WWE: Alberto Del Rio debuts and defeats Rey Mysterio in his first match on Friday Night Smack Down
The long wait was finally over on last Friday Night Smack Down and Alberto Del Rio debuted in the ring in front of thousands of wrestling fans. For months, wrestling fans saw advertisements of this strange wrestler who called himself the epitome of excellence. All of these advertisements revolved around different qualities of Alberto. Alberto Del Rio entered the arena on Smack Down, while Rey Mysterio was addressing the crowd and talking about Summer Slam. It was ironic that both wrestlers belonged from Mexico.
Alberto Del Rio said that he belongs to a long line of Mexican kings and a peasant like Rey Mysterio should feel honoured that he was standing with him in the ring. Rey Mysterio was unimpressed by the advances of Alberto and he clearly told him that respect is earned in WWE. After some brief argumentation and a little in ring action, it was finally decided that Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio would clash in a one on one singles wrestling match in the main event. It was important for Alberto to back his words with action and prove it to the wrestling fans that why he is called the epitome of excellence.
Alberto made a superb in ring entrance by coming in classic Rolls - Royce. He also brought his special in ring announcer who announced his arrival. Everything about Alberto Del Rio was kingly and he indeed impressed many wrestling fans. Alberto and Rey Mysterio squared off against each other in the ring for a fight of a life time.
Alberto started the fight by delivering a hard kick to Rey Mysterio’s legs. He then grabbed Rey’s head and banged it hard on the top turn buckle. That was followed by successive kicks to Rey’s abdomen. Alberto Del Rio certainly impressed the wrestling fans in the first few moments of the fight. Just when Alberto was dominating every aspect of the match, Rey reversed the momentum by grabbing Alberto’s neck with his legs. While Alberto was trying to grasp the situation, Rey Mysterio tossed him in the air. Alberto rolled in the air for few times and fell hard on the ring floor. That was a sudden change in the direction of the match and Alberto Del Rio was no longer in command.
Rey Mysterio then cornered Alberto Del Rio and started delivering hard core punches to his face. The punches were followed by a big kick to Alberto’s jaw. Alberto Del Rio was now clearly frustrated as his every move was countered by another move by Rey Mysterio. Rey Mysterio was in a commanding situation in the match. Just when everything was looking so bright for Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio took the fight outside the ring. Alberto attacked Rey Mysterio’s left arm by banging it hard on the steel steps. The pain was not over for Rey, as Alberto stood on the same arm for several minutes.
Alberto Del Rio then surprised everyone by executing an unorthodox submission manoeuvre. He rolled over Rey Mysterio to smash his back on the ring floor and then applied pressure on his left arm. Rey was caught off guard and he struggled to free himself. After some moments when the pain broke the soul of Rey Mysterio, he tapped out. All of those wrestling fans that initially disliked Alberto because of his arrogance applauded him because of his unique wrestling style.
It is no joke to confront a great wrestler like Rey Mysterio on the first night of debut and defeat him. In addition, it was not an ordinary defeat, as Alberto Del Rio made Rey Mysterio tap out. It is just a signal of what other wrestlers can expect from this new fighter of Mexico. It will not be long when this great wrestler will go after the prestigious World Heavy Weight Championship.
