wwe was smart in the timing of the face turn...look @ the cities they've been in since he's been champion...Houston, Miami,etc. a lot of latinos in these cities and that has helped a lot

Thats a huge part of it. I actually backed off on compaining about the title change because of this. Its smart business and makes sense. Idk if he'll stay over but it made sense to do it now if they planned on turning him any time soon.

Look at next few cities they are at:

RAW: San Jose
Smackdown: Sacramento
Royal Rumble: Phoenix
RAW: Las Vegas
Smackdown: San Diego

Wouldn't shock me if Del Rio retained past Royal Rumble and Ziggler cashed in around or at Elimination Chamber

Genius timing...he'll retain until elimination chamber, drop it to sheamus or orton and they'll go from there.

And we know who will win THAT fued.

It would be a travesty and Dolph cashed in on Del Rio. But Vince is not that senile, considering Dolph is still bland as hell on the stick.

Came in here to say this.

If they go to Birmingham Alabama, the fans aren't chanting Spanish.

I had given up on ADR when that boring Sheamus feud took every last bit of redeeming quality out of him as a heel. Didn't know how the face turn would even work, but it's workin' incredibly. He seems to be more into it, so I guess he was just as bored with his gimmick as everyone else was.

Strangely, I also thought the Miz's face turn would've helped him the same way. But it seems to me they waited about a year too long to do it and now it's only doing OK at best. I get the feeling they missed the boat on a Miz turn, and he'll probably be a heel again by the end of this year. It could've worked in 2011 when he was still a top star and had spent the last couple years steadily getting better. But all that came crashing in 2012 when he was jobbing to Brodus Clay in a minute and shyt like that... he fell off way too hard for his turn to fully work.
