Its not looking good for Alberto.
Earlier this week, Alberto Del Rio made his case on social media to be added to the WWE Hall Of Fame, this was met with not a lot of good things to say about Del Rio coming from fans. Now, someone already in the WWE Hall of Fame has pointed out why that may not happen.
While speaking on the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T addressed Del Rio possibly getting inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame. Booker T expresses his doubts due to Del Rio’s outside antics.
“This is a guy who took the wrestling world by storm when he came into WWE -just his look, his presence. When you saw Alberto del Rio walk in the room, you go, ‘Who’s that dude right there?’ (…) Dude was handsome. He was a big guy, too, and he can perform at a very high level to the point where he became WWE Champion, world champ, four-time world champ, United States Champion, Royal Rumble winner.”
“I don’t put too many people on the pedestal as far as being ‘really good’ – Del Rio was really good. He played his part very, very well as far as this aristocrat, the Mexican with the gold spoon in his mouth – he had all of that. Just the look and feel – he definitely could’ve been high, high on the list as being a first-ballot Hall of Famer if it wasn’t for his outside antics.”
Booker T On Hall Of Fame Podcast
Of course, Booker has a point that Del Rio would be a first ballot Hall Of Famer if it were not for his antics outside the ring. With a string of arrests, abuse allegations and a litany of examples of him acting in bad faith, it is unlikely Del Rio will go into the Hall Of Fame anytime soon.
