WWE news: Ricardo Rodriguez said WWE made him hate wrestling

When Ricardo Rodriguez was working alongside Alberto Del Rio in the WWE, he was almost more popular than the man he accompanied to the ring. However, the WWE chose to split the two up and then ended up sending Rodriguez down to NXT. After an injury, they moved him to the Spanish announce team and then finally released him from his WWE contract. In an interview with Busted Open Radio on Friday, Rodriguez said that the WWE made him hate wrestling before he left. According to Rodriguez, he and Del Rio were at their best when they were teaming up. He said the WWE chose to ignore their ideas and just split them up and then they had nothing left for Rodriguez to do in the company. The WWE went ahead and sent Rodriguez down to NXT, which he said hurt his financial situation because most WWE superstars make their money on the house show tour, which he lost out on in NXT. He then said that, once he was down wrestling in NXT as a masked wrestler, he was injured by someone he described as “one of their football players.” He said that the injury was because of the inexperienced trainee and the WWE punished Rodriguez for it. Rodriguez said that he was helping cast the extras in the WWE and was doing everything asked of him, and the way the WWE treated him over time made him hate the professional wrestling business. That is when he called the WWE and asked for his release. Ricardo Rodriguez also told Busted Open Radio that the WWE rumors that Triple H insulted him was true. He said that Triple H called him “bumblebee.” He then said that Triple H used to call Savio Vega and Super Crazy the same name, and it was a derogatory term used to describe a larger sized Latino wrestler doing flips. It just adds to the speculation that there is an undertone of racism when it comes to the WWE and their Latino stars.
