There would be weeks where he would wrestle as Spellbinder, then he would wrestle as Del Rios (his real name) for a few weeks, then go back to the Spellbinder gimmick. Sometimes he would wrestle as Del Rios on a Monday night show, then wrestle as Spellbinder later on in the same show. He did that during the majority of his Memphis run.
He also wrestled in the WWF at the time WWE as Phantasio a gimmick which was supposed to be like a magician type character but it didn't last long. He had like maybe three or four matches jobber matches then he wrestled there for a short time he was released from the company
My first thought: this is super stupid My second thought: they're gonna wrestle over whether or not magic is real? OK My last thought: OK COOL I ACTUALLY LIKED THAT SLICK REVEAL PLEASE CARRY ON
I remember watching the Spellbinder back in the 90's and he was like watching a powerhouse luchador! That gimmick was suppose get over in any territory!
That IS Big Vito…holy crap!
For those who don't know Del Rios is Phantasio.
Wasn't he also The Patriot?
@@kevinblanchard9064 Del Wilkes was The Patriot
@@wolfpacindahouse1 I got the two confused
The spellbinder was better

Tim Woods/Mr. Wrestling Would Do the Same Thing. Wrestling inOne Day & Town as Himself, & the Very Next Day & Town as Mr. Wrestling.

I thought that was meat loaf with del rio lol
I didn't know big vito was in memphis
Oh shit it is
USWA, then WCW, then the WWF/E...annnnd I don't know what happened to him after that...
The magic wand trick was the best. I wish more magician's would do that.
haha Big Vito !
YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE BALD MAN PUT THE MASK ON SPELLBINDER
I watched that episode years ago and he clearly put that mask on him
RIOS#1 👏👏👍💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Is this the same Del Rios who looked like Scott Steiner on TNAs first PPV
Yes it is
He was stabbed in some robbery in New York.
It's a bullet hole. He was shot twice,and the second bullet pierced through his body, which he nearly died.
Who y'all talking about ?
@@brandonramos1986 the Origin of Del Rios's Scar, I Believe
FINALLY!
Harry Del Rios
how he do that?
Really went stiff at 5:04
@5:22 dave browns "oh ...wow" really sold this LOL
What year was this tape
The scar(s)? Is there something I've never noticed about Spellbinder?
I never knew big Vito was in the USWA 😅
Was del rios a mute? He did not seem able to talk
He Wasn't Much of a Talker. Probably Why He Needed a Mouthpiece/Manager
Vito
He was never used right. I guess because he wasn't kin to anyone.
