And it seems in the process of turning heel. I'm dumbfounded by this.

The only thing I remember from his past 3 reigns is that Punk had Howard Finkel as special announcer at Survivor Series 2011 before he took the title back. Impressiive reigns, to say the least.  |

The big gold belt does look good on him, I must admit.

I've been dumbfounded in what they see in him from the start.

Heel Rio as WHC. Why couldn't they have done this in 2011?
I know it's the in thing to dump on Del Rio and all, but I'm personally intrigued as to where this is going, especially if it's a face Ziggler in pursuit of a heel Rio.

They are still working on that big deal, fairly fast thing. Just WWEs definition of fast doesn't exactly match up with anyone elses. Heel Rio as WHC. Why couldn't they have done this in 2011? They were too busy giving him two completely unnecessary WWE title runs. |

It could've been something they did just for Chicago due to their reaction. Guess we'll have to wait for Raw.

I've been dumbfounded in what they see in him from the start. To be fair, he's a really good wrestler and pretty charismatic..he just doesn't connect to the crowds like guys like Sheamus and Orton and Punk do. He's Kofi-ish level of pops some nights, but for the most part, yeah it's kinda just the crowd not really caring much besides SI SI SI |

That was during a WWE Title run. Only thing memorable about his WHC runs to me was his first, beating Big Show in a LMS match on SD out of nowhere. |

I actually didn't mind Alberto's 'new aggressive side' tonight as he actually looked like a ruthless bastard kicking a concussed mans head in as opposed to his usual of put the guy in the armbar for a long time.

IMO the prospect of a face Ziggler chasing the belt is much more interesting than heel Ziggler holding the belt right now.

Thank the gods that Del Rio is champ. Ziggler wearing a world title or any gold for that matter is disgusting.

That's 4 title reigns too many.

I think there might be money in him as goofy, deluded self-congratulating champion a la Angle in 00/01. Ziggler's babyface heat-build drew more face-love out of me than anything I can recall in recent times; I'd like to see the roles reversed, but it'll be up to how the crowds take to'em.

They keep trying with this guy and it just never works. Pretty much. I don't remember ANYTHING about his WWE title reigns, and although his first WHC reign was a lot better, it still wasn't great. So most of Ziggler's reign took place at a time when he was out with an injury. That's something great to look back on as well. Was this the plan from the beginning, just having Ziggler drop the title RIGHT back to Del Rio? After holding the MITB case for so long. Seems like we've been here before...because we have, with Edge, and it did him no favors either! You'd think WWE would learn. Then again, I don't know how many times I've uttered that line. |

Thank the gods that Del Rio is champ. Ziggler wearing a world title or any gold for that matter is disgusting. I'd rather both of them be demoted. I like both guys. Del Rio is not as bad as people make him out to be, but there are just way too many guys presented as " main eventers" in the narrative. With the Shield getting hugely over as midcard champions, WWE possibly finding a new top guy in Daniel Bryan, and Cena on his way to becoming a "legend", there's no need to artificially inflate half the roster's importance anymore, and neglecting the other half of the roster in the process. Just use what notoriety they already have to give the Intercontinental Title a rub. |
