Lucha Libre Online says Alberto Del Rio “deserves a second chance” with WWE/AAA opportunity

A report from earlier this week claimed that several AAA wrestlers, including AAA Mega Champion Alberto Del Rio, had signed new WWE contracts as part of WWE’s acquisition of AAA. The news of Del Rio potentially working with WWE again received criticism from fans on social media due to his past legal controversies.

Lucha Libre Online, a website run by longtime Spanish announcer Hugo Savinovich, issued the following statement on Facebook in regards to Del Rio…

“Alberto Del Rio has no convictions against him. Alberto Del Rio committed no crime. The U.S. judicial system, one of the strongest in the world, found no crimes against him. Alberto Del Rio is drug free. Alberto Del Rio only lives to take care of his children after the mother of his children left this earthly universe. There are no convictions. He came away free from everything. He matured. He reinvented himself. He’s in respectable physical shape. He has a solid resume. He really wants to contribute to the growth of Mexican wrestling. He has filled arena after arena as the face of AAA. All the talents who have worked with him feel safe and so does the production team. At the end of the day, he’s an innocent man. We’re not saying it. The US judicial system says it. Stop the media war against him once and for all. This is the only individual who did a media tour with all the press and answered each and every question asked, no matter how uncomfortable they were. Everyone deserves a second chance. Let him bring bread to the table for his children, who only have him in their lives.”
