Thursday, March 22th, ESPN Radio Interview.
Tito Puccetti: Damas y Caballeros bienvenidos a ESPNDeportes Radio, hoy tenemos un gran programa! Tenemos a la Supes Estrella de la EBWF Alberto del Rio en la línea para toda latinoamerica! Alberto como estas?
(Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to ESPNDeportes Radio, today we have a great show! On the line we have EBWF Superstar Alberto del Rio for the whole continent! Alberto how are you?
Alberto del Rio: Hola Tito muy bien, tu cómo estas?
(Hello Tito, I'm good and you?)
Tito Puccetti: Muy bien Alberto! Listo para WrestleMania?
(Good. Ready for WrestleMania?)
Alberto del Rio: Si, la verdad había una lucha planeada pero tuve una molestia en el tobillo y me han incapacitado por un par de semanas, pero después de WrestleMania Alberto del Rio volverá con toda!
(Yes, there was a match planned but I had a minor injury on my ankle and I've been sidelined for a couple of weeks, but after WrestleMania Alberto del Rio will return!)
Tito Puccetti: Alberto, estamos viendo una fasceta tuya muy diferente en la EBWF, quieres contarnos al respecto?
(Alberto, we're seeing a different face of you in EBWF, want to tell us about it?)
Alberto del Rio: Claro que si Tito, yo hice mi debut en el Royal Rumble y prometí que iba a ganarlo e ir a WrestleMania. Todos recordarán que Kane elimino a Alberto esa noche. Ahí inició el cambio en Alberto. Alberto retó a Kane end Fallout y perdió en una lucha de Alma contra Alma... Todo el mundo quiere saber que significa eso.
(Of course Tito, I debuted at the Rumbler and promised I was going to win it to go to WrestleMania. We all remember Kane eliminating Alberto that night. There was when this change you noticed in Alberto begun. Alberto challenged Kane at Fallout and lost in a Soul vs. Soul match. Everyone wants to know what that means...
Tito Puccetti: exactamente... Pero eso es información clasificada.
(Exactly, but I believe that is classified information?)
Alberto del Rio: Correcto!
(Correct!)
Tito Puccetti: Como te sientes en la EBWF?
(How are you feeling in EBWF?)
Alberto del Rio: Fantástico, fabuloso! Imaginate, debuto y me eliminan del Royal Rumble... En mi siguiente reunion con el departamento de creatividad me dieron mucho animo, me dijeron que no me preocupara y nos sentamos toda una tarde pensando que ibamos a hacer... Vimos la repetición del Royal Rumble y notamos que Kane me había eliminado.
(Fantastic! Fabulous! I debut and get eliminated from the rumble... In my next meeting with creative they gave me golden words of advice and cheered me up. They told me not to worry... And we sat through a whole evening thinking about where we were going with Alberto... We saw the replay and recalled Kane eliminating me.)
Tito Puccetti: Claro, todos recordamos que Alberto lo dijo en su promo.
(Of course, we all remember Alberto promoing about it later.)
Alberto del Rio: Me dijeron "Oye y por que no trabajamos algo con Kane?" Y pues, Alberto es un personaje muy orgulloso... Así que seguimos por esa línea y heme aqui.
(They were like: Hey, why don't you work with Kane? We all know Alberto is extremely proud, so I saw that happening... We wen't down that road and here I am.)
Tito Puccetti: Que tal es trabajar con Glenn?
(what's it like to work with Kane?)
Alberto del Rio: Glenn es un tipazo, es una persona muy padre! Me ha ayudado mucho y ha contribuido muchisimo a que esta historia se desarrolle.
(Glenn is a great guy! He's a very cool man! He has helped me alot and contributed to this story to unfold.)
Tito Puccetti: Tengo entendido que Alberto y Kane van a estar juntos en WrestleMania access, existe la posibilidad de que participen como pareja en competencia?
(I read somewhere Alberto and Kane will be together in WrestleMania Access, is there any chance they work as a tag team on the near future?)
Alberto del Rio: existen muchas posibilidades Tito!
(There's a whole world of possibilities.)
Tito Puccetti: Cual es tu lucha soñada?
(What is your dream match?)
Alberto del Rio: En la EBWF? Contra Wes Ikeda...
(In EBWF? Vs. Wes)
Tito Puccetti: Por que?
(why?)
Alberto del Rio: Porque es raro que los luchadores americanos adopten un estilo de Lucha mexicana, de tomar riesgos y volar por los aires... En la EBWF tenemos a Jamilia Craft y a Wes Ikeda. Yo sigo a Wes desde sus inicios en la BCW y me encantaría luchar contra el.
(Because it's weird to see American wrestlers adopting lucha libre style and high flying techniques... EBWF's got Jamilia Craft and Wes Ikeda. Plus, I've followed Wes since his beginnings in BCW, I'd love to match up with him.)
Tito Puccetti: Bueno Alberto... Se nos acaba el tiempo. Alberto te deseamos lo mejor en tu carrera en la EBWF y esperamos verte después de WrestleMania.
(Alberto, we're running out of time! We wish you the best in your EBWF career and we hope to see you after WrestleMania!)
Alberto del Rio: Gracias Tito!
(thanks tito).
Alberto hung up.
Banker's field Life Fieldhouse - Indianapolis, Indiana.
A clock ticked slowly, echoing around the arena... The tron lit up slowly inside a dark locker room. Glass shattered all over the floor, apparently belonging to a mirror which had been smashed recently. The camera followed the shattered glass and met up with a pair of feet... the camera panned up slowly to reveal someone dressed in MMA red Venum shorts and full contact MMA gloves. One of his fists resting against the frame of the mirror he just shattered.
Alberto del Rio: The time is up. The time is up for what you ask? For mercy, for compassion, for sportsmanship.
Alberto turned around and revealed himself to the camera lens.
Alberto del Rio: Everywhere I look... Friends stabbing each other in the back, people competing for vanal carnal rewards. I don't want to be a part of that. I won't play your foolish games, I refuse to do it.
Alberto took a step towards the camera.
Alberto del Rio: I am better than you all, but there is ten other idiots in the roster saying the same thing, so I am going to go out there and show it... That ring is like a jungle. Apparently there are rules and a referee, but I've seen just about everyone in this business manipulates the system to win...
He shook his head.
Alberto del Rio: Not me... I'm not going to let some stupid referee and a bell determine your fate when we are matching up.
Alberto raised his gloved fists before the camera and his lips curved up in a smirk.
Alberto del Rio: My fists will be the only ones to tell when a match is over... After you are knocked senseless on the mat, or after they've broken your arm and you can't go on. No three counts, not referees, no bells, no rules. Survival of the fittest.
He lowered his head a little and clenched his fists slowly.
Alberto del Rio: Sin cara... I'm not proud to say we have a whole lot in common. Tonight I'm not going to say you're nothing and I'm wrestling royalty... All the talking will be done in the ring... I don't care if your Mistica is a vile plagiarism of my Cross Armbreaker, tonight we will see who is the best at arm wrenching... That'd be the one who walks out of Warfare without a broken arm and on his bare feet.
Alberto looked proudly at his hands andf smirked as the scene faded to black.
