But on Smackdown, he learns to work as a face (and has honestly shocked me with how good he's been) and may someday cross over and become one of the legit top guys in the company. I can see why some people would say to get rid of SD (and I for one do not watch a whole lot of SD anymore, I'm much more a casual fan who tunes in from December to April - Mania season), but I appreciate it for what it is and realize that the spot it holds to let talent develop in the WWE is very important.

I really didn't like Del Rio as a heel, but he is totally growing on me and I find myself rooting for him as a face. You pose a good argument.
