On the skepticism around Alberto Del Rio’s story that he was assaulted by a guy who had a knife causing him to miss a Triple A show:
RS: This week we had Alberto Del Rio saying that he missed the Triple A show because he got assaulted by a guy who had a knife. It’s a crazy story. It’s been on every website. I put it on my website just based on what he claims happened. Then a day later MLW put out a report with a few more details. They are very tight with Alberto Del Rio. They mentioned that he told them that he was in San Antonio, TX and that the police came to the scene after this knife attack and that he filed a police report. That there were witnesses and this whole big story. It’s a crazy story and it’s totally possible that it is true. I’m not saying that it’s not true but I called the San Antonio police department today. I talked to someone over there and I was like begging them saying, “I don’t have an address but I am just wondering if you had ANY people who reported that they were stabbed over the weekend by someone who had a knife.” Or that they were cut a bunch of times by someone who had a knife. I sat there on the phone with the person and she looked through the entire log and was like, “Nope, I don’t see any reports filed over the weekend by someone who said they were attacked by someone outside of a restaurant.” So, now, part of his story doesn’t quite match up. All day I’ve been working on this. Obviously I don’t have the answer yet but it’s things like this where I feel like all the other wrestling websites are content with just putting it up like, “Ok, it’s fine, it’s done.” I want to know what happened. I want to know the truth of what’s going on. I just feel like something doesn’t quite add up here.
EB: Yeah, I noticed that too when I read the story this morning. There was a statement and I’m not sure if it was produced by Alberto Del Rio or someone representing him but there was a lot of information not in that press release. Like what city he was in. There was no police report. I did notice there were some pictures which was a little interesting…
RS: Those pictures look odd. You’ve gotta say. I don’t know if it’s true or not but those pictures… they look odd to me. It’s like there are these lines. Let’s say you got in to a knife fight with someone. I feel like you wouldn’t have five straight lines in a row on your arm. I feel like it would look much different but I don’t know. I’m not a doctor and I’ve never been in a knife fight.
