WWE star Alberto Del Rio spoke with Digital Spy in the UK as hype for Survivor Series. Yo0u can read the full interview at http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/s216/wwe/news/a532189/wwe-alberto-del-rio-a-good-heel-has-to-be-an-asshole-and-thats-me.html. Among the highlights:

-Del Rio on why John Cena is so polarizing: "Because he's important. He's been the face of the WWE for years and years. Every time you have a guy like that, that's what happens. It's the same in any other sport. In football you have Real Madrid, you either love them or hate them. Here it's the same with Manchester United."

-Del Rio on the first UK born WWE Champion: "Wade Barrett is going to be a WWE champion one day, I'm 100% sure of that. I just don't know when, but he's going to have one of the major titles in the future. After that you guys can be proud of Wade Barrett for the rest of his life."

-Del Rio on whether he likes being a heel or babyface: "I love being the bad guy. I think that the audience prefer me as a bad guy. That's the reason we don't have too many good heels in the company, because to be a real heel you have to be a little bit of an asshole in real life, and that's me.

"I'm a good person. But if you mess with me I'm the biggest asshole in the world. That's the reason I'm playing the character so well. Plus being the bad guy you control everything - you control the ring, the audience, your opponent, and I like to be in control. So being the bad guy."
