en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Del_RioInteresting. I was wondering if Del Rio was his real name (let alone Banderas). Surprised to find out that his real name is Rodriguez. I wonder if he's related to Ricardo. Also, interesting is that he's a pretty legit amateur wrestler. I knew that he was MMA guy, but I never thought of him as amateur. His wrestling style doesn't remind me of Angle, Lesner, Benjamin, Swagger, or even Dolph Ziggler. This does explain his wicked German suplexes though. Weird that it ends with "Friends with Drew McIntyre".

There is no relation between Ricardo and Alberto, despite the last name sharing.

The article fails to mention the tattoo that Del Rio has on the right side of his head in the shape of Mirko Cro Cop's foot. {Spoiler}  |

I thought his amateur, "was going to be on the Mexican Olympic team but they couldn't afford to send one" thing was pretty well spoken about, both on TV and here. His style doesn't really look like the guys we think of as great amateurs, but that's what makes him fun to watch and not just another legit wrestler. The luchador part of his career progression really helped give him that different style. I wonder what a Japanese amateur wrestler learning pro wrestling in Japan would end up like. Are there any already out there that anyone could recommend? Is amateur wrestling even a thing in Japan? |

Uhhh the majority of heavyweights in Japan have some amateur background. Scouts always sign amateur guys just like here |
