Alberto Del Rio

“For people like me, who appreciate the love and respect you get from the fans in Japan, there was no reason for me to turn my head to the other side and go try my options and luck in the UFC.”

“Fortunately for me, I do so well in pro wrestling that I don't have to go there and fight if they don't pay me what I was asking.”

“I'm one of those wrestlers that leaves everything to the audience and to the fans. I never plan anything, and you will never see Alberto Patron planning in the back what he is going to do in the match.”

“I'm really happy with 'WWE '12.' It's amazing. The fact that I'm in a video game is incredible; it's a dream come true.”

“I learned from many people. I became a better wrestler thanks to my matches with Edge, with Christian, with Rey Mysterio, with John Cena - who, even though you, the fans, want to criticize him, John Cena is one of the best wrestlers of the universe.”

“I was never let go from that company - it was my decision to leave WWE. I had enough.”

“Wrestling is to go out there and perform and make people believe that either of the performers in the ring can win - either the bad guy or the good guy.”

“'Lucha Underground' is a fantastic product. They have the right people, talent, and backing up the product.”

“Don't get confused; doing choreography in the ring can be done by anyone. I take the guy who works in the gas station on the corner, and I teach him a choreography for a week, and I swear he can do it in a ring.”

“WWE is a PG and a family product. Everybody can watch and enjoy WWE, whereas in the past, the parents were worried about what their kids were watching because of the blood, foul language, etc.”

“I've got the knowledge and experience to know what's going on in the cage or the ring. And I know how to entertain an audience and how to use the microphone. I know my market.”

“I'm for big challenges and can face anybody, but I know they have legends in 'WWE '12,' so I'd love to see myself against Andre the Giant.”

“I can tell you this, and I'm 100 percent sure: 90 percent of the people working for WWE have never been in a real fight in their lives.”

“I always had fun with my great friend Rey Mysterio Jr. I think it would be fantastic to have my very last match against someone like him because my very first match in WWE was against Rey Mysterio Jr. I know that all the pro wrestling fans, in particular the Mexican fans, would love to see Rey Mysterio against me for my very last match.”

“The difference between me and other talent that has left WWE is - I left the company. In most of the other situations, the company fired them or not wanting to do with business with them.”

“Putting yourself in the ring to wrestle - create those emotions, ups and downs within the match - one moment dominates the one, and one moment dominates the other, and without having created a choreography, that is the real wrestling.”

“There were many great moments in WWE, but the most special was to win the 'Royal Rumble' of 40 wrestlers.”

“In the past, if I was in the middle of a situation involving my personal life, I was always keeping it to me and my family. I wasn't explaining or telling the fans what was going on because they don't need to know.”

“My work with Combate Americas, in particular, has been incredible because the company keeps growing at an incredible rate.”

“Everybody knows I work every single day, I never rest, and I always work to give my best to the fans.”
