Alberto's matches have been great, but he's always in the ring with someone who also consistently puts on great matches. It's not like he's carrying the matches himself like HBK and Angle used to do. That's not to take away how good he is though. I agree that he's one of the best in ring guys they have, and I have a feeling that like Bryan, we haven't seen what this guy can really do yet. |

I mean yeah, Henry has been doing a good job, but is anyone actually looking forward to Orton vs Henry? Not many guys are working harder in the ring right now than Del Rio. |

I am. Henry's matches have been good as of late. He knows how to use his strengths, and how to work around his limitations to create a good match.

Doesnt someone have to mention that the in ring product has been probably the best it has been on a consistent basis in probably forever? It seems either a lot of people have stepped it up or or being allowed to show off more of their talents then before.

ADR's spring board enzguri is so fucking sick!
I do like his matches but mic wise not there when he was in between Punk and Cena monday he looked to be at loss for words and Cena calling him a 3rd wheel in that instance was spot on he was ridiculously overshadowed and being the champ thats not good. |

I like Del Rio, but I don't think I'd put anyone over Punk right now.

Cena smashing dude's gimmick and making him look secondary to the Punk/Cena feud didn't help either. |

Why are so many of you mentioning his mic skills and character? I didn't say a fucking thing about any of that. In the ring, he is the MAN right now.
And to whoever mentioned it, yes, Del Rio/Morrison was better than Cena/Punk BECAUSE of the crazy ending to the latter. I'm not even saying that the ending to Cena/Punk didn't serve its purpose, because it definitely did, and I have no problem with it...but Del Rio just had a nice clean little diddy with Morrison, and it was the shit. What makes Punk better than Del Rio in the ring? Nothing, for my money. Just because he says he's the best in the world and wears a t-shirt saying the same thing doesn't necessarily make it true. If Del Rio yelled out "I'M FLYING" right before the enziguiri, would that be better? |

Now let me clarify, I love CM Punk too. All across the board, the product is hot fire right now. So many awesome talents who are great at what they do...but Del Rio in the ring is the Don Dada right now. Sorry guys. It's true.

I think people hold the fact that English isn't his first language against him.

That's a silly thing to hold against his in-ring skills.

I like that they have been making him more aggressive, and focusing on him in the ring/attacking people. Covers up his weakness in other areas.

I'd have to disagree a bit and go with Punk being the top or "untouchable" for in ring quality although Del Rio would still be in the Top 5/10 right now.
Del Rio does add a lot with his mannerisms and facial expressions to his matches as well as setting up the nice spin move before going into the arm breaker finisher. |

I know your topic is wrestling skill related and youre right along with Punk, Bryan and a few others the man is a god in the ring he is a prime example of why I like wrestling ,but you have to admit mic work and wrestling are all but married these days personally I brought up monday just because its such a sore spot on an otherwise untouchable performer and it just doesn't wash easy that's all And to whoever put Mark henry Over ADR I'll grant you hes been doing it well but when has being a monster heel ever required the in ring prowess of Bret Hart? so the I humbly say dude ![]() |

You can't really compare them directly, because their styles are so different.
All I'm saying is that Henry has been performing his style of wrestling as well as Del Rio has been performing his. Which you think is better, accounts to personal preference. This being the internet, most won't even consider Henry, as there is definitely a bias toward more agile, technical wrestlers, no matter where you go on the web. I used to be the same way, but I've really come to appreciate the bigman style over the past few years. In part because I realized how hard it is to have a good match, when they don't have all the tools and options that smaller, quicker wrestlers do. |

That being said, his mic work is solid too. He's about to have a lot to talk about very soon here, so keep watching. He's gonna blow your mind. Even more than Heath Slater. |

Having said that as I a said phenomenal worker and I do love that Cena Has focused his rage on ADR as I'm hopeful this fued will force Cena further away from being a five move miracle man and more of a entertaining wrestler and make ADR into more of a bastard heel So in summation you are right sir ADR is the man in ring right now Ive yet to completely warm up to him but I'd be lying if I said he wasn't growing on me by leaps and bounds everyday. Oh Slater blew my mind the day he was in the ring and i didnt end up shooting at the TV screen as a result of his presence. |

My man D. Bryan gets busy too. Probably the closest to Del Rio at the moment.

Totally but I'm hoping he gets on some kinda winning streak before he cashes in I'd also like to see him step up the viciousness like kurt angle or a certain wrestler who may or may not have had the name Benoit.
