Alberto El Patron took to Instagram to share his thoughts about being honored to carry on the tradition of wearing the Luchador mask of his father Dos Caras and then going to the United States and WWE as Alberto Del Rio. El Patron talks about how much he dreamed of wearing the mask of his dad as a kid and the highs and lows of living the lives of both characters. El Patron’s full statement is below:
Since I was a young child, I dreamed of being a #Luchador. While the other children played to be Batman and Robin, Superman, and other superheroes, I always wanted to be #DosCaras. At 8 years old I took it upon myself to make my dream a reality, to one day to become as big as my superhero, my father. Starting as an amateur champion, to going through numerous stages with the vision of one day being able to earn the privilege of wearing the mask of my idol, the living legend, my boss, the great Dos Caras. The mask of my father represents years of hard work and dedication which I carry with great pride as our legacy, La Dinastia Dos Caras!
One of the most difficult decisions of my life was to change my company, leave my dear Mexico and migrate to another country, learn another language and adjust to completely different culture. It was a milestone in my life, although I must confess that the most difficult part of the transition was to put my dreams of Dos Caras Jr. in a drawer to be reborn. My first love is Dos Caras Jr. it was my dream come true and will always be part of my essence. The second phase of my life allowed me to become a renowned world icon, to reach far where few have achieved it, in the biggest wrestling company in the world to be reburned as #AlbertoDelRio. I came to fulfill the American dream and to conquer extremely demanding rings. Both characters have brought me many joys, sadness, bad and good times just like the rollercoaster of life, met great people along the way and made great friends, but most importantly, I fulfilled the dreams that I always had as a child. Just as I visualized since I was just a little boy, that one day with a lot of effort, dedication and determination, I could be at the level of my father and many other legends of #WRESTLING #SISISI
