The television incident from the perspective of the fighter
The renowned Mexican wrestler and former WWE glory, Alberto del Río, known in the field of wrestling as “El Patrón”, has broken his silence to offer his detailed testimony about the explosive altercation that took place during his participation in the morning show “Venga la Alegría”. The event, which included the destruction of part of the stage, generated a wave of reactions and speculation that the athlete now seeks to clarify from his point of view, providing a meticulous analysis of the events.
Planning versus failed execution
During his intervention on the reality show “La Granja VIP”, the former world champion precisely explained the events of that day. He emphatically clarified that he was completely unaware that the presenters in the space and the audience in the studio had not been informed about the planned development of the segment. This fracture in communication was the main catalyst for widespread confusion, affecting both viewers and the program’s production team. The fighter explained that, prior to entering the forum, he established a clear and concise security protocol with those responsible. “They took me down and Kike (Mayagoitia) was there and everyone was doing another segment. And I said: ‘Ok, look, here I need like this and like that, and I’m going to do it there and I’m going to move…’. In other words, so that no one would get hurt at the time if I turned or pulled or something,” said Alberto del Río, underlining his initial concern for everyone’s physical integrity.
However, the morning production, according to its version, failed to transmit these critical instructions to the conducting team and the spectators present. This omission resulted in a reaction of surprise and panic when the wrestler began his performance. It is significant to note that even his personal friend, the driver Kike Mayagoitia, was outside the information circuit. “Imagine, Kike is my friend and not even he knew. So, that was the thing,” said the athlete, highlighting the level of lack of coordination.
The trigger and the immediate consequences
The turning point that triggered the escalation of violence, according to Del Río’s technical explanation, was the unexpected appearance of El Vikingo, father of his rival in the ring. The fighter described this act as a direct “lack of respect.” Upon witnessing his presence, the character of “El Patrón” took control, carrying out a sequence of aggressive actions that included pushing members of the staff, kicking El Vikingo Padre when he was on the ground and, as a final act of discontent, throwing a table. The resulting chaos was of such magnitude that the program’s management was forced to immediately cut to an unscheduled commercial break, while assistance was provided to the opponent’s father, who was left visibly affected and writhing on the floor after the physical attack.
In his final analysis, Alberto del Río was categorical in insisting that nothing that happened was improvised. “That segment was put together,” he declared. “I told them… so that they have security.” However, the wrestling show expert expressed palpable regret that the shock and commotion generated in the audience and presenters was not part of the original intended script, but was instead the direct result of a logistical and communication failure. This episode serves as a case study in the risks and complex coordination required when integrating high-impact elements of wrestling into a live, morning television format.
