2 time champion in less than 2 years in WWE? Ricardo doesn't have a chance.

I chose ADR.

I love Ricardo and he is extremely talented but he is more of the comedic character now so I can barely see people taking him serious, he also doesn't really have a wrestler physique so he won't win a major championship where as I see ADR winning another few. <- Someone will call me up on that but oh it's true, it's damn true!

ricardo rodriguez obviously, the way he can connect with the crowds and his ability to cut promos in 2 different languages without it sounding forced. The guy is the total package.

i say put him with santino as a tag team and give them the belts for 3 years.

Yes but this is in 5 years time, Ricardo will never hold a major championship like ADR has with many more to come. Even holding the tag team championship for 3 years won't beat ADRs current 2 WWE Championship reigns because the tag team is irrelevant..

This is an interesting question because Del Rio has made an impact winning some world titles. I heard some where he doesn't expect to wrestle for very long. Will Del Rio still be in the WWE in 5 years? If Del Rio is still around I'd go with Del Rio.

Pretty much this.

I could see Ricardo getting becoming a weasel-type heel, much like Michael Cole by that time, but he will never top ADR in popularity. ADR also has more to offer, he's fairly excellent at everything he does.

Oh yeah, he also wrestles. Thought I would point that out too.

Del Rio would have been the face of SmackDown had they not discovered Edge's career ending injury. Del Rio was on a roll on Smackdown and was poised to take the WHC at WM. Instead, Edge retained in order for him to "go out on top." No one rose to being a champion faster than Del Rio. He wrestles way better than half of the roster and has great in-ring knowledge! Have you heard him on the mic? Spanish accent or not, he pisses you off right? Because he's a heel! He's SUPPOSED to do that!

2011 Accomplishments Of Alberto Del Rio, Just His Second Year In The WWE:

Royal Rumble Winner
Money In The Bank Winner
x2 WWE Champion - which is the biggest accomplishment you can gain in the WWE.
World Heavyweight Championship Match at Mania
Won his first ever Hell In A Cell Match

the thing of it is,im just not a believer in adrs ability.his worlt title reigns were boring,and i dont ever recall him being in a great match,i can see him not wanting to be a midcarder and eventually going back to mexico,which is why ricardo will be more prominently featured in 5 years,he will probably be an eric young or santino type,where adr will be fading from memory.

Picked Ricardo not necessarily as a wrestler but I see him outlasting del rio much like Davari outlasting Hassan or Matthews and the rest of Tough Enough.

I assume he'll be drafted to SmackDown, win the WHC a couple times and have a credible reign. Win the IC Title too at least once.
