I liked the idea of Del Rio with Colter originally. In the realm of wrestling, it makes sense for Colter and Del Rio to both sell out on their values in order to make money together. The "MexAmerica" thing is awful though. An unnecessary add-on to the pairing. As US Champion, I think Del Rio could have used more feeding after initially winning the title -- beating guys like Zack Ryder, Titus O'Neil, etc. Just have him obliterate guys and win matches with different moves -- the execution-style superkick, Cross Armbreaker, Warrior's Way, etc.
I think the only program that really jumps out to me is a feud with Chris Jericho. You just know those matches would be great, and Jericho and Colter riffing on the mic would be hot. Jericho could cut promos about the US Title being the only championship he hasn't won in WWE yet. Jericho could put Del Rio over in really heartbreaking fashion.
