. but that is no reason to say that alberto is a disgrace to mexico. i am not debating about you liking eddie better. i am debating that alberto is not a disgrace. also chavo should not be doing that because he cannot carry eddie's legacy. alberto isn't trying to do that. he is showing classiness not copying anyone.btw eddie became a legend only because he died and they felt sorry.
Listen and listen good: Alberto is the face of the wwe. I was starting to lose interest in wwe but then this guy showed up and I got totally hooked. This guy is a bad guy but has a personality like no other. No more of the cena face. Don't get me wrong I like cena and all, I feel he is a good role model for kids, donating a ton of money to charity. I even wore a shirt when I went to the rumble, but Del rio is the real deal!
@thepoopstinks1 well if you think he sucks because everyone boo's him then i guess you are saying that eddie guerrero sucks because most of eddie's career he was bood because he was a heel. remember when he was against rey mysterio? remember when he was against rob van dam, the rock, ric flair, edge, and a whole bunch of other people? alberto is not a disgrace. he won the fricken royal rumble! thats amazing. i am honored that he is one of my people
@BloodPump i understand that. but thats way he gave mexicans a bad image. doesn't that seem bad to you. i am not saying that he really did steal cars cuz then he would have been in jail. but his gimmick gave mexicans a bad image. thats what i ment to say just this time it is in different words. also i did say that i was sorry
he might rub people the wrong way behind the scenes from time to time because he thinks he knows more about how to do things and might even insist on being the one in charge. He's diplomatic though and that might diffuse things somewhat. I could see tensions with Cena over who thinks they know more.
@AAAnderson001 well brock lesnar , kane and ric flair prove that theory wrong. But Either way i don't want him to become wwe world champion yet either and im happy they didn't put the belt on wade barrett too, they both need to be built up more.
@cruiser1990 yeah but the wwe pushed him way too fast way to soon and when he became champ he didn't draw much money, that's why they took the belt from him and gave it to punk. but he's got a decent gimmick at least.
@AAAnderson002 WWE is Hollywood, the match was a fake. That victory at Wrestlemania was for Edge in the first time, all was planned since that day when Del Rio win the RR.
Awesome interview. Rosenberg has thee best wrestling (and HipHop) interviews. Del Rio is one of those characters that will be legendary. Seems like a really good dude too.
Awesome heel, Awesome Luchador, everything is Awesome about him. Very cool guy and respectful, just imagine him being drunk, he'd probably imitate Ricardo Rodriguez
It's kinda funny that Del Rio was a babyface most recently for about 6 months but the babyface wasn't good at all so WWE turns him back int a heel at Payback.
Totally agree, they definitely need to freshen up his character somehow. Rodriguez would be a huge help with the transition too since he's such a fun personality. I noticed on Smackdown last friday that Alberto was slapping hands with a few people in the audience... Kinda shocked me a little bit to see it cuz that's obviously not heelish behavior, especially for an "everyone is below me" type heel like Del Rio. Here's hoping!
Hogan was very over as early as 1980 and got a role in "Rocky" while he was in AWA. And he went on to become far more popular than Cena ever will be. Hogan isn't overrated at all, he just catches crap from internet nerds, "Good worker" means "good at working the crowd" and every wrestler I've ever heard agrees. By that definition, it's impossible to overrate Hogan. And I'm not even a big Hulk fan
Albert Del Rio you can be full blooded Mexican and be Mexican American. Dumb comment. It has nothing to do with blood it has to do with you being the first Mexican to win from Mexico. Cain Velasquez is the first Heavyweight UFC Champion who is Mexican American and I doubt anyone would challenge his Mexican ancestry or Lineage. People forget the history of the Southwest and how many of the states use to belong to Mexico & many people of Mexican ancestry stayed on this side when it was sold.
Like Del Rio is saying, he was a God in Mexico. People don't understand that Del Rio (Dos Caras Jr), Sin Cara (Mistico) and Konnan were HUGE stars. Santo is the father of Lucha Libre, but ADR's family are a big deal For example, did you know that in 2007, Sin Cara was the highest drawing wrestler in the world? He drew more than John Cena without worldwide exposure or the WWE machine. And Konnan was in 94, but you'd never think it. ADR is far from a chump...just underutilized and mishandled.
@secret212000 If youre defining his skills just from his fight against Mirko then you know as much as if you believed that earth is the center of the universe. Mirko was in his prime and alberto got caught from his special kick which no fighter recovered once connected ergo he didnt have the chance to trouble Cro cop.with his grabs. Also Cro cop has retired and Alberto is still in the show
@AAAnderson3 First of all, Big Show lost because he could not continue the match. He did not submit him. Get your fact straight. Second, even if he did submit him, why is it impossible? Big Show has tapped out to a lot of submissions, even to John Cena's STFU. But I guess because he is a noobie that it is impossible for Alberto Del Rio to beat the Big Show. Let me tell you this; if it is possible for Rey Mysterio to beat the Big Show, I don't see why not Alberto Del Rio.
@AAAnderson3 I have no beef with HBK. As a matter of fact, he is one of my favorite wrestlers. But even so, I am not blind by the fact that he is arrogant and he has a huge ego. There is nothing wrong with admitting the flaws of your favorite wrestlers. It only means that you recognize them as Human and they make mistakes, just like everyone else. But they are also professional at what they do and that is why I have huge respect for these wrestlers.
@RateDTD And another thing what's this BS about Del Rio beating Big Show my submission at Capitol Punishment? On his best day he can never beat Big Show.. It's like I said before, laziness on the part of WWE creative. If the only way to make Del Rio look like a main event threat is to have him beat Big Show in a match then he was never a real main event threat to begin with. WWE creative screws up yet again what should've been a slow healthy build up for Del Rio. They just never learn.
@RateDTD I'm not saying Mark Henry should main event. I'm saying if it all comes down to deciding whether Mark Henry or lesnar should win the title from the current champion then the current champion should stay the current champion because neither Lesnar or Mark Henry are good choices for putting the belt on. In a choice like that there is no lesser of 2 evils cuz neither is capable of bringing up new talent.
@RateDTD Except being better than Mark Henry doesn't really count for anything cuz Mark Henry has never had a push in his entire career. As for Lesnar being a great performer who can actually wrestle I have yet to see anything from him besides generic big man power moves that we've seen probably a million times already from just about every big man WWE has ever put in front of us.
@AAAnderson3 You are right, you are promoted based on your performance, but that is not only thing they are looking for. Performance is the key, and Lesner is a much better wrestler and performer than Henry. I do think Lesnar cut it as Champion. He was a great performer and he can actually wrestle against the biggest and the best wrestlers at the time. I agree, they should've give him Daniel Bryan a proper build up, but don't count him out.
@Gurkenfasn01 No I don't know that cuz nobody has proven that. Mysterio u could make a case for cuz he made a name for himself in Mexico, ECW, WCW, and WWE so it makes sense for the fans to stand behind him. Del Rio has only done Mexico which nobody follows so it makes no sense for him to get any fan support right now. Your problem is you're showing favoritism towards Mexico and its wrestlers. That kills your whole argument right there.
@RateDTD Ur gonna be promoted based on your performance for the company you're currently working for. Am I right or am I wrong? And another thing if it all comes down to putting the title on Lesnar or Mark Henry then it's better to keep the title where it is cuz Lesnar just doesn't cut it as WWE champion. It's that simple. Oh and BTW what they're doing with Daniel Bryan right now is what they should've done instead of slapping the US title on him fresh out of NXT. Proper build up remember?
@AAAnderson3 Why you hate the indies? Because that is where many wrestlers develops? Did you know that many wrestlers came from the indies world, including Cena and CM Punk? You probably only like them becasue they "paid their dues". I agree, Lesnar should've waited, but he does have amatuer background, same as Angle (whether they won the Olympic Medal or not). You probably like Mark Henry since he participated in Olympics, but I honestly whether see Lesnar as Champion than Mark Henry.
@AAAnderson3 No, I am not saying that at all. I am saying that if they could put on a show and get the crowd behind them, what is wrong with them being champion? My favorite wrestler is Kurt Angle and he won both the Intercontinental Champion and the European Champion within four months of his career and he is still considered one of the best wrestlers of all time. Hell, he won the WWE Champion in less than a year.
@RateDTD And again he does not have crowd support. You show me a video here on youtube where Del Rio is getting crowd support and I'll believe you but you haven't so I'm not gonna believe you. you talk about having great feuds. What great feuds did he have? He only feuded with Rey Mysterio that's all. And another thing I ain't avoiding anything. The problem with you is you're seeing more in Del Rio than what is really there.
@Gurkenfasn01 His days in Mexico don't matter. What matters is the present. And in the present he hasn't been a better wrestler than Christian, Cena, or Orton. You can talk about his so-called mic skills and charisma until you're blue in the face but until WWE no longer needs to pipe in an artificial crowd reaction for del rio or until he starts doing more than repeat the word destiny a thousand times and use stolen cars to run over giants he will never matter in the WWE universe.
@AAAnderson3 Avoiding questions yet again. Why can't you just answer it. YOu don't have to make it difficult. But I'll answer your question. If a wrestler can put on a great match, if he can work with others well, if he have great mic skills, if he can get the crowd by his side, and if he had great feuds (along with great matches) with high-profile wrestlers, then yes, he can be Champion. I don't see why not. Now just answer my question.
@Gurkenfasn01 They need to use him to build up the midcard division (give him the US or IC title) first cuz right now it's at its weakest. It's all about proper build up from midcard to main event and giving somebody 3 free title shots on Smackdown is not what I would call proper build up to main event status. Maybe you need go watch videos of when Austin and HBK were midcarders so you'll understand the importance of a proper build up.
@Gurkenfasn01 The fans are smarter that (at least I hope they are). They're not gonna flock to some no-namer just because he's having a feud with Cena. Look what happened to the Miz and how quickly he lost momentum in the main event scene. Even if the fans get behind del rio (which I doubt will happen) his momentum will quickly slow down the moment his feud with Cena is over cuz they haven't really bothered to build up anybody else so really this is not the time to give Del Rio the title.
@RateDTD Let me ask you this. Where is the value in an instant champion? Where is the value in a guy having to do very little to win a championship? Can't you see that instant champions only serve to discredit and devalue both the championship and the previous title holders who actually had to work for it? Not to mention it also devalues and discredits the guys who are currrently working hard to get it. Why can't you see that?
@RateDTD "don't you get tired of this. Just constantly whining on RUclips video about Del Rio or Lesnar." I've shown nothing but civility throughout this whole debate and you think you can come around here and start mocking me with disrespectful garbage like that? Let me tell you something friend. I don't whine. I speak the truth and I say what needs to be said. That doesn't make me a whiner by any means.
@ShantyIrishman Yea that's actually pretty surprising 'cause he's all full of himself on tv but he seems pretty shy and laid back. That contrast is really cool.
@RateDTD Except there are no rookies to fit that bill. There never has been and it's unlikely there ever will be because it's the waiting that makes it possible to work on getting the crowd behind you, refining your ring skills, and sharpening your mic skills. That's what the waiting time is for. Can't you see that? It's your RUSH RUSH RUSH mentality that invites sloppiness in the ring, sloppiness on the mic, and the rejection of fans. Remember the old saying, haste makes waste.
@RateDTD Neither Christian, John Cena, R-truth, Rey Mysterio, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase, John Morrison, or Randy Orton are burnt out veterans. And furthermore, the only time a rookie can be champion is when there are no experienced people left on the roster to run with the belt and that's a very extreme but rare set of circumstances that has never happened in the history of pro-wrestling.
@RateDTD If you don't want me giving you hell then start caring about paying dues and don't ever support a rookie as champion.You can't support Del Rio to be champ, you can't support sheamus to be champ, and you sure as hell cannot support Brock lesnar as champ. If you wanna have a conversation about who should be pushed as champ you can't involve the rookies. They must be kept out of the title picture until they've paid their dues and are no longer rookies.
@RateDTD It's like surfing the internet. you go to this site and that site and unfortunately all those sites are full of crappy and annoying pop up ads. you can get all the software you want but it's not gonna stop them from making their stupid pop-ups. They're gonna keep making them whether you want them or not so you are actually being forced to accept having pop-ups pop up while you're surfing.
@RateDTD No you're gonna tell that waiter or cook to take that piece of crap back and bring you something that's edible! Same thing goes for wrestling. If WWE is gonna do a half-assed job in making him champion then to hell with feeling sorry for him and to hell with his talent and abilities cuz I didn't buy a ticket to gamble on a rookie champion who might have talent and skill. I paid to see WWE deliver a guaranteed complete package dude!
@RateDTD It's like this. I can only go by what they're trying to sell. if what they're selling is not something I wanna buy then I'm gonna tell them to take it back. If you go to a restaurant and they serve you a pasta and chicken dish that's half-cooked or has a fly or a roach in it you're not gonna eat the food just to take pity on the poor waiter or cook because he's a good cook or waiter who had a bad day and didn't have time to cook or clean the kitchen right?
@RateDTD And let's not forget his title shots against Edge and Christian counted against him because of his unrealistically being jumpstarted ahead of everybody (the overused shock value if you will) and the fact that 3 times WWE retracted their decision to give him the title. Sure that would reduce him somewhat but it was the right call none theless. You can't excuse his easy ride to the main event just like you can't excuse Lesnar's free ride to the main event. That's a no-no no matter what
@RateDTD My money is on the latter because if you put him in the ring with top guys he looks like gold (or in lesnar's case fool's gold). Put him in the ring with the undercard and he's completely lost in the ring so the only way to save face is to have Lesnar squash them and make him look like some unstoppable monster. Keep in mind, this is exactly how they handled Sheamus's main event push.
@AAAnderson3 You are right. It is not enough ingredients. He should've wait for a little while. He hasn't done enough. I am not arguing with you about that. But I am guessing that you think taht he has no talent to be an WWE wrestler. Also, you should not blame this one the WWE wrestlers. If you want someone to blame, blame the WWE booking team. They are the ones who are pushing wrestlers and they are the ones who give these wrestlers a title shot, not Del Rio himself.
@AAAnderson3 Even he had the same feud, his match were still very exciting and he can go toe to toe with some of the biggest wrestlers at this time. I think he got 2 title shots, one with Edge and another with Christian. And what is wrong with speaking Spanish? Rey Mysterio also cuts his promos in Spanish as well, and so did Eddie Guerrero. Nothing wrong with connecting to Mexican audiences.
@RateDTD And another thing if you're suggesting that Del Rio should win the title from Cena under those circumstances then you're doing it for all the wrong reasons. Being tired of Cena is not a valid reason to have him lose the title to someone who hasn't been sufficiently built as a main eventer. The belt has to go to the one has been properly built no exceptions so Del Rio is out. it's that simple.
@AAAnderson3 Lesnar might not have a great mic skills, but he did get the crowd behind him or hated him as well. Like I said, it all depends on whether you are a Face or Heel. If you are able to play that character well, you are off to a good start. Like I said, Lesnar botched many matches. I never said he was perfect. Batista and Goldberg (I am assuming that you like both of them) botched matces as well, especially Goldberg.
@AAAnderson3 Are you sure you are not Sweeper? Because you are saying the exact same thing as him. You are saying taht nobody cares about him, but there are a lot of people who actually like Del Rio. I am one of them. I do agree that he should not have won the RR this year and fought in the main event in WM. but he always attack the most liked wrestlers in WWE and that's what makes him one of the most hatred wrestlers in WWE (which means he is being a great heel).
@RateDTD As for his ring skills, armbar and a few kicks. Not really main event worthy by any means. I'm sorry but your assessment of Lesnar and del rio are completely way off base. I advise you to re-evaluate your assessment of those guys and ignore the hearsay that the internet puts out on their stupid websites like pwtorch and pwinsider cuz the way they evaluate talent is like a blind man trying to drive a car.
Del Rio is beyond awesome!! I love to see the "real" side of him like this. I just love listening to him speak all together lol! Awesome interview!! :D
@RateDTD As for Del Rio getting the crowd behind him, so far he's only got the fans in Mexico behind him (so they say) but here in the states nobody cares whether he lives or dies. Excellent mic skills? 98% Spanish and only 2% Engish well you don't have to ask which part the Mexican fans are into which leaves the 2% for us American fans to sit through and since none of us is gonna understand the 98% he's saying only 2% of us fans are gonna give a crap about what he's saying.
@AAAnderson3 Lesnar were able to show these abilities when he was WWE champion. Say what you will about him, but he actually put on a great match against some of the biggest WWE wrestlers at the time (Kurt Angle, The Rock, Undertaker). I'm not saying Lesnar is perfect because he botched many matches, but he has more talented than Batista (and I supposed that you like Batista more than Lesnar because Batista "paid his due").
@AAAnderson3 YOu can actually make this argument against Cena as well. Cena may have paid his due (whatever you think it is), but for the past couple of years, he has been boring and his character is stale. I don't even hate Cena like so many others and I can see that. They are building him as "super hero"-quality and it is not working. At least Del Rio matches are exciting to watch, even if he only been there for about 10 months now.
@AAAnderson3 No, I am not only focusing on their rign abilities,but of course there are other elements as well. This includes how well your perform in the ring, can you get the crowd behind you in anyway (depending on the characters), do you have excellent mic skills, can you work with others without getting yourself injured and/or injured somebody else, and others. Lesnar, Bryan, and Del Rio have all of that (not Sheamus). And forget the longtivity for a moment.
@RateDTD w/o experience there is no paying dues. U can't pay dues in a short time. There's just no such thing. Yeah I know it's more than longevity but longevity is crucial in establishing that there was a finished product and not some unrefined misshapen lowbudget piece of junk that was thrown together at the last minute. U say you look at the whole picture then let me ask you this.
@RateDTD If you're gonna buy a ticket for a RAW, Smackdown or PPV event that has a half-baked Sheamus, Lesnar, or Del Rio as main eventers remember these 2 words Caveat Emptor. After all you wouldn't pay full price for an incomplete movie or an incomplete TV, or an incomplete car, or an incomplete computer right? So why would you wanna pay full price for an incomplete main event that has an incomplete champion?
@AAAnderson3 Actually, no. I don't. I have known people who don' t think that Lesnar or Sheamus is a talented wrestler. But it is not because they have not "paid their dues". They based it on their ring abilities, their charasma, and many other factors. I am not saying that is giving them the rights to jump start everyone else. But I am saying that it just because they accomplished something too fast, does not mean they don't have the abilities to prove it (except for Sheamus)
@AAAnderson3 I agree. But for your information, I never once trashed Sweeper. As a matter of fact, he was the one who trashed me because I have "different opinions". But he did not realize that my opinions and his opinions are not that different. It is similar. He like one wrestler, I like the other wreslter. Taht does not mean I know more than him or he knows more than me. I will never trash the fans. If you don't like these 3 wrestlers, that is fine by me.
@RateDTD I'll tell you what. Do you want my honest assessment of those three? Make you a deal. If I tell you then you have to agree not to trash me, sweeper, or anybody else that comes against those three wrestlers or their fans. Look I'm being straight with you here. What i say about those 3 is why the WWE is losing so much money. They're looking for a quick fix but their instant champions are not fixing anything. Can't you see that?
@RateDTD And if I say no? What are you gonna do? Keep accusing me of being sweeper? Do you really believe the whole world considers Lesnar, del rio, and sheamus decent wrestlers? you say everyone has their own opinions. Don't you think it's kind of obtuse to think just because one guy thinks a certain wrestler (or 2 or 3 wrestlers) is decent that everyone else is gonna agree with it?
@AAAnderson3 Trust me, I am not here to mock you. But it is not coincidence that both you and Sweeper have similar dislike for the exact same reasons. If you are not Sweeper, then prove it. Tell me this; do you think that Sheamus, Lesnar, and even Del Rio are talented wrestlers, or at least decent? Just answer the question. Don't think about paying dues or whatever. Think of their wrestling abilities.
@AAAnderson3 Oh, no. I am not brain dead. Sure, people have similar opinions, and that is cool. But to hate the same people (Brock Lensar & Sheamus) and for the exact same reason (not "paying their dues"). let me ask you this, do you think that Brock Lesnar and Sheamus have talent, like any talent whatsoever. Do you think that they are good, or at least, decent wrestlers? I could hate Sheamus (which I do), but I think he is decent.
@AAAnderson002 i agree that sheamus and swagger are not very good. i wouldnt call them garbage but they arent very good and cant draw a dime. now let me set something strait, im not here to argue with anyone. i just love talking wrestling. i will say this though alberto is far from garbage man. he is good stuff and wwe thinks he can draw money obviously or wouldnt be putting him in main events. ADR is very very good man i dont think he deserves to be called garbage
@gabychilo Morrison does not suck Del rio has paid no Dues in wwe hes been handed everything has not earned a damn thing And no del rio has not paid more dues then christian . Yes i do know about wrestling and all this del rio does and kicks and arm moves nothing impressive . This is not mexico he has not paid his dues and he has shown these wrestling skills . as far as ur last comment about usa wrestling entertainment idk wtf ur on about there But w.e
actually christian started wrestling only a couple of years before adr. in my opinion both have paid their dues and the match at extreme rules should be a triple threat. maybe wwe thinks christian would draw as much as adr or edge and thats why he hasnt won the world heavyweight belt. remember i said maybe thats wwe's opinion on the draw not mine. personally i like adr alot and i think he would make a great heel champ but they already have one of those right now....the miz
@TheStranglehold U really dont know anything about wrestling del rio has not paid in dues in wwe hes being handed everything on a silver plate christian and morrison have paid their dues and still are u dont know what paying ur dues are christian busted his ass for wwe for 15 years he has won every major title and hell hes even won 2 world titles so yes he has paid his dues
@AAAnderson001 I don't think he flopped. In the beginning of his US Title reign, the fans were strongly behind him and Bryan was just being Bryan, wrestle his ass off and giving what the fans want. I would say two thing messed it up for him; the fact that he held the title too long (could've lost it during SS to DiBiase) and the Bella Twins (things always go bad around them). I agree that Bryan was pushed too fast, but I still see good future in him in the WWE, that is if they dont screw it up.
@AAAnderson001 Well, neither do I. I admit, Del Rio has been pushed too fast, but he still has talent and he is great on the mic. I'm not saying he should've won the RR because he shouldn't. But after amount of heat and that fact that he can go toe to toe with some of the best wrestlers in the ring, I can see why they push him. Still, he should've won the IC Champ at first and not win the RR. As for DB, I did wanted him to lose the US title, but not to Sheamus. Sheamus sucks.
@AAAnderson001 Rediculous ideas? lol I haven't presented one idea buddy. All I've done is defend the WWE's decisions. Cody Rhodes? Ted Dibiase? Wouldn't be there if it werent for their fathers. Evan bourne is exactly where needs to be: a high flyer inthe mid card. Christian? We alrady covered him, case closed. What is wrong with today's average wrestling fan is personafied in your rediculous posts, ala the ones burying Alberto Del Rio just because you haven't seen him on prime time tv.
@AAAnderson001 fool? Are you serious? WE ARE ARGUING ABOUT WRESTLING ON RUclips, and you're going to say that YOU'RE NOT A MARK. You're the fool, fool! lol. That's the thing, you kiddos have made the word "mark" into a dirty word. You are a mark. I am a mark. EVERYONE HERE IS A MARK. Do you work? Do you hit the road? no, you don't. I used to, and I don't anymore, so that makes me a mark! lol stop it. I can't just keep owning you like this.
@AAAnderson001 On a closing note, do you recall that the Rock won his first world title less than three years in the BUSINESS (not just in the WWE)? Hows that for pushed to the top. Or Austin winning his first world title just 2 years in WWE. Del Rio can work. Period. He's a heel, and you boo him. I don't care what kind of heat you want to call it. You can't POSSIBLY think you're spiel to me can garner a "checkmate."
@AAAnderson001 Checkmate? You're not even close to stalemate, buddy. You talk like you know, but you are so far off with your arguments I'm surprised I even responded to your long winded spiel. Christian is being held back because he went over to the competition and won their world title. HE DECIDED TO COME BACK (Guess WWE isn't that bad, huh?). You think they're going to push him to main event? No, that's not smart business. Keep him midcard and make TNA look like the pony show they are.
@AAAnderson001 Oh, so NOW you work? Strange, I've never heard of "go away" heat. That was like the nimwits back in the 90's who said Hollywood Hogan got similiar heat, however he got HUGE HUGE HUGE responses when he came back to the WWE. Del Rio isn't a "noob," he WIDELY respected in Mexico. Why is that not a justified argument? Lesnar? You think he was unworthy as well? You're crazy. Talk about morrison? They're waiting for the right moment with that kid. He'll be up there.
Fact: Alberto del Rio is a heel. Therefore, if you hate him, that kind of makes him defacto awesome for doing his job. I know I can't stand his personality, but he's definitely making the whole thing more interesting to watch. I was shocked when he won the rumble (I always root for Swagger because I think a patriotic asshole is a great idea), but I love watching his rolling cross armbreaker and his Mexican sex undies as I call them make me giggle. Dude is a good addition to the WWE.
This guy is fukin badass. I stopped watching wwe when The Rock left in 03. I didnt stop watching completely till Cena was the top guy, nothing against Cena but he's no Stone Cold, The Rock, HBK, Undertaker, HHH, Bret Hart, Kurt Angle, Sting, Goldberg or Hogan. Del Rio really is a JBL mixed with some Kurt Angel, a little Santana, topped with some of The Rock both hollywood and corporate. shemus, cm punk, edge are all champs that i dont really care for. I'll be very upset the day he turns face.
krado sesne i cant find ur reply on here ill reply this way. me a fanboy? i respect the rock and hbk i was never huge fans of theirs but i do respect the, and for u or anyone else to say del rio is gonna be a bigger name then the rock and hbk is insane and stupid . del rio may be a true champion in the future but right now hes boring as hell now maybe if wwe would let him show alll his skills id like him but from what iv seen he is not entertaining
what i like about del rio is that he has alot of experience but he is still young.. he obviously respects the biz.. he also may be young but, he doesn't look like a rookie.. i like some of what wwe is doing talent-wise.. they are getting guys who are having good competitive matches instead of using the top guys so much.. i think wwe should look more at roh's talent because it looks like roh is burnt out in creativity.. wwe needs a more serious product though with all of the young talent
Alberto is great. He's totally into his work and has the skills to sustain his gimmick. I'm totally happy he's receiving this HUGE push. Just for the record: Valente Pérez was the creator of the Mil Máscaras and Tinieblas characters, just like Alberto said. He was not, however, the creator of Blue Demon, which is an older character than those which were beautifully created by Mr. Pérez.
You're right, the biggest draw in the history of wrestling until Stone Cold, and the longest run as a top draw (84-06) is nothing. You may not like the Hulkster, but he IS wrestling. It may sound cliche, but people who have never seen wrestling know it's "the thing Hulk Hogan does". I'm sure you're next answer would be Cena. Put the bias aside.
It would be a lot better if they were allowed to work to their potential. Del Rio can do so many different things that he hasn't even begun to show in the WWE. Sheamus just needs to turn up the volume on that brawler aspect of his work. If these two were allowed to go with no reins on them, I guarantee you'd have an incredible match
@RateDTD Yes I do believe he's evil because he doesn't care what he ruins as long he comes out looking good after the fact. But that's not exactly what I meant when I said the lesser of 2 evils. Seriously do you even know what that expression means? And what's your beef with HBK? Do you not know the kind of man he is now compared to back in the Attitude era?
3:25 "This is clearly a really big deal"
Fairly quickly?
Great interview. Alberto is the next big thing. Great look, great on the mic, untouchabl in the ring.
I don't really like the idea that this guy call's wrestler god's?:P
lol He has made me interested in wrestling again...more please!!!
Haha he is great.Being heel is so much better than being a face
@mollysmallfry
Omg you are the luckiest woman ever!! I totally envy you. But now that I think about it, I want to do more than just makeout with him. ;). But I swear, he is the most charming guy in the WWE right now,( next to Wade Barrett.) gosh, I get weak in the knees cause that wink is contagious. It really made me go weak in the knees. I really had to sit down after watching him do the wink
@Roody4594 Lol right the one thing crocop is known for is his kicks and he's done that to alot of great fighters. People just like to talk shit but see if they'd get up from a Mirko kick. CroCop may not be what he what he used to be but at that time when he taught Alberto he was at his prime
He lied in a couple things, about the third generation, because at least his grandfather wasn't a luchador, maybe a greco roman or olympic amateur, but not Luchador, and about "Valente Pérez", te man who desing the Dos Caras mask, but not the Blue Demon Mask.
this is Dos Caras Jr without the mask of course.
Hmm he seems like a decent dude...but I still dont like his character. His mic skills are fairly good 7/10. Charisma 2/10 booing isnt charisma thats heat. Wrestling Skill 6/10. He is pretty good. but not great.
@AAAnderson001 I don't support him and I prefer Christian and any other wrestlers from the 90s, all I said is he seems like a nice person in real life, and I know for a fact I know much more about wrestling than you anyday
i love Ricardo Rodriguez intro when he says: Albertooooo....Del Riiooooooooo!!
Alberto also a great wrestler,great charisma...i would say Eddie 2,but no one can replace him! RIP
@LuchaLibreFanboy eeeeeeem, pero yo lo dije, el nombre del sujeto es Valente Pérez, quién diseño la máscara de Dos Caras, Sicodelico, Tinieblas e hizo el concurso para la máscara de Mil Máscaras. y señalé que el no diseño la máscara de Blue Demon como Dos Caras Jr. comenta.
Actually very talented, charismatic, great on the mic, ADR is almost the total package. I can see him getting the WWE championship in the very near future.
Everybody may hate "Alberto del Rio", but with this interview, most of you gotta love the person that is Alberto Rodriguez (his real name), one really humble guy.
@thepoopstinks1 how is he better in anyway. of course the accolades but that is because he has been there longer. but that is no reason to say that alberto is a disgrace to mexico. i am not debating about you liking eddie better. i am debating that alberto is not a disgrace. also chavo should not be doing that because he cannot carry eddie's legacy. alberto isn't trying to do that. he is showing classiness not copying anyone.btw eddie became a legend only because he died and they felt sorry.
Listen and listen good:
Alberto is the face of the wwe. I was starting to lose interest in wwe but then this guy showed up and I got totally hooked. This guy is a bad guy but has a personality like no other. No more of the cena face. Don't get me wrong I like cena and all, I feel he is a good role model for kids, donating a ton of money to charity. I even wore a shirt when I went to the rumble, but Del rio is the real deal!
@thepoopstinks1 well if you think he sucks because everyone boo's him then i guess you are saying that eddie guerrero sucks because most of eddie's career he was bood because he was a heel. remember when he was against rey mysterio?
remember when he was against rob van dam, the rock, ric flair, edge, and a whole bunch of other people?
alberto is not a disgrace. he won the fricken royal rumble! thats amazing. i am honored that he is one of my people
@BloodPump i understand that. but thats way he gave mexicans a bad image. doesn't that seem bad to you. i am not saying that he really did steal cars cuz then he would have been in jail. but his gimmick gave mexicans a bad image. thats what i ment to say just this time it is in different words. also i did say that i was sorry
Get a new camera man!
he might rub people the wrong way behind the scenes from time to time because he thinks he knows more about how to do things and might even insist on being the one in charge. He's diplomatic though and that might diffuse things somewhat. I could see tensions with Cena over who thinks they know more.
my boy he is the scar face of wrestling
@TheEbhagzzz untouchabl in the ring ?? He is not better than Randy Orton,Chris Jericho,Edge ... I do not eveb thing than Daniel Brayan
@AAAnderson001 well brock lesnar , kane and ric flair prove that theory wrong. But
Either way i don't want him to become wwe world champion yet either and im happy they didn't put the belt on wade barrett too, they both need to be built up more.
@cruiser1990 yeah but the wwe pushed him way too fast way to soon and when he became champ he didn't draw much money, that's why they took the belt from him and gave it to punk. but he's got a decent gimmick at least.
@AAAnderson002 WWE is Hollywood, the match was a fake. That victory at Wrestlemania was for Edge in the first time, all was planned since that day when Del Rio win the RR.
Awesome interview. Rosenberg has thee best wrestling (and HipHop) interviews.
Del Rio is one of those characters that will be legendary. Seems like a really good dude too.
Awesome heel, Awesome Luchador, everything is Awesome about him. Very cool guy and respectful, just imagine him being drunk, he'd probably imitate Ricardo Rodriguez
It's kinda funny that Del Rio was a babyface most recently for about 6 months but the babyface wasn't good at all so WWE turns him back int a heel at Payback.
Totally agree, they definitely need to freshen up his character somehow. Rodriguez would be a huge help with the transition too since he's such a fun personality.
I noticed on Smackdown last friday that Alberto was slapping hands with a few people in the audience... Kinda shocked me a little bit to see it cuz that's obviously not heelish behavior, especially for an "everyone is below me" type heel like Del Rio. Here's hoping!
Hogan was very over as early as 1980 and got a role in "Rocky" while he was in AWA. And he went on to become far more popular than Cena ever will be. Hogan isn't overrated at all, he just catches crap from internet nerds, "Good worker" means "good at working the crowd" and every wrestler I've ever heard agrees. By that definition, it's impossible to overrate Hogan. And I'm not even a big Hulk fan
Albert Del Rio you can be full blooded Mexican and be Mexican American. Dumb comment. It has nothing to do with blood it has to do with you being the first Mexican to win from Mexico.
Cain Velasquez is the first Heavyweight UFC Champion who is Mexican American and I doubt anyone would challenge his Mexican ancestry or Lineage. People forget the history of the Southwest and how many of the states use to belong to Mexico & many people of Mexican ancestry stayed on this side when it was sold.
Like Del Rio is saying, he was a God in Mexico. People don't understand that Del Rio (Dos Caras Jr), Sin Cara (Mistico) and Konnan were HUGE stars. Santo is the father of Lucha Libre, but ADR's family are a big deal
For example, did you know that in 2007, Sin Cara was the highest drawing wrestler in the world? He drew more than John Cena without worldwide exposure or the WWE machine. And Konnan was in 94, but you'd never think it. ADR is far from a chump...just underutilized and mishandled.
@secret212000 If youre defining his skills just from his fight against Mirko then you know as much as if you believed that earth is the center of the universe.
Mirko was in his prime and alberto got caught from his special kick which no fighter recovered once connected ergo he didnt have the chance to trouble Cro cop.with his grabs. Also Cro cop has retired and Alberto is still in the show
@AAAnderson3 First of all, Big Show lost because he could not continue the match. He did not submit him. Get your fact straight. Second, even if he did submit him, why is it impossible? Big Show has tapped out to a lot of submissions, even to John Cena's STFU. But I guess because he is a noobie that it is impossible for Alberto Del Rio to beat the Big Show. Let me tell you this; if it is possible for Rey Mysterio to beat the Big Show, I don't see why not Alberto Del Rio.
@AAAnderson3 I have no beef with HBK. As a matter of fact, he is one of my favorite wrestlers. But even so, I am not blind by the fact that he is arrogant and he has a huge ego. There is nothing wrong with admitting the flaws of your favorite wrestlers. It only means that you recognize them as Human and they make mistakes, just like everyone else. But they are also professional at what they do and that is why I have huge respect for these wrestlers.
@RateDTD
And another thing what's this BS about Del Rio beating Big Show my submission at Capitol Punishment? On his best day he can never beat Big Show.. It's like I said before, laziness on the part of WWE creative. If the only way to make Del Rio look like a main event threat is to have him beat Big Show in a match then he was never a real main event threat to begin with. WWE creative screws up yet again what should've been a slow healthy build up for Del Rio. They just never learn.
@RateDTD
I'm not saying Mark Henry should main event. I'm saying if it all comes down to deciding whether Mark Henry or lesnar should win the title from the current champion then the current champion should stay the current champion because neither Lesnar or Mark Henry are good choices for putting the belt on. In a choice like that there is no lesser of 2 evils cuz neither is capable of bringing up new talent.
@RateDTD
Except being better than Mark Henry doesn't really count for anything cuz Mark Henry has never had a push in his entire career. As for Lesnar being a great performer who can actually wrestle I have yet to see anything from him besides generic big man power moves that we've seen probably a million times already from just about every big man WWE has ever put in front of us.
@AAAnderson3 You are right, you are promoted based on your performance, but that is not only thing they are looking for. Performance is the key, and Lesner is a much better wrestler and performer than Henry. I do think Lesnar cut it as Champion. He was a great performer and he can actually wrestle against the biggest and the best wrestlers at the time.
I agree, they should've give him Daniel Bryan a proper build up, but don't count him out.
@Gurkenfasn01
No I don't know that cuz nobody has proven that. Mysterio u could make a case for cuz he made a name for himself in Mexico, ECW, WCW, and WWE so it makes sense for the fans to stand behind him. Del Rio has only done Mexico which nobody follows so it makes no sense for him to get any fan support right now. Your problem is you're showing favoritism towards Mexico and its wrestlers. That kills your whole argument right there.
@RateDTD
Ur gonna be promoted based on your performance for the company you're currently working for. Am I right or am I wrong? And another thing if it all comes down to putting the title on Lesnar or Mark Henry then it's better to keep the title where it is cuz Lesnar just doesn't cut it as WWE champion. It's that simple.
Oh and BTW what they're doing with Daniel Bryan right now is what they should've done instead of slapping the US title on him fresh out of NXT. Proper build up remember?
@AAAnderson3 Why you hate the indies? Because that is where many wrestlers develops? Did you know that many wrestlers came from the indies world, including Cena and CM Punk? You probably only like them becasue they "paid their dues". I agree, Lesnar should've waited, but he does have amatuer background, same as Angle (whether they won the Olympic Medal or not). You probably like Mark Henry since he participated in Olympics, but I honestly whether see Lesnar as Champion than Mark Henry.
@AAAnderson3 No, I am not saying that at all. I am saying that if they could put on a show and get the crowd behind them, what is wrong with them being champion? My favorite wrestler is Kurt Angle and he won both the Intercontinental Champion and the European Champion within four months of his career and he is still considered one of the best wrestlers of all time. Hell, he won the WWE Champion in less than a year.
@RateDTD
And again he does not have crowd support. You show me a video here on youtube where Del Rio is getting crowd support and I'll believe you but you haven't so I'm not gonna believe you. you talk about having great feuds. What great feuds did he have? He only feuded with Rey Mysterio that's all.
And another thing I ain't avoiding anything. The problem with you is you're seeing more in Del Rio than what is really there.
@Gurkenfasn01
His days in Mexico don't matter. What matters is the present. And in the present he hasn't been a better wrestler than Christian, Cena, or Orton. You can talk about his so-called mic skills and charisma until you're blue in the face but until WWE no longer needs to pipe in an artificial crowd reaction for del rio or until he starts doing more than repeat the word destiny a thousand times and use stolen cars to run over giants he will never matter in the WWE universe.
@AAAnderson3 Avoiding questions yet again. Why can't you just answer it. YOu don't have to make it difficult. But I'll answer your question. If a wrestler can put on a great match, if he can work with others well, if he have great mic skills, if he can get the crowd by his side, and if he had great feuds (along with great matches) with high-profile wrestlers, then yes, he can be Champion. I don't see why not. Now just answer my question.
@Gurkenfasn01
They need to use him to build up the midcard division (give him the US or IC title) first cuz right now it's at its weakest. It's all about proper build up from midcard to main event and giving somebody 3 free title shots on Smackdown is not what I would call proper build up to main event status. Maybe you need go watch videos of when Austin and HBK were midcarders so you'll understand the importance of a proper build up.
@Gurkenfasn01
The fans are smarter that (at least I hope they are). They're not gonna flock to some no-namer just because he's having a feud with Cena. Look what happened to the Miz and how quickly he lost momentum in the main event scene. Even if the fans get behind del rio (which I doubt will happen) his momentum will quickly slow down the moment his feud with Cena is over cuz they haven't really bothered to build up anybody else so really this is not the time to give Del Rio the title.
@RateDTD
Let me ask you this. Where is the value in an instant champion? Where is the value in a guy having to do very little to win a championship? Can't you see that instant champions only serve to discredit and devalue both the championship and the previous title holders who actually had to work for it? Not to mention it also devalues and discredits the guys who are currrently working hard to get it. Why can't you see that?
@RateDTD
"don't you get tired of this. Just constantly whining on RUclips video about Del Rio or Lesnar."
I've shown nothing but civility throughout this whole debate and you think you can come around here and start mocking me with disrespectful garbage like that? Let me tell you something friend. I don't whine. I speak the truth and I say what needs to be said. That doesn't make me a whiner by any means.
@ShantyIrishman Yea that's actually pretty surprising 'cause he's all full of himself on tv but he seems pretty shy and laid back. That contrast is really cool.
@RateDTD
Except there are no rookies to fit that bill. There never has been and it's unlikely there ever will be because it's the waiting that makes it possible to work on getting the crowd behind you, refining your ring skills, and sharpening your mic skills. That's what the waiting time is for. Can't you see that? It's your RUSH RUSH RUSH mentality that invites sloppiness in the ring, sloppiness on the mic, and the rejection of fans. Remember the old saying, haste makes waste.
@RateDTD
Neither Christian, John Cena, R-truth, Rey Mysterio, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase, John Morrison, or Randy Orton are burnt out veterans. And furthermore, the only time a rookie can be champion is when there are no experienced people left on the roster to run with the belt and that's a very extreme but rare set of circumstances that has never happened in the history of pro-wrestling.
@RateDTD
If you don't want me giving you hell then start caring about paying dues and don't ever support a rookie as champion.You can't support Del Rio to be champ, you can't support sheamus to be champ, and you sure as hell cannot support Brock lesnar as champ. If you wanna have a conversation about who should be pushed as champ you can't involve the rookies. They must be kept out of the title picture until they've paid their dues and are no longer rookies.
@RateDTD
It's like surfing the internet. you go to this site and that site and unfortunately all those sites are full of crappy and annoying pop up ads. you can get all the software you want but it's not gonna stop them from making their stupid pop-ups. They're gonna keep making them whether you want them or not so you are actually being forced to accept having pop-ups pop up while you're surfing.
@RateDTD
No you're gonna tell that waiter or cook to take that piece of crap back and bring you something that's edible! Same thing goes for wrestling. If WWE is gonna do a half-assed job in making him champion then to hell with feeling sorry for him and to hell with his talent and abilities cuz I didn't buy a ticket to gamble on a rookie champion who might have talent and skill. I paid to see WWE deliver a guaranteed complete package dude!
@RateDTD
It's like this. I can only go by what they're trying to sell. if what they're selling is not something I wanna buy then I'm gonna tell them to take it back. If you go to a restaurant and they serve you a pasta and chicken dish that's half-cooked or has a fly or a roach in it you're not gonna eat the food just to take pity on the poor waiter or cook because he's a good cook or waiter who had a bad day and didn't have time to cook or clean the kitchen right?
@RateDTD
And let's not forget his title shots against Edge and Christian counted against him because of his unrealistically being jumpstarted ahead of everybody (the overused shock value if you will) and the fact that 3 times WWE retracted their decision to give him the title. Sure that would reduce him somewhat but it was the right call none theless. You can't excuse his easy ride to the main event just like you can't excuse Lesnar's free ride to the main event. That's a no-no no matter what
@RateDTD
My money is on the latter because if you put him in the ring with top guys he looks like gold (or in lesnar's case fool's gold). Put him in the ring with the undercard and he's completely lost in the ring so the only way to save face is to have Lesnar squash them and make him look like some unstoppable monster. Keep in mind, this is exactly how they handled Sheamus's main event push.
@AAAnderson3 You are right. It is not enough ingredients. He should've wait for a little while. He hasn't done enough. I am not arguing with you about that. But I am guessing that you think taht he has no talent to be an WWE wrestler. Also, you should not blame this one the WWE wrestlers. If you want someone to blame, blame the WWE booking team. They are the ones who are pushing wrestlers and they are the ones who give these wrestlers a title shot, not Del Rio himself.
@AAAnderson3 Even he had the same feud, his match were still very exciting and he can go toe to toe with some of the biggest wrestlers at this time. I think he got 2 title shots, one with Edge and another with Christian. And what is wrong with speaking Spanish? Rey Mysterio also cuts his promos in Spanish as well, and so did Eddie Guerrero. Nothing wrong with connecting to Mexican audiences.
@RateDTD
And another thing if you're suggesting that Del Rio should win the title from Cena under those circumstances then you're doing it for all the wrong reasons. Being tired of Cena is not a valid reason to have him lose the title to someone who hasn't been sufficiently built as a main eventer. The belt has to go to the one has been properly built no exceptions so Del Rio is out. it's that simple.
@AAAnderson3 Lesnar might not have a great mic skills, but he did get the crowd behind him or hated him as well. Like I said, it all depends on whether you are a Face or Heel. If you are able to play that character well, you are off to a good start. Like I said, Lesnar botched many matches. I never said he was perfect. Batista and Goldberg (I am assuming that you like both of them) botched matces as well, especially Goldberg.
@AAAnderson3 Are you sure you are not Sweeper? Because you are saying the exact same thing as him. You are saying taht nobody cares about him, but there are a lot of people who actually like Del Rio. I am one of them. I do agree that he should not have won the RR this year and fought in the main event in WM. but he always attack the most liked wrestlers in WWE and that's what makes him one of the most hatred wrestlers in WWE (which means he is being a great heel).
@RateDTD
As for his ring skills, armbar and a few kicks. Not really main event worthy by any means. I'm sorry but your assessment of Lesnar and del rio are completely way off base. I advise you to re-evaluate your assessment of those guys and ignore the hearsay that the internet puts out on their stupid websites like pwtorch and pwinsider cuz the way they evaluate talent is like a blind man trying to drive a car.
Del Rio is beyond awesome!! I love to see the "real" side of him like this. I just love listening to him speak all together lol! Awesome interview!! :D
@RateDTD
As for Del Rio getting the crowd behind him, so far he's only got the fans in Mexico behind him (so they say) but here in the states nobody cares whether he lives or dies. Excellent mic skills? 98% Spanish and only 2% Engish well you don't have to ask which part the Mexican fans are into which leaves the 2% for us American fans to sit through and since none of us is gonna understand the 98% he's saying only 2% of us fans are gonna give a crap about what he's saying.
@AAAnderson3 Lesnar were able to show these abilities when he was WWE champion. Say what you will about him, but he actually put on a great match against some of the biggest WWE wrestlers at the time (Kurt Angle, The Rock, Undertaker). I'm not saying Lesnar is perfect because he botched many matches, but he has more talented than Batista (and I supposed that you like Batista more than Lesnar because Batista "paid his due").
@AAAnderson3 YOu can actually make this argument against Cena as well. Cena may have paid his due (whatever you think it is), but for the past couple of years, he has been boring and his character is stale. I don't even hate Cena like so many others and I can see that. They are building him as "super hero"-quality and it is not working. At least Del Rio matches are exciting to watch, even if he only been there for about 10 months now.
@AAAnderson3 No, I am not only focusing on their rign abilities,but of course there are other elements as well. This includes how well your perform in the ring, can you get the crowd behind you in anyway (depending on the characters), do you have excellent mic skills, can you work with others without getting yourself injured and/or injured somebody else, and others. Lesnar, Bryan, and Del Rio have all of that (not Sheamus). And forget the longtivity for a moment.
@RateDTD
w/o experience there is no paying dues. U can't pay dues in a short time. There's just no such thing. Yeah I know it's more than longevity but longevity is crucial in establishing that there was a finished product and not some unrefined misshapen lowbudget piece of junk that was thrown together at the last minute. U say you look at the whole picture then let me ask you this.
@RateDTD
If you're gonna buy a ticket for a RAW, Smackdown or PPV event that has a half-baked Sheamus, Lesnar, or Del Rio as main eventers remember these 2 words Caveat Emptor. After all you wouldn't pay full price for an incomplete movie or an incomplete TV, or an incomplete car, or an incomplete computer right? So why would you wanna pay full price for an incomplete main event that has an incomplete champion?
@AAAnderson3 Actually, no. I don't. I have known people who don' t think that Lesnar or Sheamus is a talented wrestler. But it is not because they have not "paid their dues". They based it on their ring abilities, their charasma, and many other factors. I am not saying that is giving them the rights to jump start everyone else. But I am saying that it just because they accomplished something too fast, does not mean they don't have the abilities to prove it (except for Sheamus)
@AAAnderson3 I agree. But for your information, I never once trashed Sweeper. As a matter of fact, he was the one who trashed me because I have "different opinions". But he did not realize that my opinions and his opinions are not that different. It is similar. He like one wrestler, I like the other wreslter. Taht does not mean I know more than him or he knows more than me. I will never trash the fans. If you don't like these 3 wrestlers, that is fine by me.
@RateDTD
I'll tell you what. Do you want my honest assessment of those three? Make you a deal. If I tell you then you have to agree not to trash me, sweeper, or anybody else that comes against those three wrestlers or their fans. Look I'm being straight with you here. What i say about those 3 is why the WWE is losing so much money. They're looking for a quick fix but their instant champions are not fixing anything. Can't you see that?
@RateDTD
And if I say no? What are you gonna do? Keep accusing me of being sweeper? Do you really believe the whole world considers Lesnar, del rio, and sheamus decent wrestlers? you say everyone has their own opinions. Don't you think it's kind of obtuse to think just because one guy thinks a certain wrestler (or 2 or 3 wrestlers) is decent that everyone else is gonna agree with it?
@AAAnderson3 Trust me, I am not here to mock you. But it is not coincidence that both you and Sweeper have similar dislike for the exact same reasons. If you are not Sweeper, then prove it. Tell me this; do you think that Sheamus, Lesnar, and even Del Rio are talented wrestlers, or at least decent? Just answer the question. Don't think about paying dues or whatever. Think of their wrestling abilities.
@AAAnderson3 Oh, no. I am not brain dead. Sure, people have similar opinions, and that is cool. But to hate the same people (Brock Lensar & Sheamus) and for the exact same reason (not "paying their dues"). let me ask you this, do you think that Brock Lesnar and Sheamus have talent, like any talent whatsoever. Do you think that they are good, or at least, decent wrestlers? I could hate Sheamus (which I do), but I think he is decent.
@AAAnderson002 i agree that sheamus and swagger are not very good. i wouldnt call them garbage but they arent very good and cant draw a dime. now let me set something strait, im not here to argue with anyone. i just love talking wrestling. i will say this though alberto is far from garbage man. he is good stuff and wwe thinks he can draw money obviously or wouldnt be putting him in main events. ADR is very very good man i dont think he deserves to be called garbage
@gabychilo Morrison does not suck Del rio has paid no Dues in wwe hes been handed everything has not earned a damn thing And no del rio has not paid more dues then christian . Yes i do know about wrestling and all this del rio does and kicks and arm moves nothing impressive . This is not mexico he has not paid his dues and he has shown these wrestling skills . as far as ur last comment about usa wrestling entertainment idk wtf ur on about there But w.e
actually christian started wrestling only a couple of years before adr. in my opinion both have paid their dues and the match at extreme rules should be a triple threat. maybe wwe thinks christian would draw as much as adr or edge and thats why he hasnt won the world heavyweight belt. remember i said maybe thats wwe's opinion on the draw not mine. personally i like adr alot and i think he would make a great heel champ but they already have one of those right now....the miz
@TheStranglehold U really dont know anything about wrestling del rio has not paid in dues in wwe hes being handed everything on a silver plate christian and morrison have paid their dues and still are u dont know what paying ur dues are christian busted his ass for wwe for 15 years he has won every major title and hell hes even won 2 world titles so yes he has paid his dues
@AAAnderson001 I don't think he flopped. In the beginning of his US Title reign, the fans were strongly behind him and Bryan was just being Bryan, wrestle his ass off and giving what the fans want. I would say two thing messed it up for him; the fact that he held the title too long (could've lost it during SS to DiBiase) and the Bella Twins (things always go bad around them). I agree that Bryan was pushed too fast, but I still see good future in him in the WWE, that is if they dont screw it up.
@AAAnderson001 Well, neither do I. I admit, Del Rio has been pushed too fast, but he still has talent and he is great on the mic. I'm not saying he should've won the RR because he shouldn't. But after amount of heat and that fact that he can go toe to toe with some of the best wrestlers in the ring, I can see why they push him. Still, he should've won the IC Champ at first and not win the RR.
As for DB, I did wanted him to lose the US title, but not to Sheamus. Sheamus sucks.
@AAAnderson001 Rediculous ideas? lol I haven't presented one idea buddy. All I've done is defend the WWE's decisions. Cody Rhodes? Ted Dibiase? Wouldn't be there if it werent for their fathers. Evan bourne is exactly where needs to be: a high flyer inthe mid card. Christian? We alrady covered him, case closed. What is wrong with today's average wrestling fan is personafied in your rediculous posts, ala the ones burying Alberto Del Rio just because you haven't seen him on prime time tv.
@AAAnderson001 fool? Are you serious? WE ARE ARGUING ABOUT WRESTLING ON RUclips, and you're going to say that YOU'RE NOT A MARK. You're the fool, fool! lol. That's the thing, you kiddos have made the word "mark" into a dirty word. You are a mark. I am a mark. EVERYONE HERE IS A MARK. Do you work? Do you hit the road? no, you don't. I used to, and I don't anymore, so that makes me a mark! lol stop it. I can't just keep owning you like this.
@AAAnderson001 On a closing note, do you recall that the Rock won his first world title less than three years in the BUSINESS (not just in the WWE)? Hows that for pushed to the top. Or Austin winning his first world title just 2 years in WWE. Del Rio can work. Period. He's a heel, and you boo him. I don't care what kind of heat you want to call it. You can't POSSIBLY think you're spiel to me can garner a "checkmate."
@AAAnderson001 Checkmate? You're not even close to stalemate, buddy. You talk like you know, but you are so far off with your arguments I'm surprised I even responded to your long winded spiel. Christian is being held back because he went over to the competition and won their world title. HE DECIDED TO COME BACK (Guess WWE isn't that bad, huh?). You think they're going to push him to main event? No, that's not smart business. Keep him midcard and make TNA look like the pony show they are.
@AAAnderson001 Oh, so NOW you work? Strange, I've never heard of "go away" heat. That was like the nimwits back in the 90's who said Hollywood Hogan got similiar heat, however he got HUGE HUGE HUGE responses when he came back to the WWE. Del Rio isn't a "noob," he WIDELY respected in Mexico. Why is that not a justified argument? Lesnar? You think he was unworthy as well? You're crazy. Talk about morrison? They're waiting for the right moment with that kid. He'll be up there.
Fact: Alberto del Rio is a heel. Therefore, if you hate him, that kind of makes him defacto awesome for doing his job. I know I can't stand his personality, but he's definitely making the whole thing more interesting to watch. I was shocked when he won the rumble (I always root for Swagger because I think a patriotic asshole is a great idea), but I love watching his rolling cross armbreaker and his Mexican sex undies as I call them make me giggle. Dude is a good addition to the WWE.
This guy is fukin badass. I stopped watching wwe when The Rock left in 03. I didnt stop watching completely till Cena was the top guy, nothing against Cena but he's no Stone Cold, The Rock, HBK, Undertaker, HHH, Bret Hart, Kurt Angle, Sting, Goldberg or Hogan. Del Rio really is a JBL mixed with some Kurt Angel, a little Santana, topped with some of The Rock both hollywood and corporate. shemus, cm punk, edge are all champs that i dont really care for. I'll be very upset the day he turns face.
krado sesne i cant find ur reply on here ill reply this way. me a fanboy? i respect the rock and hbk i was never huge fans of theirs but i do respect the, and for u or anyone else to say del rio is gonna be a bigger name then the rock and hbk is insane and stupid . del rio may be a true champion in the future but right now hes boring as hell now maybe if wwe would let him show alll his skills id like him but from what iv seen he is not entertaining
what i like about del rio is that he has alot of experience but he is still young.. he obviously respects the biz.. he also may be young but, he doesn't look like a rookie.. i like some of what wwe is doing talent-wise.. they are getting guys who are having good competitive matches instead of using the top guys so much.. i think wwe should look more at roh's talent because it looks like roh is burnt out in creativity.. wwe needs a more serious product though with all of the young talent
Alberto is great. He's totally into his work and has the skills to sustain his gimmick. I'm totally happy he's receiving this HUGE push.
Just for the record: Valente Pérez was the creator of the Mil Máscaras and Tinieblas characters, just like Alberto said. He was not, however, the creator of Blue Demon, which is an older character than those which were beautifully created by Mr. Pérez.
Don't like him on WWE TV but he seems like a nice person in real life, I wouldn't mind meeting him in person
This is probably the only good thing the WWE has ever done in a long time.
His name is Alberto Del Rio!!!!
But you, you bitches already knew that!
You're right, the biggest draw in the history of wrestling until Stone Cold, and the longest run as a top draw (84-06) is nothing. You may not like the Hulkster, but he IS wrestling. It may sound cliche, but people who have never seen wrestling know it's "the thing Hulk Hogan does". I'm sure you're next answer would be Cena. Put the bias aside.
It would be a lot better if they were allowed to work to their potential. Del Rio can do so many different things that he hasn't even begun to show in the WWE. Sheamus just needs to turn up the volume on that brawler aspect of his work. If these two were allowed to go with no reins on them, I guarantee you'd have an incredible match
@RateDTD
Yes I do believe he's evil because he doesn't care what he ruins as long he comes out looking good after the fact. But that's not exactly what I meant when I said the lesser of 2 evils. Seriously do you even know what that expression means? And what's your beef with HBK? Do you not know the kind of man he is now compared to back in the Attitude era?
