Alberto Del Rio never wanted to be the Mexican President
Everyone remembers that classic moment after the League of Nations vs. New Day match at WrestleMania 32, where the legends stormed the stage resulting in a memorable moment.
When we asked Alberto Del Rio about the WrestleMania spot, he had this to say:
"It was a dream come true. I was that little boy in kindergarten. When I graduated from kindergarten, the teacher said- 'Hey we have the next Mexican President in this classroom. Who wants to be President? All of the kids were like 'me me!' But Alberto was like (stoic expression). 'Alberto, don't you want to be President?' 'No, I'm going to be a pro wrestler'." said Alberto
Alberto Del Rio also went on to say how he still attends wrestling shows in Mexico under a mask so that he doesn't get recognized. However, fans of his who want to see Alberto Del Rio in the ring again do not have to wait long!
