My friend just pointed out, for a guy who had the most boring pre-debut vignettes we've ever seen, Alberto Del Rio has turned out to be awesome. Mexican JBL all you want, what a rising star.
He won me over as far as his in ring ability goes on his first night against Rey Mysterio, the character won me over gradually with Ricardo and his feud against 'that little chihuahua', even his theme music screams awesome.
It seems WWE are high on him too, he beat Rey Mysterio clean on his debut, faced HHH in his 'one night return' and was the man to interrupt Shawn Michaels during the Hall of Fame announcement.
La Esencia de la Excelencia, Él es.. Albertooo Delll Riiiiiiiiioo!!

My only problem is that Ricardo Rodriguez speaks with such conviction and such speed that his words are a blur half the time.

My only problem with Alberto Del Rio is that "fairly quick" jokes got old REALLY fast, so I have no problem with Alberto himself and he's easily one of my favorite superstars right now.

RR was born in Cali But yes Del Rio es un hombre con honor...él es un hombre honesto I'd like to respond in kind, but my keyboard doesn't have accents and I hate copying everything from the symbols slot on Word. I do love the entrance announcement though. While most people in the audience can't understand it, I really appreciate how they have Ricardo hype him up so much every match. If only they had the dedication to do that with every wrestler. |

I think they were some of the most compelling vignettes we have seen. Not boring at all. Really got you into his character and it was very subtle, which is unusual for wrestling.

I liked them at first, but they just seemed to drag and last about 8 weeks. not to sound like a jerk, but is esencia, not escencia My bad. |

I like him a lot but he is being pushed because he is Mexican. His feud with rey Mysterio was like they were in an old school western and there was only room enough for one minority on smackdown.
He is talented but being pushed to the moon because of his ethnicity.

I'm going to say this with no shame. I want a sub-forum on this message board solely for Alberto Del Rio. He's that good.
