SirSmUgly Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Between the Dynamic Dudes and Dean Douglas, Troy Martin should avoid any alliterative jobs or job titles beginning with "D" in his future. If someone asks him to manage a Dunkin' Donuts, he should turn down the job offer and maybe also head for the hills or hide out in a bunker somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADCAP Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Per Meltzer: "Details are still sketchy regarding Thursday's firing of Al Rodriguez (Alberto Del Rio) by WWE. The story going around is that he slapped a a Social Media manager, at this week's television, but there are a variety of different stories going around regarding what led to this. Based on sketchy stories and what wrestlers have been talking about, at catering, somebody asked the person to clean off his plate. The person joked something along the lines of how that's Del Rio's job. Del Rio found out and confronted him. As the story goes, he didn't apologize and then smiled at him, and Del Rio slapped him."

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Nice. Guy made a fat joke and thought he was a tough guy. Alberto slapped the shit out of him. That is great. These fucking backstage nerds need to learn their place and realize that with out guys like ADR they wouldn't be working. ADR has a rep as being one of the tough guys backstage, why would you fuck with him?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should've seen it coming. I'm amused that Del Rio was fired for "unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee." Isn't that his job? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADR has a rep as being one of the tough guys backstage, why would you fuck with him?? Actually, I'd say that was less a fat joke and more of a Mexican joke which tells me that smarmy little prick is lucky ADR didn't pop his head off like a bottle top. If this is true and can be proven, the WWE may have a bit of a problem on it's hands. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehabilitated Rick Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Del Rio must have been on a few quid. Perfect opportunity to justifiably sack him when the company is in the shit financially. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thought it more of a "ha Del Rio's a jobber" sort of thing than a racial contexr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 It's definitely not hard to see how it could be taken racially, although, clearly, none of us know for sure how the guy meant it. At any rate, I'd guess there is a very good chance that Del Rio took it that way, which would explain him being pissed off. On the other hand, you can't go around slapping the shit out of people who say stupid things in the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 In corporate America (which WWE is now very much apart of now), you report that shit to HR or his immediate supervisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Reading that sounds really racist. It felt like ADR was on the way out anyway, I'm sure he's made more than enough "Fuck You" money, so why not put some little punk bitch in their place and get out early? I wish I could do that.

piranesi Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Now I don't know which bully is the bully and which victim is the victim. We've got a downtrodden minority who's also a wealthy badass. We've got a fat defenseless nerd who's also a fucking race-baiting troll. And somewhere in all of this we've got a snitch running back and forth just trying to get someone beaten up or fired. Dammit. Be a star isn't supposed to be this complicated. The only real takeaway is that they need some of the parents to volunteer to be cafeteria monitors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out Del Rio has "HR" tattooed on one fist and (in really tiny letters) "Your immediate supervisor" tattooed on the other. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and I'm sure that even if he doesn't want to go back to Mexico, someone who can work, was on WWE TV for years and has the ability to work a puro-friendly style could be in NJPW within seconds of his non compete ending. So don't cry for ADR. THAT SAID, if homeboy really made a Mexicans do domestic work joke and didn't apologize, he got off light and as a man I can't really knock Del Rio for his actions.

cool arrow Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 This is how I picture it going down (replace "is it fake" with "clean my plate") (And Dr. D was fired for that too) Not to ruin the joke or anything but I think he was actually fired for picking a fight with Mr. T.

JRGoldman Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 The story doesn't sit right with me. I 100% believe that someone made a racist joke, because people are horrible (and make no mistake, that was totally a racist joke). That being said, I don't believe that someone who made such a terrible joke wouldn't immediately crap his pants when actually confronted by Del Rio. He just stood there smiling? Shit like that doesn't happen outside of a wrestling ring. It's like he was waiting his turn to cut a promo getting his heat back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
