WWE alum Alberto Del Rio offers health insurance, wrestling training with new wrestling group
Members of two of the most famous pro wrestling families are joining forces to make pro wrestling and pro wrestlers better.
WWE alum Alberto Del Rio (aka Alberto el Patron) is teaming with fellow WWE alum Chavo Guerrero Jr. to form a new pro wrestling promotion based in Mexico titled Nacion Lucha Libre.
Del Rio, 42, who lives in Texas, is from the famous Dos Caras/Mil Mascaras lucha libre/pro wrestling family. Chavo’s family (The Guerreros) is wrestling royalty, too.
Born in Mexico, Del Rio is very creative (like Chavo) as well as a smart businessman, good product endorser, talented wrestler and a leader.
A former MMA fighter, Del Rio is not only helping grow Combate Americas MMA, but he is training to fight for the company later this year. Combate Americas, the first Hispanic MMA sports and media franchise, is run by CEO Campbell McLaren, who is the co-founder of UFC.
Watching McLaren run his business -- the way he treated people and how he even pitched-in with cage set-up -- inspired Del Rio.
And Nacion Lucha Libre is stepping up its game by providing health and life insurance for wrestlers.
Nacion Lucha Libre, which will also have shows in America, will debut on July 11 in Mexico City. Del Rio and Guerrero will wrestle on shows, and a wrestling school associated with the company will open in Mexico, too.
Plans are for TV on Sunday nights, beginning July 13 on Imagen TV.
One interesting idea is to combine with Combate Americas for a special MMA and pro wrestling show.
