So who do WWE push in the wrong place either way?
Two examples off the top of my head:
Del Rio is pushed like an Upper Midcarder when he's a Midcarder at best heat wise no matter how hard WWE ram him down our throats.
Then Alex Riley gets pushed as a jobber when he's easily over enough to fit in as a solid midcarder.

Del Rio is in his proper spot credibility and "kayfabe power level" wise, but needs a long break from the title picture.
Agreed on Riley though. He should be a midcard face alternative to Kofi Kingston at best.

Dolph Ziggler is over enough to not be jobbing every other week.

Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio should trade spots on the card.

This thread may as well be named Alberto Del Rio

I've NEVER (in the WWE) seen someone pushed for as long and as hard as Del Rio with so little justification, not since I started watching around 1984.
Remember Greg Gagne stinking up the AWA for years purely because of his dad? His push was nothing compared to ADR.

Heath Slater, his run-in with the Legends was so so entertaining and I was hoping it was the start of a minor push for Heath, maybe give him a Honky Tonk-esque run with the IC title, then 3MB happened and any momentum he may have had came to a dead stop.
Speaking of 3MB, there's really no reason why Jinder Mahal is still on TV over any other bottom of the card talent they have.

Obvious Del Rio aside, I'm also inclined to say Wade Barrett. They refuse to back the guy for a sustainable push, yet at every show I've gone to since 2010, he gets huge amounts of heat. He gets the reactions they have to pipe-in for ADR.

Did Verne ever make Greg champion? no but he did make his son in law Larry Zbysko his champ instead of Hogan. and I believe he would have pushed Rambo Greggles to a world title if he were the only one making the decisions at that point. |

No, he was too busy coming out of retirement to make himself Champion. |

No. Story I heard more than once was that Verne wanted to put the title on Greg. But too many of his top stars threatened to walk if he did. |

I've got a theory that the entire Wheel of Aggression is(or has been in the past) more over than Del Rio and the WWE is trying to pass it over to him by osmosis.
