Alberto Del Rio

Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez are now officially on the SmackDown brand. John Laurinaitis traded them for "future considerations". First off I find it quite odd how he could trade anyone since he is the GM for both brands, it would have just been easier saying he took Albert from Raw and put him on Smackdown. Second how do you guys think he will do going back over there? Personally I think he will win the world title by the end of the year if not next year, I just hope he isn't as boring and bland as he was before.

Del Rio has good techniques he's fast for his size almost a perfect wrestler.But it doesn't look like his attitude will change in any brand.They made him one of the most annoying heels in history pretty fast.What I mean to say is he is a good wrestler,but with the slow ring entry,with Ricardo Rodriguez as his ring announcer and his boring speeches he wastes too much time.They do seem to have big plans for him since they didn't want to use him in the tag team match on Wrestlemania 28 so it really does seem like he might become heavyweight champion at some point.I only hope it's not a long lasting one.

Yea when he cuts a promo, I feel like I am about to fall asleep and his entrances do take a long time just like how JBLs was. At least Ricardo Rodriguez is entertaining sometimes and I do too hope his championship reign is not a long one.

I don't understand why they pay so much attention to him.I realize that WWE has been neglecting the mexican superstars since Edie Guerrero's death and Rey and Cara's injuries but why him.They could have picked someone who speaks less and moves more.Usually when they inject a heel of this stature they don't move him to the top this fast,but I guess he's supposed to be different.

I know it's frustrating how fast he blew up once he got to Raw. He could have easily been brought up slowly by winning the Intercontinental or US title by being in a fued or two. Yea he is different but know so different where he sticks out to you from the rest.

Did anyone hear the Ricardo chants on Smackdown? It was epic
