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

[Chavo]

Although ppl would've thought of it as racist, he should've been packaged as a Mexican who came to America to work hard for his family in Mexico and be a face.

LOL I can see it now, he speaks broken english and does backstage segments where hes doing odd jobs to make money, his first fued is when a midcarder complains hes taking his job...........

Anyways, I've said it many of times before, the only good thing about Del Rio is his catchphrase and he doesnt even do that anymore =(

[Shaz11]

He should of held the IC Champion or US Champion, its better than giving him the WWEC early!

Drew McIntyre should have got the push that Del Rio got, Drew has got far more talent than Del Rio!

[Y2JLionsault]

Del Rio would have made a good IC Champ. I believe he really would have brought some prestige to it and I can honestly see him with the belt, the WWE title does not suit him. They clearly proved that R Truth can be a top heel and deserves the WWE Title more than Del Rio.

I think it'd be different if he wasn't packaged as Mexican JBL. Although ppl would've thought of it as racist, he should've been packaged as a Mexican who came to America to work hard for his family in Mexico and be a face. This would've gotten him extremely over as its a feel good story.

For major heel heat, at some point they should've revealed the FCW storyline where ADR actually works for Ricardo's company.

yeah it not like WWE ain't racist (in stereotypical way)

[Wrestling Realist]

but with ADR they dropped the ball why not have Richardo speak more for him and He also should have kept the title from summer slam till survivor series not losing it to cena it just makes ADR weak and punk look bad like ADR can't beat cena, so he locks cena out of the cell he only retains cause awesome truth interferes so CM Punk only champion cause Cena not and ADR was champion just to turn around and lose it to punk would been better if after cashing in he held it till punk beat him for it and i also think that punk should of lost at survivor series (ADR cheats to win) then punk win at TLC it would have meant more and gave more value to the title

[The Expendable]

They have done that before, Batista, sheamus, the miz and like it or not (I don't like it) that's the way WWE wants to create main event guys and I think a big part of this is that WWE lost a lot of top stars in a very short time (JBL, Michaels, Batista, Jericho, triple h, The undertaker), I agree, I'm a fan of Alberto but it was too soon for him, it was too soon for the miz and sheamus too but I don't think it's their fault

[Murphdogg4]

congradulations to whoever started this thread for thinking that ADR is a rookie. Way to go wwe universe

[eyehatecena]

lol. Yeah I agree with ya. You would think they would at least play up on some of his past- who his father is, who his uncle is- at least during the tour of Mexico. But like you said- WWE Universe.
Del Rio, Dos Caras Jr, whatever you want to call him is just like many others that made a name for themselves in their native countries- came to WWE and had to learn the WWE style of wrestling

[LoGik]

Hah, I would buy both and have them somewhere on display! What are you going to do though? CM Punk kind of needs the title right now and even though Mark Henry may not be the best wrestler in the world l enjoy him as the world heavy weight champion, his entrance has been my favorite as of late. My point is Alberto Del Rio is championship worthy, unfortunately WWE focuses more on $ than talent. Perhaps rather than giving him the title for the tours to Mexico & then losing it again shortly after, he should have become King of the Ring. After all he is royalty right?

then he wouldve won royal rumble,MITB,and king in the ring in one year. thatd be ridiculous. IMO they wasted a MITB on him.

[SouthernBlood]

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


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 -.-

There isnt one
