Remember when everybody was on his shyt when he won the 2011 Rumble and thought he shoulda won the title at Mania 27 cause he was so, so great?
I called it then and I laugh at it now... this guy has been a US/IC title type guy for years and they insist on keeping him near the top for no reason. He's one of them dudes who has a spark at times but by no means should be consistently pushed in high profile storylines.
Since the time i came back to watch wrestling, which was the 2011 Money in the bank PPV, he's been getting no reaction. In fact, i remember that being the first time seeing him, and i was wondering whether he was a face or a heel, since the crowd gave no indication.
They need to push him cuz they don't have any other viable stars to market to the Latin/Hispanic market. Rey was that dude for years but since he is so injury prone nowadays, as well as the fact that he might retire soon pushes them to groom the next guy. Del Rio is it for now, Sin Cara was supposed to take that spot but has been floundering as well.
But really, Del Rio will be perma-pushed because he's Vince's "boy".
Vince doesn't care about the fans.
Vince doesn't care about MAKING money (he cares about LOSING money).
Vince has been doing this for so long and has no comp that all of WWE really is for his personal amusement.... until something goes wrong then it's everyone else's fault.
