Pretty certain it'll either be Ziggler or Ricardo facing Del Rio at the next PPV. Even if Alberto had a mini-feud with Ricardo along the way towards the show - even with a match or two - & Ricardo ended up announcing Ziggler during his title match.

If they're giving him a character again finally by making him a delusional Mexican hero, that's fine with me. Makes perfect sense for him too. That'd be a great heel character route for him. He could be like a Mexican Antonio Cesaro. "Be like me my fellow Mexicans - I'm so much better than you - aspire to be ...ALBERTO DEL RIO!!!" Exactly, I hope that promo means more to come from him. Give him some segments similar to Ryback's bullying where he does miniscule things for Latinos that they normally wouldn't care so much about, and have him act like he's Gods gift to Mexicans. It'd be great. |

An even better question is why Alberto Del Rio is World Heavyweight Champion? Payback accomplished a Ziggler face turn and told a good story with ADR revealing his true colors but my god, why does he still have the belt? Because they can't book Del Rio without a title involved. the WHC is now officially not a real belt. it's just a vanity prop for Alberto Del Rio to feud over ala Kurt Angle's gold medals or Owen Hart's Slammy trophies. |

Bret Hart style promo where he proclaims himself.a hero.
If he keeps up the self serving promos with the ruthless agression, hell yes

I thought with him talking about Mexico needing and having a hero in him. I thought, then sighed and ugh that it's setting up the return of Rey Rey.

Even if Alberto had a mini-feud with Ricardo along the way towards the show - even with a match or two - & Ricardo ended up announcing Ziggler during his title match. I don't see Ricardo wrestling Del Rio on PPV unless Del Rio drops the title on free TV. An even better question is why Alberto Del Rio is World Heavyweight Champion? Payback accomplished a Ziggler face turn and told a good story with ADR revealing his true colors but my god, why does he still have the belt? Because WWE knows there's a huge Latin audience out there -- but they want to manufacture said crossover star based on what they themselves want him to be, rather than maybe what said group would want. I don't dislike him or anything, but I think ADR might have set the record for most effort ever put into a single failed main event star ever. I think WWE should pull the plug on Del Rio and put him in a role similar to Miz's. Firmly in the midcard, but with enough star power and credibility that a midcard title looks more important/relevant just by him holding it or competing for it. |

So you could say Del Rio is this generation's Billy Gunn? |

WWE is great right now. Mysterio just needs to stay away forever.

Genuine answer:
Bret Hart as the US heel/Canadian hero.
Nothing else to it in my eyes, and I'm glad, I love ADR so making his offensive style so aggressive (get the wheel...) and his character defined is great. If they let him stick with it for longer than 3 weeks.

I thought it was WWE trying to turn ADR into the Mexican version of Bret Hart.
