That's how you do NOT build a main eventer!

Congrats WWE!

Congrats for giving Alberto Del Rio the most prestigious championship in the business to a rookie that is not ready.

That's, people, how you do not create a main eventer.

Yes because you dont create main eventers by picking up rookies, giving the belt to them, and hoping that they become top Superstars for magic.

You have to build them with long and passionate feuds with other superstars... You must give them the chance and the time to evolve.

Now do not misunderstand: ADR is damn good in the ring... but as for the entertaining factor... God he is awful!
He is boring and repetitive... (Try to prove otherwise...)
And he would have been even more boring if he hadnt Ricardo Rodiriguez in his corner.

There was a time when some really good people had to wait several years before winning a World Title.
And today there are people who deserve the WWE Title way more then ADR.

Instead no WWE... You wanted to create a main eventer from nothing.

You gave Alberto the Royal Rumble, the MITB and the WWE championship in a year since his debut...

And what you have now? A superstar that (not by his fault) hasn't become the top heel you were looking for...

Applause for that.

I agree, they screwed to pooch with Del Rio

I like ADR but they dropped the ball on him.

Maybe the problem is that they gave ADR the ball too soon XD

WWE should had give Alberto more time as a single competitor without any World Title or any major victory like RR and MITB.

He was too much of a flash.

He was at the top too soon.

For me they gave him to much ball at the wrong time, IMO he should have stayed on smackdown and been their top heel, instead of moving him to Raw, having him lose all his smackdown momentum then bang he was back up again.

He should have won at Mania IMO, they he could have really played off 'ending edges career' even though it was over anyway Edge seemed like the kind of guy who wouldnt have minded putting someone over in his last match.

Again its because he moved to raw that his reigns have been so lacklustre, if he had stayed on smackdown there would have been no need for him to win MITB, and I think D-Bry VS Del Rio would be a better match than anything else they can do at mania with the current smackdown roster IMO.

It's a stupid formula that's been used over and over again. It doesn't work for every one. It worked for The Miz and Sheamus in the long run, but when they both first won the WWE title, many couldn't take them seriously and said they didn't deserve it. A wrestler should be awarded the WWE championship as a REWARD for their hard work, rather than be given it in an attempt to get them over.

[Yano88]

Are u so sure that it worked for Miz and Sheamus?

I mean, sure Miz is back in the main event scene but taht's because his tag team partner R-Truth was written off tv.

Last month Miz was in the tag team division XD He was out completely from the WWE championship scenario.

And Sheamus... Sheamus captured the US Title AFTER the WWE title. What a huge step back if u ask me.

Not to mention his current storyline with Hornswaggle -.-

The WWE seems to have lost the ability to think long term. Vince appears to have developed ADD in his old age

Well, first off Alberto Del Rio isn't a rookie. I do agree with you that they put the belt on him too soon. He didn't show enough to suggest he was capable of holding the championship. I prefer it when a superstar is built up slowly over a few years. Edge is a perfect example. Although sometimes what they done with Del Rio does work. Lesnar and Angle won their first championships in their first year and went onto become huge stars. I think the fact that Del Rio has been wrestling for a while and hes already in his mid 30s is a reason why they put the belt on him so quickly.

TBO makes a great point. The belt should be a reward not a way to put someone over.

[BlazersDozen]

I don't think it worked for Miz at all. He won the title, lost it, jobbed out to Alex Riley for a little bit, wasn't up to much then was put into a tag team with R-Truth as the leader but was outshined by R-Truth.

The thing that got Sheamus over was his face turn, not his title wins.
