While his surprise release from WWE is still fresh on every wrestling fan's mind, now seems like the right time to look back at Alberto Del Rio's four years as a member of the main roster. For all the negatives that people have to say about him, he has certainly had his fair share of good matches and entertaining moments. Let's focus on the good, and we'll let the bad get discussed at another time. Lord knows there will be plenty of that speculation in the days to come, with the way he was let go and what was rumored to bring it on. One thing that you have to say about Del Rio is that you always knew what you were going to get from him, for better or worse. There were no erratic performances. There was no "off" days. You knew what you were getting when he had a microphone in his hand, and you knew what you were getting when he had himself a match. That's a good trait to have in the wrestling business, because it means you can be counted on to deliver a certain something, night in and night out. He's sure to land on his feet somewhere, whether it's back in Mexico, TNA, or even Jeff Jarrett's upcoming Global Force Wrestling promotion. For now, let's look at the man who made "destiny" a catchphrase.
