WWE Hall of Famer JBL just lit a fire under the wrestling world with his latest commentsand hes putting Alberto Del Rio, now known as Alberto El Patron, at the very top of the game.
During a recent episode of Something To Wrestle With, which dropped in March 2025, JBL didnt hold back in praising Patrons recent performance at AAAs Rey De Reyes event.
The last match they had with Del Rio and El Hijo del Vikingo was one of the best matches Ive seen this year, this decade it was absolutely fantastic, JBL said. They do tons of run-ins, a lot of stuff doesnt make any sense necessarily to American wrestling fans. That all made sense.
But he didnt stop there. JBL went on to make a claim that turned heads.
That last match they had with Del Rio he goes by Patron now, was just outstanding. I think that Alberto Patron is the best wrestler in the world today. Not in Mexico, not heel, best wrestler in the world today.
For a guy whos spent over 30 years in the business and called countless matches in WWE, thats a major statement. JBL even put Patron in the same breath as legends like Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.
Ive never seen anybody better. Hes a ring general like you wouldnt believe, and he is absolutely on top of his game. Youve got to see him wrestle. Hes that freaking good right now.
With comments like that from a respected veteran, the wrestling world is officially on notice. JBL believes Patron is putting in the best work of his lifeand if youre not watching, youre missing out.
