Ricardo Rodriguez... should he be wrestling?

[Andrew]

Ricardo is a great star in my opinion and has potential to be on the roster, he's with Del Rio for now which I don't mind but in the future I see him splitting away from Del Rio.

What are your thoughts on this topic.

 

[Prodigy]

Andrew be real, does Ricardo really have the look of a Wrestler though? He's short, not stocky at all and white as hell. Hate him or love him Del Rio has the look and will be a Champion in the future, Ricardo will never be Champion.

Now tell me...

So what? That's FCW where no one watches apart from people in Florida and marks. He still looks scrawny and does not have the look of a Champion. He's a perfect manager and should stay that way.

 

[Andrew]

I only watch FCW every now and then, there's talent there and Ricardo's still young so he most likely will end up as a wrestler.

Go look at Evan Bourne who's much skinnier or Yoshi Tatsu...

 

[Prodigy]

I'm not saying Ricardo might never Wrestle in the WWE but honestly what have either Bourne or Tatsu done of relevance in the WWE? Tatsu is jobbing away somewhere and Bourne is doing the same, even though Bourne has the tag titles they've made those titles mean shit.

 

[Andrew]

Ricardo is a decent wrestler, while I enjoy him being manager Del Rio could have just said Ricardo will do the wrestling for him for the time being.

It could have added more to Del Rio's injury angle and done something.

 

[Doink]

I agree with Andrew, Ricardo is actually pretty damn talented. Look of a champion doesn't mean jack shit. Mysterio, HBK, Daniel Bryan to name a few. Looks ain't everything.

 

[Prodigy]

And you think Ricardo has what it takes to get on the roster and get to a higher spot than Bryan, Bourne, Barretta, Kidd etc?

 

[Andrew]

I agree Ellis.

The looks ain't everything, he has potential to be in some decent feuds.

I could see him actually being a tag team with one of the guys from FCW or even Hunico if they ever decide what they'd do with him.

 

[Andrew]

Ricardo won't be anything high, but a wrestler on the roster who is occasionally on RAW or SD (Which ever show he's on).

A bit like where Hunico or Mahal is right now.

what is it with people and body types, Danielson does not look like a champion neither does Punk. And MARK IS FAT. this is why i get pissed of at wrestling is cause people are different and and they should want to be different, tell me how much fun wwe would be if everyone was shape and size like barrett. 30 guys that looked like wade.

NOW ANDREW I love ricardo to death but the guy will not be a champion ever (this pains me to say this), unless the wwe brings back the light-heaveywight title or hardcore. The guy should stick to manager cause ADR is not gonna ge that heat by him self, give him more mexicans to manage primo and he others. shit i would like him to manage hunico and his bike friend.

 

[Andrew]

You bring up a good point when you said he should manage Epico & Primo.

I'd go with Hunico because he's Mexican where as Primo & Epico are Puerto Rican...

That could work with the managers in WWE now. I really enjoy Ricardo as a wrestler however if he does wrestle, I believe WWE should allow him to show what he can actually do.

Matt Striker: Good manager for Big Daddy V but turned into a jobber of a wrestler but got lucky when he got to be both an announcer and backstage announcer
Armando: Great manager for Umaga that turned into a jobber of a wrestler that turned into ECW GM? that ended up getting released
Daivairi: Great manager for Muhammed Hassan & Khali that turned into a jobber of a wrestler that ended up getting released

See an emerging pattern?

 

[Prodigy]

Dale has a great point. Rarely have we seen Managers that have turned into good wrestlers and I really think it would hurt Ricardo.
