Del Rio Will Wrestle Under The Name Alberto De Patron For TNA
Total Nonstop Action or TNA somehow acts as a net for WWE superstars who are failing. Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Drew Galloway, Ken Anderson, Bobby Lashley are just a few names who jump shipped to TNA when their career in WWE was at crossroads. However, Del Rio or De Patron’s case is a lot different. His career in WWE was not mediocre and there’s a possibility that he could even be inducted into WWE Hall Of Fame.
As for TNA, they are still having issues financially and creativity. They’ve been having disputes since last year and this year is a lot worst. TNA management is hoping that bringing a worldwide icon would eventually solve their problems.
