Jon Robinson: Since you've been in WWE, you've adapted really fast to the WWE style of match. What's the biggest difference between what you were used to in Mexico and wrestling in WWE?


Alberto Del Rio: I can say that I'm a better wrestler now that I'm in WWE because the way we work in WWE is totally different than what you see anywhere else. Here, we work with logic, and there's a reason for everything we do in the ring. Whether it's a dropkick or a punch, there's a reason for everything. Lucha Libre style is beautiful, but in Lucha Libre, we just do things because it looks pretty, or it looks spectacular, but there's no logic or anything. That's why I think I'm a better wrestler now.



Jon Robinson: You performed at your first Wrestlemania this year. What was that experience like for you?


Alberto Del Rio: It was incredible. Everything for me I've done in WWE is new. I did my first ladder match, my first TLC match, my first Wrestlemania, my first cage match. I'm enjoying every single day in WWE because now I'm a global superstar. In Mexico, I was just a superstar, now I'm a global star because of WWE.



Jon Robinson: Of all the gimmick matches you tried in WWE, what has been your favorite?


Alberto Del Rio: My favorite was the cage match because I enjoy working with Christian. Christian is an incredible performer and my cage match against him is one of my favorite matches.



Jon Robinson: When you look ahead to Wrestlemania next year, do you have a dream opponent?


Alberto Del Rio: I know all the new guys have the same dream, and that's to go against Undertaker. Undertaker to me is like the godfather of American wrestling and that's my dream match. I don't know if it will happen or not, but I want it.



Jon Robinson: Who else are you looking forward to working with?


Alberto Del Rio: I'm chasing John Cena. I want to be WWE champion. Another guy I'd like to fight is Randy Orton. He's such an aggressive wrestler, I think we could have some great matches.

Del Rio comes across very well in this interview. Seems like a very honest and nice guy.

It seems predictable that he says he is a better wrestler in WWE but when he explains it I think he is telling the truth. Very good explanation for the difference in styles. His work with Christian was good and hopefully in the future they cross paths again.

From that interview you can see why WWE like the guy and it sounds like he doesn't want to go anywhere else anytime soon.
