PWTorch shoots on the New Alberto del Rio?

PWTorch.

The eleventh edition of WrestleMania is now on the rearview mirror, we're deeply sorry if you blinked and missed it.
With a new Breakout and a new World Champion on we go towards Aftermath (Whoever names these EBWF PPVs sure is smart.), but were the new champions and a pissed of Jericho the only things Wrestlemania XI left us? Let's take a look.

Alberto wore these to the ring... Apparently he's going for the MMA Gimmick.

At last, it looks like we finally understand what is going on with Alberto del Rio... Wait, do we?
He cut a promo before his match where he vowed to be a brutal competitor who said to discourage sportsmanship, loyalty, mercy and compassion... His souless promo (see what I did there?) might have shown us what he is up to. His red and black attire hints furthermore towards and alliance with Kane... Let's see how Alberto's MMA record turns out in EBWF. I don't see him wrestling in octagons or busting people open week after week, but with Lashley, Batista, Brock Lesnar and Ken Shamrock among many other former Pro Wrestlers who went MMA; who says it can't be done the other way around?

However, if not pulled out the right way this could really backfire on Alberto, this is not the first time a Wrestling Promotion tries to do some crisscrossing between fighting genres.

On Alberto's behalf he has a vast Wrestling Background and a decent MMA record, if someone in the EBWF can pull this off is Alberto.

Our call? Alberto del Rio pulling MMA moves in the EBWF will only be a success if creative backs him up... Otherwise he'd end up like Mr. T or Chris Masters' Masterlock challenge.

Last but not least, here's the theme Alberto walked out to at last night's Warfare, apparently soul or not he is still a proud latino.
