This is a shocking release cause I thought he was gonna leave after his contract expired. Can't say I'm sad he's released.

I was a big ADR fan. Although I'm not that disappointed with his release since WWE wasn't doing anything interesting with him. He had a great run with a few good moments (Royal Rumble win, cashing in MITB on Punk and Wrestlemania). You could always count on him to put on a good match.
It just seems odd that WWE would announce why he was fired. This is certainly going to draw more attention to the situation.

WOW, I am legit shocked.
It's a shame really....so many things to say, but i'll just keep it short.
It's been reported a lot that Del Rio is kind of a prick. I'm REALLY curious as to what the story is behind this. He MUST have gotten in a legit backstage fight with someone high up. I've never heard of the WWE releasing anyone for that reason. Supposedly Del Rio's contract was up soon, maybe someone said something to him and he went off with a "nothing to lose" attitude?
It's a shame really. Guy was brought in immediately shot to the main event, had a real nice run and to be honest was one of the more entertaining guys on the roster. Then his gimmick was destroyed, everything "cool" about him on TV was removed, he was turned into a lame face, then turned back to a heel with no explanation and really has been treading water for over a year.
Either way we lost a truly great in-ring performer, that's the shitty part. But now maybe someone else will get a chance to get his spot....so it could still be a good thing.

Unlike so many others, I was a Del Rio fan. This really stinks, but I may change my tune once I find out what he did to justify this.

Welp.
At least his last match with Ambrose was great.

I think its unfortunate that he got released. He was a very talented in-ring technician and good all around wrestler. I really wasn't entertained by him as far as his character goes, I didnt care at all about him. But I liked seeing him wrestle every once in a while. All in all, I don't really care too much other than the surprise of the situation.
But I am not going to just jump to conclusions and assume/speculate on his actions. Whatever he did was unproffesional, and thats about all I know for now.

I was a huge fan of Alberto Del Rio throughout his first year on the roster. I was elated when he won the Royal Rumble match and even more when he won the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. When he returned in 2012 and had his never ending feud with Sheamus, that's when I lost interest in the guy. It sparked slightly with his face turn, but that was quickly over. I won't miss him much, but if the rumors are true and he did bitch slap Dunn, he went out like a ing trooper.

Del Rio was a decent wrestler but I can honestly say I only found him interesting a handful of times
- When he won the WWE Title at Summerslam 2011 - His face run as World Champion in 2013
I don't think he ever found his niche for WWE style wrestling. I hated the way they shoved him down our throats from his debut in 2011, I didn't think he should have come anywhere close to winning the 2011 Royal Rumble. It'll be interesting to see what exactly got him fired if we ever do find out.
