To clarify I think Swagger really isn't the champion type. I was just alluding to WWE aborting 3487385% of their pushed stars with the buffet comment.

Anybody Thrilla 03-18-2011 07:08 PM

I seriously feel like I need to go to a Chinese buffet right about now.

Rock Bottom 03-18-2011 07:17 PM

If you did you could probably find parallels between wrestlers and what you were eating. THINK ABOUT IT

All that shit sitting in those pans or whatever that no one cares about is jabroni food. Then you get to those awesome crab legs and it's a star but you can only eat so much of that shit.

That's really nerdy to say but it's kind of true.

No, no....I like it. :y:

That also explains why I see a bunch of fat rednecks there, too.

Rock Bottom 03-18-2011 07:34 PM

If I had to relate food items to some wrestlers I'd be in for some serious thought.

Anybody Thrilla 03-18-2011 07:42 PM

Who is the current crab-leggiest WWE superstar?

They need him to be booed by Mexicans, too.

Rock Bottom 03-18-2011 08:40 PM

Morrison, Miz, Orton, Del Rio, Punk = good seafood

To be on topic about Del Rio though I look forward to his title win this year and even more forward to his being the special guest referee of the no-DQ Hebner family feud

XCaliber 03-18-2011 10:47 PM

Del Rio is lightyears ahead of Swagger imho but he's still a tad overrated.

Jordan 03-18-2011 11:34 PM

Okay I can't stand this heat on Del Rio, I think he is the next big thing in WWE. Why?

Alberto is a total throw back to the glory days of wrestling, his whole gimmick with the millions the fame, the cars, the ring announcer who helps him win, the Mexican exposure on WWE, and the fact that when he's in the moment and heated he thinks in Spanish and ends up spouting out some Spanglish that I kinda understand and I think thats awesome.

He's gonna be classic man, just look at him, nobody looks like him! He's totally unique right now and his wrestling style is sick, very realty based and stiff, that cage match with Christian on Smackdown! was fantastic, the head kick spot off the top rope was amazing, really good match.

Jordan 03-18-2011 11:36 PM

Cole/King and Alberto Del Rio vs Edge are the matches I am looking forward to the most at Wrestlemania, Cole and King because I am expecting mega heat and possibly a top 10 Wrestlemania moment if all goes well. And I am pretty sure that Edge/Alberto Del Rio will steal the show, Edge has a habit of it and these guy have super amazing and stiff chemistry. I can't fucking wait for Wrestlemania this year, I feel like im 10.

Asmo 03-18-2011 11:43 PM

On screen, Del Rio comes of as a guy who knows what he's doing - someone who is intensely focused, and knows that he's better than most of the talent out there. His gimmick adds the 'fun' element to this.

His abilities in the ring are excellent. As someone said, an old-school wrestler who can get a crowd going and put on a solid match. His promos are a bit repetitive, but i'm sure he'll only get better. Don't know if he used to cut tonnes of promos pre WWE days.

Plus, he's been built up pretty well. The entrance, the smirk, the eyebrow, Ricardo, everything only adds to his uniqueness. He stands out from the pack - and gets you to notice him.

Mr. Nerfect 03-19-2011 05:08 AM

I, too, am looking forward to Edge vs. Del Rio. After Christian just beat the #1 Contender, I'm not entirely sure that they won't add Christian into the mix, though. I don't think it would hurt the story, since Christian has pretty much been in there since he returned.

I thought that they were just going to throw Christian into Money in the Bank, but then that apparently isn't happening. Then it was The Corre match, but Chrsitian has (so far) had zero interaction with them. Could totally see Christian being in the World Title match, causing last-minute tension between him and Edge, and then Evan Bourne or even a slightly turned face Drew McIntyre helping Show, Kane & Kofi Kingston fight The Corre.

:y: If Del Rio were around in the 80's/early 90's no one would be saying a word.

GD 03-19-2011 06:35 AM

I have been in love with Del Rio's character since day one. He has the looks, the charisma (which reminds me of Eddie Guerrero at times) and the in ring skills to get the job done.

And as far as Swagger is concerned, he holds victories over Big Show, Randy Orton, John Morrison, Chris Jericho and Edge during his reign as Champion on Smackdown. The only reason his achievements are overlooked is because majority of his title reign was over shadowed by the John Cena - Batista feud. And to give him some well deserved credit, he is among the very few who have had reigns as both ECW Champion and the World Heavyweight Champion.

Skippord 03-19-2011 06:41 AM

I like Del Rio well enough, I don't think he's the greatest thing ever though. Pretty low on my list of Smackdown heels actually.

311 03-19-2011 09:12 AM

If Del Rio would react to the crowd a bit more I think he'd get a shitload more heat. Ala Kurt Angle.

Kane Knight 03-19-2011 09:21 AM

He's in the doghouse, duh. :roll:

Swagger? The All-American-Pollock?

Londoner 03-19-2011 09:22 AM

Well i enjoyed Del Rio's match on Smackdown, wasn't as bad as BDC was making it out to be atleast, but then i'm not that surprised. Del Rio just has the right charisma and imo the talent to go with it to put on great matches. Can't wait for his WM match.

Am I the only one who really enjoyed Swagger's run as champion? I thought he was BRINGING IT, but they cut his legs out too soon.

You're not the only one.

Swagger didn't exactly benefit from the same kind of build that ADR has. He had zero mometum going into MitB and then they hot-shotted the title on to him 5 days later. His promos were gold as champ and his fued with Rey was pretty great, they just didn't put him over as a star.

Jordan 03-20-2011 11:30 PM

I don't think Del Rio is perfect or anything, he is raw still, but he has so much talent already in top form and he is obviously becoming greater week to week.

Kane Knight 03-21-2011 12:36 PM

Haters gonna hate.

Kane Knight 03-21-2011 12:36 PM

Best to just whip yo hair.

bigslimjj 03-21-2011 03:09 PM

Del Rio=$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Swagger=ZZZzzzzzzzz. Mcintyre should have been in Cole's corner at WM,not Lispy Mcboring.

Kane Knight 03-22-2011 07:51 AM

Swagger is the man.

Mr. Nerfect 03-22-2011 10:00 AM

Alberto Del Rio vs. Kurt Angle is a dream match of mine at the moment. Just saying.
