TNA tried to get into contact with Del Rio the second the story of his release was posted online. TNA management believes Del Rio could be fast-tracked into the World Championship. TNA believes Del Rio could play a huge part in shifting the Latino demographic as he's the top Spanish star in the United States.

The phrase "next world champion" was thrown around.

Hell no.

VIVA DEL RIO.

Del Rio was released?

If he were hired by TNA, I'd watch TNA tbh.

*faints*

That'd be fucking stupid.

He's not going to TNA, he'd go back to Mexico first

They probably won't even have a network by the time he's available to sign.

Wouldn't that make him the first ever Latino TNA World Heavyweight Champion?  

^
It would. Unless you count Jeff Jarrett xD

And even though I wouldn't be remotely high on this because I'm sure TNA wouldn't create an original character for him, it makes complete sense in their interest as they have wanted a top Mexican/Latino star in their company for many years.

Anderson vs. Del Rio.

He's not gonna go to them now. Especially when he's been looking forward to going back to Mexico, plus he must be aware that TNA might not even have a network in a couple months.

Well there is a 90 day non-compete clause. Del Rio could do a quick three month tour of Mexico, cash in as a babyface, and hit TNA with Spanish TNA fans on his side.

Note: With "next world champion" being thrown out, it's possible Lashley is currently booked to win at Bound for Glory.

If his character is anything other than a white-bread babyface that speaks "for the Latinos" TNA fuxd up. With Mysterio not in WWE/in a dispute Del Rio is very seriously the only major Latino star in the country.

Couldn't Del Rio work both TNA and Mexico? TNA allows their talent to be booked anywhere else bar WWE and RoH.

Thought that not being a DVD thing might hinder that, come to think of it.

Well I've been told on here that AAA has a TV show somewhere in the USA, so probably not AAA, anyway. Maybe CMLL? I don't know.

He could do a joint deal between TNA and Bellator as Dos Caras Jr.

AAA's getting a US tv show in September. The only problem is? Only 2 carriers have the network it's going to be on. Not many people would see him on it anyway.

Because I heard that WWE is defending the racist guy instead of Del Rio, I hope he does go to Mexico, become even more popular, and go to TNA so they get more ratings.

I thought "AAA: sin limite" ("no limits" for all you gringos) was aired on Galavision. At least I thought I saw it on Galavision, but now I'm thinking that was Carlos Colon's promotion World Wrestling Council.

I think Alberto reverts to his real name: Alberto Rodriguez.

I've heard that people can opt out of the no-compete clause if they choose to, but in return they forfeit a big chunk of guaranteed money.

Probably why no one has actually broken that clause

Yeah, AAA's had a TV show for a long time, and I think it does air some places in the southwest.

I think he should go back to being Dos Caras Jr, personally, but he'd have to put his mask on for that...and that's frowned upon I'd guess.
