There are multiple main events for Wrestlemania, what you are talking about is the last match.
I doubt Alberto will be in the final match at WrestleMania though. |

I can honestly see them having Christian beat him for the title match thanks to Mysterio interference or w/e and we get Edge/Christian for the title and the final battle between Mysterio/Del Rio. Raw is going to be a clusterfuck because you have 4-5 guys who could easily be involved: Orton/Cena/Punk/Miz/Diesel

I'm not sure I understand the resentment here. Guy can obviously go in the ring, I don't think that's being disputed. He can obviously talk better than a good chunk of the roster, and he's young/fresh/has a ton of promise. What's the problem again?

I love AL, but I think he looks for more depth in guys he likes and their promos. Which is fine, I guess I'm just a more shallow wrestling fan.

Del Rio is not a bad wrestler. But he's nothing amazing. Del Rio is not cringe-worthy on the mic. But he is not "a natural". He has a stupid, generic gimmick and his career has consisted of telling Rey Mysterio he is short. As an overall performer, he is simply uninteresting. |

Can someone please show me a specific example of Del Rio being 'amazing' on the mic? I keep hearing all this talk about how good he is, but so far all I've seen is some pretty generic cocky-heel stuff.
When I think of a 'natural' on the mic, I think of someone like Jericho, or Foley, or even Flair back when you could understand what the hell he was saying. Someone who actually has something to say every time he comes out. Del Rio's promos have so far been pretty insubstantial, just "ha-ha, I'm going to ween because I am better than joo!" over and over again. He's not bad, but I don't see what everyone's getting so worked up about. |

He has only been in WWE for 6 months and people were holding out hoped for the traditional guard of "upper midcarders" such as Morrison (who can't talk), Christian, etc. I am not a mark for Del Rio but he is very good and he will make whatever he is in work. I am interested to see where everything goes because RAW is a clusterfuck and Edge vs Del Rio doesn't feel like a WrestleMania main event. Of course, 8 weeks of build and I'll probably be blowing 60 bucks like a crack whore. Elimination Chamber has 3 weeks build and could be very interesting since it is now the detour on the Road to WrestleMania.

I should rephrase what I said earlier. I like Del Rio, I'd have just preferred someone else winning the Rumble.

He's not a bad in-ring worker, by any means. I just have a problem with his god-awful blandness on the mic.

It may be that what he says is some what simplistic but sometimes it is good to be short and sweet. You're also missing the 2nd part of Del Rio: he does most of his talking in the ring and hires Ricardo Rodriquez to say it all in spanish. Here is what Ricardo says in English: http://www.wrestlingforum.com/smackd...oductions.html |

Once again, Del Rio has only been in WWE for 6 months so he hasn't had a lot of chances to cut "epic promos" or whatever. I imagine that will soon change.

I like Del Rio fine but there's 2 other heels who are way more over then him and could have won convincingly, Punk and Barrett. That being said he was my 3rd guy so I'm not pissed or anything.

They're trying to make new stars and this is their way of catapulting a new one but at the same time Del Rio hasn't really been around long enough to have that much credibility whereas guys like Punk and Orton do and having him win it entering so late into the match doesn't help matters but anywho he's great in the ring but he's good enough on the mic I suppose.

Aside from the slow beginnings to the singles matches, I thought the PPV was very entertaining. Too bad Booker and Nash didn't last longer though.

That doesn't make a lot of sense because they would have chosen a face Mexican if that was their goal. Del Rio had to come out with Dos Caras Sr. to get a pop in Mexico during their tour.

Honestly Jay Uso would have been a better pick to win because Del Rio was not what I was expecting to happen.

Nash needed to be eliminated by Wade Barrett after his disgusting comments toward Barrett's wife (not sure if he has one really though.)

Del Rio isn't terrible on the mic, but he hasn't shown "amazing" either.
JBL was amazing. |
