Talk:Alberto Del Rio

Firing from WWE (BLP issue)
I have corrected the article to include only the official reason Del Rio was fired from WWE, based on their statement "WWE announced the release of Alberto Del Rio due to unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee.". The reference previously used was from a blog which quoted a story in the Wrestling Observer that was, per Meltzer's own words, "Based on sketchy stories and what wrestlers have been talking about, at catering". That does not constitute a reliable source and was in violation of WP:BLP. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 10:36, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

"Mexican national team" = "Mexico national team"; reason: the original is Mexico not Mexichano/a so stop translating the name of the nation as if it is genetics : Mexicano = male / he /Mexicana = female / she.

"Mexican people" = "Mexicans"

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: That would be improper grammar. The nation is being used to describe which national team it is. Using Mexico instead of Mexican would only make sense if the wording were "the national team of Mexico" Cannolis (talk) 03:37, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Please make this correction
On the "Lucha Underground (2015-present)" section the last sentence reads "However, on May 13, 2014, Alberto was defeated by Hernandez after Mundo throw him against a window, losing his opportinity." Could someone please correct this by changing 2014 to 2015 and change throw to threw. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.148.205.222 (talk) 23:52, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Concerning his final non-WWE date...
Where should I place the details of his current storyline with Ray González? I feel that adding it to the "Other promotions" section and mentioning that he is facing González as the US Champion can create confusion, since that section is placed above the mention of his return. Yet, the storyline is distinct from his WWE script, so it would seem out of place in the "Return to WWE section". El Alternativo (talk) 08:31, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Oher promotions. Is the best place. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 21:22, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Age?
Curiously, he said that he was 37 last weekend (see here). None of the sources citing his birthdate are official, despite being reliable for most things. Are there any official sources? El Alternativo (talk) 08:08, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Removal of OWW Link
@User:TheBellaTwins1445. The reason I removed the Online World of Wrestling profile is that it isn't (at least in my opinion) a reliable source. It also doesn't seem to offer anything beyond what you can find on our article, or sources such as Cagematch.net, Wrestlingdata.com, Internet Wrestling Database which do offer something we don't find here. I discussed OWW at the Professional Wrestling Wikiproject, and everyone seemed to agree that we shouldn't include external links to it, so I've been removing links when I find them.

Something is wrong with the following section:

World Heavyweight Champion (2012–2013)
"On the April 20 [2012] episode of SmackDown, Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez were officially traded from Raw to SmackDown."

IMO, this statement regarding the trade should be deleted, because the brand extension wasn't even a thing at the time. 2A02:2F0D:D13:5900:14D1:998:B701:1BB (talk) 16:31, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The title of the source used diaagrees with you, clearly says "brand switch". MPJ-DK (talk) 17:49, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If it says "brand switch" and the first brand split ended, then why did he have regular appearances and matches on both Raw and SD? 2A02:2F0D:305:9B00:E0BB:EA4F:8804:8C94 (talk) 13:10, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * All I said was that "the source disagrees", for a change to be made you'll have to present reliable sources.MPJ-DK (talk) 14:40, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Royal Rumble and MITB
Even though I don't consider the Greatest Royal Rumble to be a proper one, WWE does, so doesn't that mean that Braun Strowman has also won a Royal Rumble and Money In The Bank ladder match in the same year? Solitude6nv5 (talk) 16:40, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Ethical issues
Alberto is not authentic and fabricates actual events. He confabulates reality to lean events toward his favor. Should retire and not be allowed to perform in organizations that have a conscious. This comment comes from many misinformation provided by Alberto himself but is not related to his struggles with domestic violence issues or any relationship difficulties that he consistently has presented historically. 97.125.19.163 (talk) 03:43, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
