Del Rio not liked backstage

According to sources, Alberto Del Rio is disliked by some of his WWE colleagues due to how he carries himself and the belief that his position in the company is unwarranted.

The two-time WWE Champion is seen as off-putting behind the scenes as he portrays himself as a master backstage politician and struts around as a superstar. There is also a perception that he is not over to the level of his sizable push as his matches and promos garner tepid reactions from the audience. Company officials, however, are receptive to the Mexican grappler as they feel he has superstar potential because he's bilingual, tall and has a "great movie star look." His push is also fueled by the company's need for Hispanic stars given the lack of clarity regarding the long-term futures of Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara.

Meanwhile, Del Rio admitted during an interview last week with Bay area sports radio station 95.7 FM The Game that he doesn't like many of his WWE peers. When asked who he liked the least, the second-generation wrestler said that he hates The Miz.

"This is not part of the show. I really dislike that guy. I've tried to punch him in the face several times, not in the ring I mean outside the ring, but he's just like a little girl, he's always running away from me," Del Rio said.

"There's a big difference between The Miz and I, I'm a real athlete, he's just a loud stupid little kid. He's probably one of those guys that was bullied when he was in school, that's the reason he's now oh so loud and he wants to get attention from everybody, but in my case he's the real deal."

Del Rio capped off his Miz rant by saying that he doesn't have many female fans because "he's fat and ugly."

Insecurities about your wrestling abilities and place in the company, blame the Miz.

Aww poor Miz that's mean.....I think Alberto needs to take a look in the mirror

Del Rio is a Bi-racial angel

I didnt realise The Miz was with Maryse, what a lucky Bar Steward.

I suppose alot of guys dislike Del Rio, he turns up on SD and is instantly put into the main event, and given a victory over Rey Mysterio. He's then won the Rumble, won MITB and been given 2 title reigns.

I think myself the guy does have star quality but that's just me.

I thought the pre-appearance promos were great, he has a decent in-ring look and a pretty good skill set, but... I don't find him genuine on the mic.

I definitely think Del Rio has star quality but needs to be handled better by creative to be a proper main event player. Plus he an actually wrestle!!

At the end of the day, he is much more deserving of a main event spot than Khali, Henry & Big Show

Yeah sounds like a top guy...wandering round backstage trying to punch someone "in the face" just because he has a problem with him.

Very admirable way of conducting yourself

Just because Creative have him win rumble, have two title reigns and win MITB does not warrant him walking round backstage, acting like a tool and then bashing The Miz in an interview.

If I was Vince, id knock him down a peg or two, but that wont hapeen as rightfully pointed out, he is only at that level because of his heritage.

He didnt deservce the push he got in my opinion. Put yourself in other wrestler shoes, if someone came in to your place of work, and had been shot right to the top because they "looked right" when you have slogged your guts off to make a name for yourself, youd be annoyed!

In my opinion, Cody Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler deserve a push more than what Del Rio has ever had, And the reason he is disliked is because his push has gone to his head.
