Good. He hasn't interested me in the slightest since they removed the cars from his entrance as well as Ricardo as his ring announcer.

Wfigs must be delighted...
some dirtsheets claiming it may be part of a storyline since they didn't use his real name or wished him well on his future endeavours...

Not gonna lie but I was not expecting that and I'm pretty upset they didn't fix his character, I will miss him TBH and hope he will do well apart from WWE.

That would be interesting to know what happened at the backstage. I believe that could because WWE seems not using him like as the used be, lead Alberto p*ssed off?
Would be good if we see him go back to AAA again. But more likely, he would go to TNA.

Hmmm.... plenty of hate for a dude that went harder than most of the roster, and the enziguri was always on point.

It would also be easy to say that what he supposedly did (punched out an employee) is why he wasn't wished well. As for it being the top story on WWE.com, it could be because WWE wants people to know "hey, this guy is GONE" or simply to embarrass Del Rio by showing he was fired and leaving it as the top story, or a bit of both.

While it sucks that Del Rio was released. I can't help but think he brought this on himself. (Maybe trying to get out of his contract early)
Now mind you if Del Rio was released for hitting a non-wrestling employee, and Rhino was released for getting into a fight with his gf/wife at Mania one year. I can't help but think that Randy Orton must be walking on egg shells right now. All the WWE needs at this point in time is for Orton to bring negative attention to the company again. Plus with all their "Money" problems I can't see Orton getting another slap on the wrist at this point in time.
Getting back to Del Rio. I just read this on another board and it made me laugh.
"If he had just defecated in their bag he'd have gotten eight more championship reigns."

Sucks a guy is out of his job I guess.
Never been a big fan of the lad, thought I would but after him winning RR and MITB I basically released he will never be as big as they wanted him to be.

According to Dave Meltzer, Del Rio was fired for slapping a guy who works for WWE.com

Never was a big fan, but they totally ruined him by forcing the world title on him and gradually taking away everything good about his character.
I'll say this though, seeing him purposely trying to beat the everloving crap out of the original Sin Cara was a sight to behold.

"I hate when anyone loses their job" "Ha Ha. Del Rio. Good riddance." Not directed at anyone, just something I've noticed over different sites.

I'm personally, gutted.
He was a great wrestler and will be missed. It's never good when a good wrestler gets let go. WWE could have done so much more with him and his character. Sure he won everything but what did he really do?, storyline wise? The guy has been given crap material and repetitive promos over and over again.
The best thing he did was when he paid those police officers to beat up Sheamus. They should have done more angles like that where he uses his money to his advantage.
I think he could have been a huge face in the "Dos Caras" character aswell. Think "The Patriot"... but Mexican. I'm disappointed we never got that.

Man, I am really sad by this.
I can truly say I've always liked him as a entertainer and wrestler. Maybe he can come back in a few years.

I like Del Rio, but he did it to himself. He's had a reputation for years because of his attitude, and striking a backstage employee was likely the last straw. It's an especially stupid move when you know they are looking to cut costs. Those that level of unprofessionalism would have likely caused him problems regardless.
