I enjoyed his early work. When he was presented as this rich Mexican Guy who came out in exotic cars, I was interested. But I feel like his character suffered from the failed split of Ricardo and Del Rio. If they had waited, and played it out right, Ricardo could have become a good underdog luchadore in the mid card, while Alberto would have gotten major heat and remained a main eventer. I don't know, I could be wrong, but that's my opinion. He suffered mainly become they took everything he had going away from him. They took Ricardo away, took the cars away, and really took his rich guy gimmick away, you really wouldn't have known he was supposed to be a rich dude if you started watching after they took all that away, so he got stuck in that nothing rut a lot of their guys are in.

now the WWE has created storylines out of some random, stupid, awful things
but i cant remember a time when they've done a story based on someone getting released. so i highly doubt this is leading to some new gimmick or angle or character for ADR
HOWEVER....this IS "The Reality Era" and it's true, his release announcement was not like any other one they have ever done before. hell the one they did for Kennedy was formal and he left on bad terms to say the least

Im probably late, but I found this interesting. WWE tweats '(1/2) @vivadelrio is responsible for his own actions. If you're angry at anyone, be angry at Alberto.' then 'there's no excuse for a pro athlete to not to conduct themselves in a professional manner.'

Could this be a work? maybe. They've never done something like that before. they might be just angry though

It's probably not a work. We all thought CM Punk leaving was a work and it wasn't

It is a work. WWE wouldn't have tweeted that had he actually been released. He probably requested time off. See you at the Rumble.

I am not starting an argument here, but how can people say he was good in the ring? Can anyone give me five matches that you would class as 5*, a plus or however you want to score them. To me he was a guy who went out there and did the bare minimum each time I saw him or if he was not doing that then he was doing his best, but his best simply was not that great. You reall cannot blame the wwe on this one they gave him more than enough chances In big angles, mic time and ring time. But he could not get over because at the end of nether day he was just dull as hell. Again not looking to start an argument, but he is one wrestler I just do not understand how people say is great. I enjoyed his matches with Big Show, Punk, Cena, Ziggler, Mysterio, and the WM one with Edge. To each their own. I liked all of his matches...his style was just something I'm a fan of similar to bret hart in the technical, methodical approach -- fun moves to watch that made sense for building toward his finisher I love the match with swagger at mania for the title especially....a lot with sheamus & the guys you mentioned too the step up top rope enziguri was a thing of beauty, the jumping arm breaker, the back stabber, top rope inverted suplex, etc. etc.

If it's a work, it's a weird choice. You know, because people are getting fired for real and all.

His character was pretty bland but he could go with anybody and make them look good. Although I'm sure most of the hate has to do with the fact that he doesn't have blue eyes and bleach blonde hair.. Pretty impressive that we've given this topic 13 pages already. Haha

Are we still going with Punk being a work too?

If it isn't a work, then that seems rather unprofessional of WWE.

The fact that WWE has made 2 statements regarding the issues makes me thinks its a work. We didn't hear a word from WWE when Punk walked out. If its a storyline, I think mentioning it on the next RAW would be too obvious.

It def comes off as petty and inflammatory....most companies are hypocrites but WWE really takes the cake IMO firing Del Rio isn't my complaint, but who isn't unprofessional?? You'd have to call out RVD for arrest as champ, Swagger & Cameron, Orton for his countless issues, every suspension for drugs (Mysterio, etc.) To be so directly vocal about the guy is just uncalled for as a publicly traded company - it's immature and vindictive and not a chance I'd ever imagine anyone being happy working in that kind of setting
