Alberto El Patron, better known as Alberto Del Rio from his time in the WWE, recently spoke with Chair Shots to the Cranium to talk about various topics.
CM Punk
El Patron worked with CM Punk during his time with the company while battling for the WWE Title on numerous occasions. He recalled one match with Punk in Japan where he thought that they had a masterpiece of a match despite being jet lagged. He brought up how he is good friends with Punk and have nothing but respect for everything he’s done in his career and his MMA career. The reason for that respect is due to Punk needing “to be a real man to take that challenge to go inside the cage and fight.”
Paige
El Patron dated former WWE Divas Champion and current SmackDown General Manager Paige. Although they no longer date, he did keep an eye on her career and the fact that she is no longer medically cleared to wrestle in the WWE. He stated that he closed that book a long time ago and wishes nothing but the best to Paige.
“It’s too bad she cannot wrestle anymore,” El Patron stated as he noted that she has a lot of talent and believes she could have been the most successful Diva of all-time.
