Rey Mysterio/Alberto Del Rio

[AndyWonder]

This feud is getting tiresome. It was not done right in my mind. The guys have been rivals since August and have never even had a pay-per-view match one on one. They have had so many matches on SMACKDOWN that a pay-per-view match is now no longer necessary or even interesting.

This feud is over, from what I remember. Their 2/3 falls match on this year's first Smackdown was the end of their feud.

if that's the case then it didn't go right. They could have had a match at say, Hell in a Cell, and then Bragging Rights. Them leading the Survivor Series teams was the best idea from that feud but at least have a one on one at a pay-per-view! I dont know why they avoided it!

Also a bit weird to end the rivalry with a 2/3 falls match, without a clean win. Rodriguez interfered so ADR won the last fall by countout. If anything that should put fuel on the rivalry. Would like to see a cage match or something between the two to end it all, and (hopefully) keeping Rodriguez from interfering.

Yeah that pissed me off. ADR can get clean wins, I know he can. For such a long rivalry, he should have won cleanly, thus showing that he is the dominant man. But I guess it fits perfectly with his annoying heel gimmick.

Heels win dirty... Didn't we all have that conversation when Miz was percieved as a "weak" champion?

Yeah, but when a match is pitched as the end of a rivalry, I prefer a clean finish, especially with a long rivalry like ADR/Mysterio. I dont mind the dirty finishes in general, but I just ended up thinking that if I were in Mysterios shoes i wouldnt let ADR end up on top like that and just forget about it. But hey - it's not like the the storylines in wrestling makes perfect sense all the time. :)

Good point, There are definently better ways to end rivalries than a gimmickey finish.

The Miz sometimes wins cleanly, to solidify himself as a credible champion, and to not look like he was a fluke winner. ADR does win cleanly sometimes too, but he also gets help from his personal announcer. Thats fine by me, but the end of a feud should end cleanly, like Adam Bomb II said.

I remember the epic Angle/HBK feud didnt end properly either, it was a draw after their Iron Man match and there was no rematch.
