It's not just using his stage name on Twitter though. They're using it on the website and even on the release news post which I don't think they've ever done. They always list the real name in parentheses I believe.

What about the 90 day no compete clause?

you get paid on those 90 days....you don't collect money, you can work anywhere you want....think Raven going to TNA in 02.

Anyone think they just did this to help the AAA event? might be a good idea in Mexico to offer AAA on The Network to bring in the few extra buys.
AAA already inked a deal to be on El Rey network. Launching stateside some time this year.

Alberto del Río and AAA President Joaquín Roldan. Del Rio announced that he no longer will be using the name Del Rio because WWE owns the name. Going forward he will be known as El Patron (The Boss). El Patron was his nickname on the Spanish language version of WWE programming but it was never trademarked by WWE.

He also said that his 90 day no compete won't allow him to wrestle but his lawyers are working on it and hopefully will be able to wrestle this Sunday at TripleMania. If he doesn't wrestle it would only put more heat on WWE and make him a bigger babyface. He challenged El Texano Jr. for the AAA World Heavyweight Title.

He didn't give details about his firing from WWE because of legal reasons but said that he would talk about it in a few weeks. He said that he doesn't know Rey Mysterio's situation. Roldan said that Mysterio is under contract with WWE and as long as that's the case then they can't tamper with him but they would be open to bringing him in once his contract expires.

El Patron :TI: Should have just went with his real name IMO

So AAA basically going to pull the racist card on WWE if he doesn't wrestle.

Shrewd.

I heard a bunch of stuff about Mystero doing that AAA stuff too, is it all just speculation? Del rio's name will probably always be a bigger draw than El Patron...i am interested to see how it plays out though

#FreeRey shit

Saw his appearance, cried about racism and being proud Mexican, Konnan takes more tv time than Stephanie. Rey had a video and thats about it.

Yeah, I didn't watch the video but apparently it just showed Rey in a sombrero at the end of the PPV.

If WWE would put him in a sombrero they'd be called racists :TI:

I will not miss Alberto Del Rio. He was overpushed and buried superstars that had more talent than he did. This individual seemed to lack charisma and that's why the WWE fanbase didn't give him much of a reaction during his reign as the World Heavyweight Champion.

I think its a good time for him to take a break from WWE. But I do see him coming back in the future refreshed.
