I literally never had a reason to hate this guy or his character that he did with Alberto, Ricardo seems to be a really good guy, inside & outside the ring.
Ricardo seems like a much better and more honest interview than other recently released stars like Evan Bourne and Brodus Clay. Probably because he's less concerned with burning bridges.
Ricardo makes a good point. Del Rio, Sheamus, Ziggler, Barrett and Miz were all Laurenitus hires. 4 of those 5 became WWE/World Champs when Johnny Ace was the main talent scout. 1 of them got canned and the other 4 are midcard status now. Very interesting.
Here's the thing with Ricardo. I knew of his body type, it wasn't chiselled like an Adrian Neville or a Randy Orton, but fuck his body, I feel he is someone who is relatable to the modern world where not everyone has the perfect body, but has the desire to do the best with what they've got. I was a massive fan of his, after eventually finding out about his wrestling background in FCW. Seeing tonnes and tonnes of videos of him performing moves I only had seen cruiserweights of yesteryear perform, I was in complete awe. I was just hoping to see the man, the legend that is Ricardo perform some of these high-risk moves either in single competition, or alongside del rio. He was never given the opportunity. I realise that cruiserweights are a dying breed, and the fact that they made the title defunct, shows of the direction that WWE is going in. They want wrestlers to mainly be above 230 lbs, have this body builder physique which has been known for years. But partially this is the reason NXT is getting so popular, due to the fast-paced, "back to wrestling" style they have on that show. Completely related, and might get some hate, but Cameron was even considering going back to NXT. Why? Because she realised she'd be able to get the necessary training to develop as a WRESTLER, something that RAW and Smackdown! don't currently do. But back on topic Ricardo, sadly wasn't the look WWE wanted, and the fact he was a manager for Del Rio and RVD diminished his character greatly. They probably needed to go with that whole masked wrestler angle where he was one of the locals, as people wouldnt know who he was and would lead to him getting some recognition as a good wrestler. Potentially leading to an unmasking, and then ease in the fact Ricardo is one talent Son of a B.
Totally agree. The guy is just tremendous in the ring. Everytime I see him go out with Del Rio, I always wish that they'd end up in a feud eventually. Like, ADR would beat up Ricardo and injure him to the point that he has to leave for maybe 3 months. And then he comes back as Chimaera, which is his gimmick prior to WWE, and attacks Del Rio. Then they'll fight in a PPV, which Chimaera wins, and reveals himself as Ricardo.
It has nothing to do with his body. He's not marketable. He isn't good looking so ladies aren't going to be drawn to him. He sucks on the mic, so nobody gives a shit what he says. He looks like a pudgy loser, sorry but that's not a character people are going to get behind. Hell nobody gave a shit when they fired him for reason.
+Jeremy James are u forgetting about vader , mankind/mick foley , old ass boogeyman And khali ? They weren't lady killers either And a couple of those guys could barely work But they have hundreds of matches under there profile , wwe merchandise and commercial spots for ppv's etc . This guy was just a victim up backstage politics period I love mick but u couldn't do half of half of the stuff RR could do If they didn't like his face he could've wore s mask , they have answers to this setbacks u claim got in the way of his could be career but they chose not to do anything because he wasn't liked by the people that mattered Just like zach ruder and so forth
Vader was a one of kind big man, no big guy today is trying to moonsault. Foley did anything it took to have a great match, best mic skills, and out of the ring the man could make you laugh when he was commish. Boogeyman was a fun gimmick but he didn't do anything and he'll go into the wrestling history gimmicks like Papa Shango. Fun idea but it never really added up to anything. Khali? Really? He is an untalented tall guy. No mic skills. No in ring ability. He got to stick around as the big guy punching bag until it just got old and they fired him. I doubt that guy sold a piece of merchandise outside of India. Ricardo doesn't have the look to hook a crowd. Doesn't have the charisma and character to hook the crowd. When he was fired...nobody cared. Alberto sure. Rey ok. Ricardo? People wouldn't know he was gone unless you said something and even then they wouldn't care. He couldn't carry a storyline, he was given the chance with RVD and did NOTHING. He might be able to do more in the ring than Foley but so could Shelton Benjamin and Ricardo can't hold a candle to that man, but Shelton was the same, amazing ring skills but no mic skills, couldn't carry a story. You have to carry a story, in ring ability is great but if you can't carry the story that gets you there, nobody cares.
Alberto had zero charisma, thats what ended him, not politics. WWE gave him a great push to try and appeal to Hispanic fans. Now compare that to a guy like Daniel Bryan that got over BY HIMSELF, no help from the company. They thought he was too short and weird looking/unappealing, he proved them wrong.
He's Pretty Much Semi-Retired. Does the Occasional Appearance Here & There, Mostly with Conventions & Such. He Did Have a Nice Run as Puerto Rico Champion in WWC After His Departure, Though
I honestly think him and del rio gelled so well, and I had all my family hooked because I called him recardo rod-frogface. even my mum used to say hey its frogface and my mum is in and out on wrestling(wwe) so this shows the level of credit I gave him and the love he had from my family. just wished he was still in wwe he was magnificent all through his tenure I mean that beat down car and coming to the ring in wrestling gear wwe can't take that away from Ricardo Rodriguez fans and I am proud to say I am 1 of them. mad props to this guy
i did enjoy his work as a ring announcer and ive seen a few of his matches. i don;t see why the office has to tell you what you can and can't do to help someone in the company. even if he is not an agent why is he not allowed to help those who ask for his advise
The reason they don't want him doing that is because the WWE is pretty much putting out a cookie cutter product. Their agents are all trained on how the WWE wants the WWE product to look ranging from production value of the show all the way to how the in ring talent should walk, talk, and wrestle. So their concern is that he may be giving them the wrong advice based off of his own opinions rather than what the WWE is actually looking for. I'm not saying they're right, I actually think it is bad for the overall product, because half of what made guys like the Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock stars was the fact that the WWE allowed them to be themselves, which allowed their natural talent and charisma to shine through. But here is an analogy that kind of sums up why the WWE is taking the stance they're taking. If you were to buy into a fast food franchise like McDonalds, you're not only buying into the brand name, but also into their proven and successful business model of doing things. So imagine if an employee who had worked there for years one day altered some of the ingredients on one of the hamburger meals let's call it the #3 Combo Meal and found out it was delicious. Someone then comes up and orders the #3 Combo Meal and you tell the employee making it to try it your way because it is even better like that, so he does and the customer loves it too. However management finds out and of course is going to tell you to stop altering the #3 Combo Meal, and that the only people with the authority to make those kind of decisions to alter it are McDonalds management. You can argue until you're blue in the face that the #3 Combo Meal taste better the way you're doing it and the majority of people if they ever tried it would probably agree too. But the fact of the matter is McDonalds has a certain way of doing things and they're not wanting to risk rocking the boat by changing it up and doing it your way. That's pretty much how the WWE is viewing things. I don't agree with it, but that is why they're doing it.
Online News that's a very thorough explanation and it makes perfect sense but like u said I do not agree with it either, a person/wrestler/employee should be able about to give advice/opinions or offer needed help to a fellow worker not to the point of actually altering whatever it is, is against that company rules and or standards.
I totally gave up on WWE after Del Rio got canned, it was the straw that broke the camel's back. Not just because of the atrocious reason behind it happening, but because of what Ricardo talks about around the 11-13 minute mark. It's appeared for a while now that the only parts of the show that any real thought or care goes into are the parts involving Triple H, Stephanie or the guys they are rumoured to favour. The rest are just treated as filler, afterthoughts, like they don't really matter. And I find that insulting, to the wrestlers involved as well as to the fans watching. It wasn't always like that. I remember a time when the majority of things on WWE TV (angles, matches, promos, etc) seemed to have been booked with a purpose. Those days are long-gone now. I've seen TV shows designed for toddlers with more sense of purpose and continuity. Fuck that company.
ThrashAD720 Oh, I still watch wrestling. Just not current WWE TV. The only thing of theirs I've watched since Del Rio's firing was Christian's Peep Show segment with Jericho. And even that was a let-down. I just don't miss their product. I wish I did, but I don't.
Know what you mean, I really miss the 90s, before Vince decided the WWE should be "Family" entertainment. Gone were the DX type jokes along with Austin's swearing and any of the above PG-13 type stuff we all got a good laugh at. The stories were a hell of a lot better.I recall the night I quit watching for at least a year was right after Wrestlemania where Daniel Bryan had won 2 belt, then on RAW, Stepf and Hunter took the WWE title away from from him, had Randy beat him up due to the "fact he wasn't good enough to represent the company". That made me angry & sick at the same time. Stupid writing, idiotic story line all rolled into one.
Ok so they interview this guy. Ok cool. But they won't interview either one of the Highlanders Robbie or Rory, Mike Rotunda, Rob Conway, Velvet Sky, Kendall Windham, Shane Sewell, Sean Mooney, Kamala, Adrian Street, AJ Lee just to name a few. Hell I'd like to hear a shoot from Terry Gibbs. I bet he has some great stories. No but lets do another 55 shoot interviews with New jack.
@@Megadoodle i learned something from watching interviews of wrestlers .... The coolest guys in private live are the heels . I cant stand a lot of the faces “outside the ring“ because it seems like , most of them , are assholes and / or. Broken souls
I can't believe that Ricardo is complaining because Triple H wants to build new talents and allow the vets to step aside. This is how the company has worked for years. You can't have the same guys on top. And then he goes on to complain about how The Shield and The Wyatts are getting the spotlight instead of other people. Maybe it's because they're actually interesting and people want to see them. Those other guys should have stepped up their game if they wanted to have a spot. Ricardo seems bitter towards anyone who wasn't his friend or had the spotlight. He seem like an okay guy but he should have known that with his body type WWE were never going to do anything with him. He would be better off on the indy scene.
***** So you some how missed the fact that Mark Henry is a former WHC who dominated for years. You also seem to have missed Big E being the IC Champions and competing in the main event of Raw and SD with Cena, Punk & The Shield. Not to mentioned you failed to remember that Kofi is a former IC, US, Tag Team Champion and more. Not everyone is meant to be WHC. And there was also The Rock, Booker T, Bobby Lashley, ADR, Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio. And the last time I checked Roman Reigns isn't white he's Samoan. And Seth Rollins is Armenian. Stop trying to throw race into everything. I'm black and you don't see me doing that.
Sammy Pineda Why would the WWE use guys who the fans don't like? They can't be responsible for making the fans care about everyone if they don't have star power. No one and I do mean no one wanted to see Ricardo do anything other than be ADR's ring announcer. And ADR was on every show, yet fans kept complaining that he was boring them. WWE will give the spotlight to whoever the fans find interesting and will support them. It's as simple as that.
He is right look at the Wyatt's and the shield now they are getting over booked and old shit cena buried the Wyatt's and the shield has broken up wwe is really stupid back when wrestling was cool almost every match had a new jobber which gave u a better Jew of how dominat a superstar can be but to have the same wrestler over and over it becomes very stupid and repetitive
He's not fat, he's big boned lol But yeah, i see what ya saying. Shame though as he was pretty entertaining, and that's saying something with some of the people on the roster still.
The we haven't seen him wrestle doesn't really work especially since we got to see him as El Local on NXT...and he wasn't really that crisp in the ring (botched a ton of times doing his last couple of matches)
What was the heat between ricardo and the shield? Was he mad cause they hit him, because if so WTF this is wrestling, last time I checked it was a contact sport!!!! If Im wrong please correct me.
Lotu Tupou well in my opinion i think we went way out of hand for the comments that he made. also i know a legit punch hurts but this is wrestling its not fucking ballet!
I've never been a fan of guys in the wrestling business who never take bumps but are just there to take a paycheck and have fun or hang out with wrestlers. Not my thing, didn't care when they released him.
but he is a wrestler (he even wrestled under a mask for a bit in WWE) and he has taken some pretty harsh bumps during his run with Del Rio. He was just a guy trying to do his job for WWE. while WWE was stripping away his responsibilities.
They probably were thinking "What's wrong with this idiot?". The Shield members have more class then to start some petty drama. And Ricardo wonders why WWE never did anything with him. He better be lucky too because Reigns, Ambrose & Rollins has a history of having bad tempers.
thepunkster90x Roman Reigns has a record for fighting most of his life. He used to fight a lot when he was younger, even got arrested once. Seth Rollins stood up to an NXT trainer, I don't see him taking crap from Ricardo.
Im not the type to believe anything a superstar or anybody says until Ive seen it with my own eyes i cant say someone is a prick or a jerk because i only see them on my television screen
Man, WWE is pretty fucked up when it comes to politics. I understand that it is a billion dollar grossing company and things like that will exist; but this isn't just politics, it's bullying. I've heard that Paul would make fun of Ricardo all the time about his weight, and Alberto was made fun of by some guy on the staff for his race. I mean, I'm surprised anyone still works for WWE. I mean, if anything, after all of this, 10-guys should be working for WWE.
Del Rio was the best in the ring, It has been recorded that Del Rio was all most God like when calling the shots in the ring, He was able to wrestle whenever, wherever, however they wanted him to. The wrestled with multiple injuries and still put on, at the absolute least, 10+ minute matches. Also, Paul is a bully behind the scenes with a lot of the guys. I've read reports from multiple sites, all reputable, that Paul seems to always make fun of a lot of the guys who short or overweight. I mean, he may be doing it unconsciously; but he's doing it none the less.
***** You dont know shit and you sure as hell dont know wrestling if you think Alberto del Sleepo was good. For comparison, Eddie Guerrero had more charisma in his pinky(and was a better worker) than del Stinko had in his whole body
Of course HHH stopped the push of Del Rio. Del Rio won the freaking rumble, mitb and four world titles without getting over at all. But of course... That is not important to mention because it is always somebody elses fault. Sorry to say Ricardo but nobody misses you or Del Rio.
Jesus Condom Yeah, put into programs with CM Punk, Cena, Big Show, turned baby face and put into a program with Swagger/Coulter. Even though they were cutting racist promos on Del Rio, the international crowds of WrestleMania and RAW after Mania didn't rally around him. He gets turned heel again, gets another World Title AND an additional run with Cena, and despite STILL no one giving a shit about him, he gets a brief run with the returning Batista.SO fuckin' buried, wasn't he?
Damn, this is sobering, when he is talking about people getting hurt and shit with the drills under Bill DeMott, now that all the shit is surfacing at this time.
This guys lucky he got as much time on t.v. as he did, dudes out of shape, cant work, can barely talk on the mic. He had more time on t.v. than most mid carders.
This interview is super hard to watch because of Ricardo's speech and patterns. He keeps interrupting himself, and he speaks English at 120 miles per hour..
I literally never had a reason to hate this guy or his character that he did with Alberto, Ricardo seems to be a really good guy, inside & outside the ring.
Agreed. He Seems to Be Like a Guy That's Happy to Be in the Business, & Will No B.S. About Anything to Anyone, as Well
Ricardo seems like a much better and more honest interview than other recently released stars like Evan Bourne and Brodus Clay.
Probably because he's less concerned with burning bridges.
Ricardo makes a good point. Del Rio, Sheamus, Ziggler, Barrett and Miz were all Laurenitus hires. 4 of those 5 became WWE/World Champs when Johnny Ace was the main talent scout. 1 of them got canned and the other 4 are midcard status now. Very interesting.
He's spot on HHH still goes on now in 2023
Absolutely loved this guy. Seems he'd be cool to hang out with..I loved his ADR intro, went great with his Entrance theme
"I got a concussion from Ryback". Shocker.
" am dumb as fuck.......sorry " - cryback
Damn dude, the Wrestling business sounds f*cked up
ricardo had a great royale rumble moment too. a classic!
Loved the Iron Sheik impersonation at the end
I Just Love How So Many Wrestlers are Fans of Both the Shoot Interviews & Botchamania
I hated this guy in WWE. He is 10x better as himself.
Excellent Sheik impression at the end!
#1 reason why people leave wwe:
Rayback injured me
Here's the thing with Ricardo. I knew of his body type, it wasn't chiselled like an Adrian Neville or a Randy Orton, but fuck his body, I feel he is someone who is relatable to the modern world where not everyone has the perfect body, but has the desire to do the best with what they've got. I was a massive fan of his, after eventually finding out about his wrestling background in FCW. Seeing tonnes and tonnes of videos of him performing moves I only had seen cruiserweights of yesteryear perform, I was in complete awe. I was just hoping to see the man, the legend that is Ricardo perform some of these high-risk moves either in single competition, or alongside del rio. He was never given the opportunity.
I realise that cruiserweights are a dying breed, and the fact that they made the title defunct, shows of the direction that WWE is going in. They want wrestlers to mainly be above 230 lbs, have this body builder physique which has been known for years. But partially this is the reason NXT is getting so popular, due to the fast-paced, "back to wrestling" style they have on that show. Completely related, and might get some hate, but Cameron was even considering going back to NXT. Why? Because she realised she'd be able to get the necessary training to develop as a WRESTLER, something that RAW and Smackdown! don't currently do.
But back on topic
Ricardo, sadly wasn't the look WWE wanted, and the fact he was a manager for Del Rio and RVD diminished his character greatly. They probably needed to go with that whole masked wrestler angle where he was one of the locals, as people wouldnt know who he was and would lead to him getting some recognition as a good wrestler. Potentially leading to an unmasking, and then ease in the fact Ricardo is one talent Son of a B.
Totally agree. The guy is just tremendous in the ring. Everytime I see him go out with Del Rio, I always wish that they'd end up in a feud eventually.

It has nothing to do with his body. He's not marketable. He isn't good looking so ladies aren't going to be drawn to him. He sucks on the mic, so nobody gives a shit what he says. He looks like a pudgy loser, sorry but that's not a character people are going to get behind. Hell nobody gave a shit when they fired him for reason.

Boogeyman was a fun gimmick but he didn't do anything and he'll go into the wrestling history gimmicks like Papa Shango. Fun idea but it never really added up to anything.
Khali? Really? He is an untalented tall guy. No mic skills. No in ring ability. He got to stick around as the big guy punching bag until it just got old and they fired him. I doubt that guy sold a piece of merchandise outside of India.

I saw WWE RAW Live a while ago. Alberto Del Rio had the best ring entrance in WWE by far because of Ricardo Rodriguez (and of course, the car).
I, too, didn't give this guy too much thought when he was in the WWE, but now I see. Good stuff.
Alberto had zero charisma, thats what ended him, not politics. WWE gave him a great push to try and appeal to Hispanic fans. Now compare that to a guy like Daniel Bryan that got over BY HIMSELF, no help from the company. They thought he was too short and weird looking/unappealing, he proved them wrong.
Del Rio is one of the best Heels , WWE has ever had in my opinion
I liked Ricardo, especially the way he rolled his "r"s. Had wondered what happened to him.
He's Pretty Much Semi-Retired. Does the Occasional Appearance Here & There, Mostly with Conventions & Such. He Did Have a Nice Run as Puerto Rico Champion in WWC After His Departure, Though
that ending alone iz worth the price of getting this one

I was so damn happy I got to meet him. Hella coo dude. I miss him
Man they did Ricardo dirty!
Wwe needs to bring him back!
Damn I want to watch the full interview
"Go back to CZW you piece of shit" lololololol I just can't imagine the scene xD
Surprisingly Ricardo is a really good wrestler
FUCK! THE TED DIBIASE!, funny stuff.
When ever he mentions Big E, I keep thinking Biggie smalls.
He comes off as very truthfully about what when on.
He kinda has the same voice as Jonah Hill 🤔
This guy is a talent. Hopefully some company will give him a real chance. Looking at you GFW and Jeff Jarrett.
lol
out of all the shoot interviews that they have, this is the one that i really want to buy. but :/
Looks like a good one
Wow,he seems cool and really down to earth.
''You can't have a bad match with Alberto'' yet John did. Sell the arm! Dammit! I miss Del Rio.
Haha Ricardo's awesome
i did enjoy his work as a ring announcer and ive seen a few of his matches. i don;t see why the office has to tell you what you can and can't do to help someone in the company. even if he is not an agent why is he not allowed to help those who ask for his advise
It seems like at that point they were looking for things to get on him about so he'd want to leave.
it would seem there known for doing that. then again we look at carlito who they refused to let go until he rebelled
The reason they don't want him doing that is because the WWE is pretty much putting out a cookie cutter product. Their agents are all trained on how the WWE wants the WWE product to look ranging from production value of the show all the way to how the in ring talent should walk, talk, and wrestle.
So their concern is that he may be giving them the wrong advice based off of his own opinions rather than what the WWE is actually looking for. I'm not saying they're right, I actually think it is bad for the overall product, because half of what made guys like the Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock stars was the fact that the WWE allowed them to be themselves, which allowed their natural talent and charisma to shine through.

Cool, I went to high school with this guy...
I totally gave up on WWE after Del Rio got canned, it was the straw that broke the camel's back. Not just because of the atrocious reason behind it happening, but because of what Ricardo talks about around the 11-13 minute mark. It's appeared for a while now that the only parts of the show that any real thought or care goes into are the parts involving Triple H, Stephanie or the guys they are rumoured to favour. The rest are just treated as filler, afterthoughts, like they don't really matter. And I find that insulting, to the wrestlers involved as well as to the fans watching. It wasn't always like that. I remember a time when the majority of things on WWE TV (angles, matches, promos, etc) seemed to have been booked with a purpose. Those days are long-gone now. I've seen TV shows designed for toddlers with more sense of purpose and continuity. Fuck that company.
Ah shut up you still be watching don't lie.
ThrashAD720 Oh, I still watch wrestling. Just not current WWE TV. The only thing of theirs I've watched since Del Rio's firing was Christian's Peep Show segment with Jericho. And even that was a let-down. I just don't miss their product. I wish I did, but I don't.

I drank with this fool lol and del rio, we got hammered that night
Lol good preview of this interview :)
They should have made him a full time ring announcer WWE fucked up he was good as a high flyer too
People seemed to genuinely like Ricardo, I don't understand why the WWE just didn't keep using him.
WOW... and all that time i thought he was just some ring anouncer
14:41 LOOOOL!!!
Ok so they interview this guy. Ok cool. But they won't interview either one of the Highlanders Robbie or Rory, Mike Rotunda, Rob Conway, Velvet Sky, Kendall Windham, Shane Sewell, Sean Mooney, Kamala, Adrian Street, AJ Lee just to name a few. Hell I'd like to hear a shoot from Terry Gibbs. I bet he has some great stories. No but lets do another 55 shoot interviews with New jack.
Buy yourself a camera and go interview all of those people then
No matter how many shoots i hear
It seems Ryback has either injured someone or is really unprofessional while in the ring
Seems like a really cool guy.
what match is he referring to with edge and del rio and someone gushing blood?
Del Rio vs Christian Extreme Rules 2011
I never knew ricardo rodriguez could talk english
He reminds me of Jonah Hill lol
@10:18: I never knew Dolph would be like that?
bkohler89 I think this was after he was concussed. I remember watching an interview he did about it and had to ask AJ what happened.

He didn't say that!!! Wornt u listening!! He said you don't have to use them over and over in just one show! You have plenty of over guys for that!!
***** So you some how missed the fact that Mark Henry is a former WHC who dominated for years. You also seem to have missed Big E being the IC Champions and competing in the main event of Raw and SD with Cena, Punk & The Shield. Not to mentioned you failed to remember that Kofi is a former IC, US, Tag Team Champion and more. Not everyone is meant to be WHC. And there was also The Rock, Booker T, Bobby Lashley, ADR, Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio. And the last time I checked Roman Reigns isn't white he's Samoan. And Seth Rollins is Armenian. Stop trying to throw race into everything. I'm black and you don't see me doing that.
Sammy Pineda Why would the WWE use guys who the fans don't like? They can't be responsible for making the fans care about everyone if they don't have star power. No one and I do mean no one wanted to see Ricardo do anything other than be ADR's ring announcer. And ADR was on every show, yet fans kept complaining that he was boring them. WWE will give the spotlight to whoever the fans find interesting and will support them. It's as simple as that.
He is right look at the Wyatt's and the shield now they are getting over booked and old shit cena buried the Wyatt's and the shield has broken up wwe is really stupid back when wrestling was cool almost every match had a new jobber which gave u a better Jew of how dominat a superstar can be but to have the same wrestler over and over it becomes very stupid and repetitive
Why was he wearing a neck brace?
Comes across as a good guy but his body type is horrible. They pushed him as far as he possibly could go. He should be thankfull
***** Ricardo was never brought by WWE to be a wrestle they needed somebody to be Del Rio's Mangers.
He's not fat, he's big boned lol
But yeah, i see what ya saying. Shame though as he was pretty entertaining, and that's saying something with some of the people on the roster still.
The we haven't seen him wrestle doesn't really work especially since we got to see him as El Local on NXT...and he wasn't really that crisp in the ring (botched a ton of times doing his last couple of matches)
Not true because he was over as a luchadore before WWE. If you never watched Chimera don't just speak based around only what you see on WWE. JUSSAYIN.
Well, to be fair, he just wanted SOMETHING to do near the end. Even if it was just jobbing as El Local.
FULL INTERVIEW WITHOUT THE CUT'S
pay for it
In the end he just want to be able to perform in front of wwe crowd
I'm sorry who is this guy to the industry? He seems interesting.
Alberto Del Rio's ring announcer
I swear they are so childish and petty in the WWE locker room.
What was the heat between ricardo and the shield? Was he mad cause they hit him, because if so WTF this is wrestling, last time I checked it was a contact sport!!!! If Im wrong please correct me.
Lotu Tupou well in my opinion i think we went way out of hand for the comments that he made. also i know a legit punch hurts but this is wrestling its not fucking ballet!
Such a shame to see that without WWE he's gone all the way down to this level
I've never been a fan of guys in the wrestling business who never take bumps but are just there to take a paycheck and have fun or hang out with wrestlers. Not my thing, didn't care when they released him.
but he is a wrestler (he even wrestled under a mask for a bit in WWE) and he has taken some pretty harsh bumps during his run with Del Rio. He was just a guy trying to do his job for WWE. while WWE was stripping away his responsibilities.
LOL so u don't like Howard finkle? Wtf lmaoooo
basically they control u period great money or gd money but uf u dont like somethin they take stuff away from u
I highly doubt he told off the shield and none of them did or said anything back I call bullshit
They probably were thinking "What's wrong with this idiot?". The Shield members have more class then to start some petty drama. And Ricardo wonders why WWE never did anything with him. He better be lucky too because Reigns, Ambrose & Rollins has a history of having bad tempers.
Yeah lol and like many wrestlers say this isnt dancing this is a sport I dont think he can take a punch because he talked about being hit twice lol
PLLittleMama2007 I can see Roman Reigns taking it and probably Rollins but Dean Ambrose is the more balsy of the trio
thepunkster90x Roman Reigns has a record for fighting most of his life. He used to fight a lot when he was younger, even got arrested once. Seth Rollins stood up to an NXT trainer, I don't see him taking crap from Ricardo.
PLLittleMama2007 I didn't know about Roman Reigns but I heard Seth Rollins has had attitude problems that even Triple H had to tell him to calm down
Im not the type to believe anything a superstar or anybody says until Ive seen it with my own eyes i cant say someone is a prick or a jerk because i only see them on my television screen
HHH will be the death of WWE, sad to say.
like half the video, maybe more, I have no idea what he's talking about.
how bout a lead in
He could have been tag champ with Kalisto, maybe he should have lost more weight, now Sin Cara has the titles
This guy seems real chill, too bad the wwe is blind and biased
Why doesn't Ricardo like DiBiase?
He was impersonating The Iron Sheik.
I thought Sheamus was H's boy
"I'm not getting over, so the company is racist." -This guy
HI WHY DID WWE RLESAESE Ricardo
Some of the comment are so true i meen every interveiw u get people complaning about wwe
Man, WWE is pretty fucked up when it comes to politics. I understand that it is a billion dollar grossing company and things like that will exist; but this isn't just politics, it's bullying. I've heard that Paul would make fun of Ricardo all the time about his weight, and Alberto was made fun of by some guy on the staff for his race. I mean, I'm surprised anyone still works for WWE. I mean, if anything, after all of this, 10-guys should be working for WWE.
The alberto thing was one guy making a comment, way overblown, and i doubt paul would do that. Bullying my ass.
Alberto sucked anyway, most boring champ in recent memory.
Del Rio was the best in the ring, It has been recorded that Del Rio was all most God like when calling the shots in the ring, He was able to wrestle whenever, wherever, however they wanted him to. The wrestled with multiple injuries and still put on, at the absolute least, 10+ minute matches. Also, Paul is a bully behind the scenes with a lot of the guys. I've read reports from multiple sites, all reputable, that Paul seems to always make fun of a lot of the guys who short or overweight. I mean, he may be doing it unconsciously; but he's doing it none the less.
rkofu1 Thank You!! School these fools. Alberto was the best.
*****
You dont know shit and you sure as hell dont know wrestling if you think Alberto del Sleepo was good. For comparison, Eddie Guerrero had more charisma in his pinky(and was a better worker) than del Stinko had in his whole body
Of course HHH stopped the push of Del Rio.
Del Rio won the freaking rumble, mitb and four world titles without getting over at all.
But of course... That is not important to mention because it is always somebody elses fault.
Sorry to say Ricardo but nobody misses you or Del Rio.
Yet you still watched the shoot. Smh
Not to mention Del Rio was in his late 30s'. WWE always stops pushing people at that age unless they are a big name like Taker.
Jesus Condom Yeah, put into programs with CM Punk, Cena, Big Show, turned baby face and put into a program with Swagger/Coulter. Even though they were cutting racist promos on Del Rio, the international crowds of WrestleMania and RAW after Mania didn't rally around him. He gets turned heel again, gets another World Title AND an additional run with Cena, and despite STILL no one giving a shit about him, he gets a brief run with the returning Batista.SO fuckin' buried, wasn't he?
Me163 So since he watched the shoot he must agree with what Ricardo says? Lol you fanboys and your non existent logic.
Me163 What kind of retarded logic is that?
Just because I watched the video doesn't mean I have to agree with Ricardo.
So Cody Rhodes was the reason Alberto got fired from wwe 13:00
+sxeeverardo Cody Barbierri not Cody Rhodes
Haha but Alberto is back!!! Fuck Cody he was and is a nobody.
@@joeysbestfriend2614 Not cody rhodes lol
I've never been a fan of these manager only guys unless they're really amazing or very hot. Ricardo was neither so I didn't care when he was released.
Ricardo is not as good of a manager as the late, great "Playboy" Gary Hart, then again, almost nobody is in Hart's league.
Next will be Del Rio lol
Damn, this is sobering, when he is talking about people getting hurt and shit with the drills under Bill DeMott, now that all the shit is surfacing at this time.
Should be thankful to get as far as he has in the industry not ripping into people because they were more successful than him
Why does the shoot interview trailer with this no-talent have the most views of the ones uploaded recently?
FACK DA TED DIBIASE
This guys lucky he got as much time on t.v. as he did, dudes out of shape, cant work, can barely talk on the mic. He had more time on t.v. than most mid carders.
This guy mumbles a lot
Im sorry but dean and seth are better then him
This interview is super hard to watch because of Ricardo's speech and patterns. He keeps interrupting himself, and he speaks English at 120 miles per hour..
wtf you mean bruh
wwe is garbage. can't even build any talent except Ceyna!!!. seena seen e-nuff
i absolutely do not like Ricardo at all.
