Doesn't surprise me, im actually a fan of the guy. What a lot of people don't know though is Del Rio is a legit hardcase with a temper, not to be messed with.

When ADR made his debut on the main roster, I immediately became a big fan of his. I really like the presentation of ADR's character with the nice cars, the pyro, Ricardo as his personal ring announcer. I felt like he had some charm and charisma and he did have some good matches. He was given opportunities that 99% of guys who've only been in the main roster for such a short time were never given, such as winning the Royal Rumble and wrestling for the World Heavyweight Title in his first WrestleMania. It was when ADR was drafted to Raw, where I felt he started to go downhill. First they gave him the MITB briefcase and had him cash in and win the WWE Title in the middle of the super-hot Summer of Punk angle. He only held the title for 3 weeks before he dropped it to Cena at NOC, only to win in back 3 weeks later at HIAC, and he dropped it to Punk at Survivor Series a month and a half later. I think ADR's babyface run was very good. Del Rio seemed motivated, he delivered good matches with the likes of Ziggler, Swagger, and Rhodes, among others. The problem I saw with Del Rio is that he never really got any big victories that could have solidified him as a top guy. He was booked as a weak champion when he was a heel, he floundered around for many months where he had an OK fued with Randy Orton, and then was turned babyface. They gave him the World Title and he seemed quite over until Dolph Ziggler started to gain steam and WWE did the double turn. Slowly, everything that made ADR different from the rest of the roster was stripped away to where he just became another guy that nobody cared about. Del Rio was a guy who could have good matches with nearly everyone, but he had no character and no direction during the last couple of months. literally just heard a rumor that Del Rio was fired for slapping the crap out of Kevin Dunn...... (i'm not joking) If that is true, then VIVA DEL RIO!

Really?! This is very surprising considering how high they've always been on Del Rio. The guy can work good matches but he's always had a bad attitude. I wonder how this will impact the mid-card and other workers pushes. It seems like the WWE isn't going to handle jokers backstage anymore, so I applaud them for standing up. Kinda sad to see him go though, I loved him when he first debuted on Smackdown.

Having a fight backstage usually isn't usually enough reason to get fired.

Really shocked. Didn't really care for him. He didn't entertain me and sucked as a heel. I feel bad for him though. Let the memories live

They didn't even wish him well in his future endevors, so I guess he must have done something really bad. This release really took me by surprise. I can't say I was always entertained by Del Rio though. He really only interested me when he turned face because it was something different from him. Well that's another main event level dude gone from WWE this year. First Punk, now Del Rio.

If he wasn't Chicano he'd still be employed. Interrogated cuz he's brown.

Sadly, this is the most interesting thing to happen to Del Rio in his entire WWE career.

In the words of Eddie Murphy's SNL character Mr. Robinson..... "I'm so glad the bitch is gone."

Lots of dehumanising meanie bo beanies here. Whilst he was very much so, one dimensional, he always stuck to characterisation and had matches that never fluctuated in quality. Though, I won't be missing the leg slaps...

A great talent that they just simply had no idea what to do with. you're joke right he was given chance after chance. he debuted on a 3 month undefeated streak. then won the first 40 man royal rumble. won money in the bank. Beat CM Pun for the WWE tile. than beat Doliph Ziggler for the world title. And was in a main event sport in between all of that.
