The WWE just signed their Latino mega star! Let's make him a heel. I'm starting to think this Hispanic hero narrative that the dirty sheets are pushing isn't exactly correct. I for one am STUNNED the dirt sheets might be wrong about something.

Because bringing back Del Rio seems like a desperate and impulsive move by WWE. I don't think they had much thought to him beyond bringing him back as a surprise opponent for John Cena.

I mean, I think "WWE is working the smarks!" is the most eye rolling thing in wrestling. Every time someone says it I pretty much bring up that WWE has never been that smart. But it seems like taking the guy who got fired for slapping a guy who said some racist stuff, sticking him with the racist and having them get along so he can come back and win a title is a really easy way to hit the "Ugh, what a sellout" sentiment in part of the fanbase.

Strikes me less as working the smarks and more trying to get heat with Mexican and Latino fans, which seems like the most counterproductive thing ever. OR as a way to be passive aggressive to Del Rio. At any rate, it does indeed hit that "sellout" button very hard, because it neuters the anti-racist heroic aura that Del Rio had going for him after his firing. And thus, they have already snuffed out the legitimate potential of bringing Del Rio back.

I'm a Brit but I know the stuff with Trump which I'm guessing this is somehow derived from. I don't understand why I'm supposed to boo the coming together of American and Mexican people. Zeb: We are striving to finally achieve World peace! Cole: That bastard! Because Vince is an idiot m. There really is no other answer. He's an old out of touch moron.

I just think Del Rio should be a fiery babyface. Have him feud with Rusev or something.
