Former WWE Star Shot At While Driving

Road rage is something that is unfortunately far too common these days, but in all but the most extreme of cases, all you have to worry about is a few choice words or a middle finger being thrown your way. That was definitely not the case for one former WWE star.

Ricardo Rodriguez was a WWE mainstay alongside Alberto Del Rio, giving the champion an epic introduction everytime he stepped down the ramp. While he eventually left the company, some of Del Rio's most memorable appearances involved Ricardo's vocal talents, but unfortunately, he found himself the victim of vandalism.

Rodriguez posted a picture of his car with the back window busted out with the caption "To the asshole that literally shot at us and took out my back window while driving.... F*** YOU." Rodriguez doesn't offer up any additional details, so it could have been a prank gone wrong or a case of extreme road rage. While it's unfortunate that it happened, at least Rodriguez and his passengers weren't hurt in the process.

Rodriguez previously touched on his departure from WWE, and the eventual split from Del Rio (via WrestleZone).

"Well, it wasn't just one thing. It was a serious of events that I was like ah, just screw it. A lot of was they had nothing for me. Del Rio and I kept pitching ideas to bring us back together. We thought we did pretty well together and we eventually knew they were going to split us up. One day they came up to us and told us 'Okay this is what we are doing'. We're like oh ok, thank you. It wasn't just that though they had issues with money, I wasn't making money anymore. If you talk to anyone from WWE they will tell you that you make your money on house shows and not on TV, your money is on the house show. I got unofficially sent down and I got hurt by one of their football players and I got punished for it, which I weird and I took all these things into consideration and I realized this is not fun for me. I have been an extra for WWE and they know what I do backstage. Regal and I were running the tryouts for the extras so there is nobody in the world can I tell me I never had passion for wrestling. I was always the 1st person in the ring. WWE in a weird way made me hate wrestling so I got very bitter and I realized I got to stop this and I realized it was the company. So I woke up and said I am not coming in. Yeah I called the office and told them I am not coming in; I want a release."
