Could Rey make the leap to Main Event/World Champion?

Right, the recent segment on Smackdown between Teddy Long, Network Guy and Batista when they were announcing the new number 1 contender, the description of Rey seemed to get the crowd going quite good. So do you think Rey could make the leap from cruiserweight to main event, like Eddie and Jericho have done?

I would have to say yes and no. Ultimately, Rey doesn't have the height of a world champ. Yeah, it's a real shitty reason, but I feel it will always hold him back. When you compare him to guys like Batista, JBL etc he isn't near them (although Rey did "beat" JBL recently).

Saying that though, Rey does have the ability to do it. Amazing ring work, ok-ish on the mic, pretty much what any world champion needs.

I personally would one day like Rey to at least have the chance to compete for it, whether he would win it is another story.

Your thoughts?
