我从未些许怀疑过Alberto Del Rio在WWE脱掉面具有任何的问题，主要的问题只是墨西哥人太执迷不悟于他们的传统而已。为了整个世界牺牲某些已经有点过于死板的传统这判断很精准明智嘛。

3.前WWE创作团队编剧Dan Madigan接受采访时表示他在WWE最失望的事情就是轻量级没有得到振兴以及没有能够把lucha libre风格带到WWE。

他还谈到Alberto Del Rio在WWE登场时摘掉面具的决定：“他摘掉面具是一个聪明的举动，一个非常聪明的举动。如果你带着一个著名的面具角色从墨西哥来，摘掉面具，寻找一个不同的角色并不会失去名望，这是一件可怕的事情。就像Uutimo Dragon，他从来没有得到应有的上位，因为他们不知道如何使用他。几年前曾有一段时间，WWE想要他回来，但是希望他摘掉面具。看起来人们并不了解面具在墨西哥的重要性，那就像是一个摔角手的基本元素。Mistico——我想现在是Sin Cara，他曾激起一片水花，但是他们现在不知道怎么处理他了。想像一下一位面具选手的商品，那是很大的收入。但是他们内心并不了解luchalibre。”

Former WWE creative team member Dan Madigan on his biggest disappointment in WWE, Chris Benoit’s title reign and whether he viewed him as a mid-card champion

On his biggest disappointment when in WWE: “I really wanted to create a high octane Cruiserweight division and build it around Ultimo Dragon, and bring in guys he’d worked with in Mexico and Japan like Super Crazy, Juventud, Psychosis. I realized writing my book, that there’s a huge latino community in the US and I wanted to bring a strong lucha libre style to the WWE to bridge the cultural gap. But it didn’t happen. That’s one of the first big fights I had with Vince.

The concept of the masked wrestler is lost on the WWE, they don’t really understand it, they don’t appreciate it, unlike Mexico where that’s the focal point. I think in America, it’s a whole different ballgame, the psychology is different. I lost that fight a couple of times in the room. At one point, we lost Ultimo he went back to Japan, and we just had Rey, Vince goes, ‘We have one masked wrestler in the ring, any more of them on the roster and it’ll confuse the fans.’ I said to him, ‘Vince, there’s 10,000 wrestlers in Mexico in masks, no-one’s confused.’ I looked around the room and I wasn’t gonna win that fight. That was the biggest disappointment, that they wouldn’t let lucha libre be a featured style on the show.”

On Alberto Del Rio’s decision as opposed to other Mexican stars: " He took the mask off which was a smart move, a very smart move. If you’re gonna come up from Mexico with a famous gimmick, take the mask off, find a different gimmick don’t lose the reputation, that’s the awful thing. It’s like Ultimo Dragon, he never got the push he deserved because they never knew what to do with him. At one point a few years ago, WWE wanted him to come back but wanted him to take his mask off. It seems like people don’t get how important the mask is in Mexico, it’s like the essence of the wrestler. Mistico, I think Sin Cara now, he made a big splash, now they don’t know what to do with him. Think of merchandising with a masked wrestler, it could be huge. But they don’t understand the lucha libre mentality.”
