Alberto Del Rio Gimmick Idea

[Captain2]

I was bored at work and I was trying to think of various gimmicks that would make me want to see someone who at the moment I'm just not that interested in. I was thinking however that ADR as a Rich heel desperate for the fans approval would be pretty entertaining. For example, he makes his entrance to no reaction so the next week he comes out with pyro. Still not the reaction he's looking for. The next week he has even more pyro. The week after he has his extravagant amount of pyro and some obviously planted women fawning over him like he's one of the beatles.

Then, Ads on WWE TV (Paid for by Alberto's massive fan base) portraying Alberto as a man of the people and exagerating his accomplishments with facts like "Alberto came to the WWE after running out of suitable opponents in Mexico". Videos showing the face in whatever feud he's taking part in as a coward who obviously doesn't love the fans as much as Alberto does as well as taking their actions out of context to make Alberto look like a peace loving man.

I just thought it would probably make me actually want to see the guy wrestle and give him some much needed edge.

Alberto Del Rio has been giving everything to look like a big deal, but his lack of personality kills any interest.

At times, I feel so bad of him, then I remember how he is just taking time away from people that do not get as many chances.

I was excited for his debut and then it all fell flat a few weeks later. WWE should either cut their losses or have him be a trainer or something.

Could perro save the del rio gimmick? I love it when he says that.

[slappy]

He should buy all the contracts of the guys WWE doesn't use. It'd be like his version of the Million Dollar Corporation.

[Red Impact]

I still think Mexican Batman woul have gotten him over as rover, but it's too late now.

[onetruemisfit]

He needs to be full blown tony Montana

They should give him the gimmick he has in Slam City and make him a barista.

I feel you're misremembering, he was more than well over as a heel from his debut until post-Extreme Rules, post-loss to Christian where they stopped writing anything interesting for him.

Then when he turned babyface he was well cheered by all, up until they...stopped writing well and made half of the audience prefer to support racist Jack Swagger over him (Swagger being someone oft-accused of being dull as feck too).

He's gotten reactions when he's written well for, same as every other roster guy, the fact the WWE relied upon 'he's Mexican!' and did doss all else is on the company, not the brilliant wrestler & personality behind Del Rio.

I know! He could play a guy that gets fired and never shows up on TV again! I think that would get him over.

[Nickybojelais]

Have him acquire Ryback & Curtis Axel as hired help to create the unstoppable force known as Rybaxdel.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

Resign Jesus and be his bodyguard, and bring back Ricardo and have a new LWO

[champviadq]

His character sucks but he's a very talented in-ring wrestler.

He needs to drop a Spanish pipebomb
