Del Rio: The Lesnar Push?

He's the perfect wrestler to do this with, as he's not green like most guys are they call up. Don Caras was a major draw in Mexico, so he's used to being a "top of the card" guy.

Its not a push that really makes a ton of sense with most guys, but for someone whose already been a "star" somewhere, and with a guy they're clearly high on, why not? Its not like him putzing around on Superstars or wrestling competitive matches with Vladimir Kozlov would have really done anything for him besides delay the inevitable.

PLUS, he's got in his back pocket the fact that if he doesn't like the WWE, he can waltz back to Mexico and make money there. So they needed to be "serious" about making him a player if they wanted him to stick.
