10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (July 15)

10. Alberto Del Rio Has 3-5 Years Left In Wrestling

Born on May 25, 1977, Alberto Del Rio is currently 39 years of age. A quick scan of the WWE roster reveals that he has rapidly transformed into one of the older members of the full-time touring crew. Naturally, the likes of The Undertaker and Triple H are older, but they don't wrestle on a week-to-week basis.

Speaking to Sportskeeda this past week, the Mexican star revealed that he plans to call time on his in-ring career within the next 3-5 years. This means that Del Rio will step away from action when he is either 42 or 44 years old, but he wants to spend the rest of his career with WWE.

Since returning in October, 2015, Del Rio has had his ups and downs. Due to outright stating his intentions to retire somewhere in that 5-year period, it's plausible that Alberto will never become WWE Champion again.

There's a renewed emphasis on pushing those with a longer career lifespan, theoretically. At the very least, it was interesting to learn how long Del Rio sees himself working for.
