I like Del Rio. The guy has too much talent not to be. The only thing is will the WWE let him showcase it properly??? His success in Mexico is only the tip of the iceberg. He's got international wrestling experience with very good success, being a member of the Mexican National Wrestling team/Greco Roman. He was training for the 2000 summer olympics before Mexico pulled wrestling due to lack of funding, and from everything I have read from USA Wrestling and The Mat, there was very strong chance that he would have qualified. He also holds a 9-5 professional MMA record while training under former UFC tournament champ, Marco Ruas. Granted CroCop KO'd him, but was any fight fan expecting any less in that fight??? His next PRIDE bout he went 15 minutes with veteran Kazuhiro Nakamura. He hasn't beaten anyone of note in MMA, but he's still done it.

If I were WWE, I would let him use as many aspects of his background as possible. I caught his last match on Smackdown against Hardy and when he hit the step up enzugiri, the crowd reacted as if they had never seen the move performed before.

i don't even like cody rhodes, he;s just hell of a lot better then the new talent that just jumped into the main event. Flash in a pan that's going to die out soon and I guess they;re getting all they can out of them, but why doesn't the oh so intelligent IWC not see on to this? For years we've seen jobbers and talented workers in the same role, the best rise to the top working through bad gimmicks and slowly forcing their way into the crows attention. Now that everything is given to these rookies, no one's giving them shit or even pointing out their flaws. You say they're great superstars with bad booking. lmao.

For a 2nd generation star who's always had a job available too him, Cody's been working to make his own path. He's the kind of guy that you can tell just from looking at em that he wants to pave his way into the WWE, the same way all the greats before him already has. fuck i bet he's already done a promo saying that before too. Last week Miz had a promo of his ups and downs and if you look at em now he's a bonified star who's worked through the trenches into his spot. That's how real prowrestlers want to do it and that's why JBL was stiff as fuck whenever it was his time to put someone over.

Randy Orton started out, annoying as fuckk. with the highlight of his career being injury updates on his status pretending like someone cared. Triple H then carried him to the top and the dub hasn't looked back since. I don't know what Flair Or triple H said to Orton, but since then his biggest move is the dropkick that injured his leg in the first place. This guy won't take a risk at all, ever, and as a fan of the guys who would break their leg twice to be in his spot, you look down on that shit. His PPV matches, would mainly consist of a 5 minute headlock, and his cena feuds there would be a headlock every 3 minutes since Cena can't control a match. ever. Blame WWE all you want but you can work around restrictions. Fuck Orton, Fuck Cena for never evolving and playing their careers safe so we can see em do the same shit for 12 years.

Sheamus, he won't last in the main event spot for long. I don't even closely fathom how that's even a possibility. He just has a variety of moves and he knows how to perform them safely, that's why he's in the main event alongside the Cena and Ortons. He won't stay here for long since he lacks main event mic skills (you can't tell me this guy can stay in the main event the way he is, and you can't really tell me a gimmick is going to change anything.) Same with Barret, he's suppose to have mic skills but i'd rather listen to sheamus talk. Next Big thing? Not anytime soon, anyone can win a belt. It's the feuds that don't have a belt tied in with it, where an actual working storyline has to be present. Barret would be nothing without Nexus. All i can see him doing proficiently is bugging the miz. Not main event shit.

Albert Del faggo is just lol, only reason he's in the WWE is because of his fabled past. he's the guy who wore a luchador mask and got knocked out by cro crop. Just another example of putting actual wrestling in the main event. It's not everlasting. Same with everyone else. Drew has nothing on paul burchill so that's all i gotta say on that.

Cody is the only one showing me potential of being able to hit the main event and stay in it. So that's that now i gotta redirect this post cause you fucking spammed in two threads you spamming smurf. fuck you

Orton doing the same shit every year, disagreed. I don't see him and Triple H attacking each others families every year. (Although Orton vs. H has happened before.

I somewhat agree with Colin. It's different storylines which feature the same people..

Like with HHH/Orton, it's happened many times. Hell, sometimes WWE just make the battle over the belt. HHH/Orton have feuded over the evolution angle and over McMahon (Plus several encounters along the way).

Same with Cena/Orton.

I know, im just saying, Triple H attacking Orton in his "home" (i don't think that was his real house was it?) was a nice little tidbit as well as Orton taunting HHH by "breaking shane's leg" and "injuring" Vince McMahon

I'm going to have to disagree about Cody Rhodes. Just doesn't have the "it" factor to me. Not to say he will never make it, but he needs a lot of work. In my eyes he's basically a mid carder. He's playing his dashing character well, however i can't see him turning into a heart break kid type character. We all seen him attempt to play face in his first run / debut run in the WWE.

I think he's a hard worker too, and could one day perhaps make it to the top, however for NEXT big thing, Rhodes is a mile away.

Miz. Above anyone else in the company right now the guy embodies what they looks for. He's an excellent mic worker, has improved by leaps and bounds in his in ring work, has charisma out the ass and seems to live and breathe business from the earliest sight of him (Real World). 2011 is going to be Miz's year... if not late 2010. Miz is on the verge of something huge and they really can't be afraid to push the guy to the moon. He's got the best chance of being the next mega star out of anyone in the company right now. He also seems to have a quality that only few have possessed although it's yet to be seen, the ability to flip between heel and face in an instant. Something only guys like Rock, Trips, SCSA and Jericho have been able to do.

Barrett, without a doubt the guy has a huge future ahead of him. He was pushed into the main event scene perhaps even harder than Sheamus. All the guy really needs is his first title reign and he's good to go. His deciding factor still remains in how he fairs outside of the Nexus storyline.

Drew I'm glad they opted for the slow build on this guy because I'm honestly not completely sold yet. He's definitely improved in the ring over the past few months but his charisma is nowhere near where it needs to be for a main event spot. The whole "Chosen One" gimmick is also completely moot since Vince is hardly ever on WWE programming anymore. The team with Cody should be good for him...however it's a massive step back for Cody right now who has really come into his own immensely.

Del Rio I haven't seen much of so at this point I'm gonna reserve comment.

Highly disagreed. I don't think Miz will ever reach SCSA, HHH, Rock, HBK, Jericho, or even Edge status in WWE. He just isn't good enough
IMO and he is too much of a cocky lil' shit head. If he grows up a little and gets a decent push, I could see him becoming decent, people like Stone Cold and the Rock only come around so often though, and I don't think Miz will be one.

So you think he's a cocky little shithead? That just means he's playing his character to perfection. And wtf do you mean "gets" a decent push? The guy is in the middle of the biggest push in the company right now. And to say that you don't think someone who is currently one of the most over people in the entire company will ever reach the level of of any of those people in just sheer idiocy. No one could have pointed out any of those people as instant stars so early in their career. Miz the one of the only people in the company right now who seems to be successfully working his heel character around the PG rating system and still successfully keeping fans entertained. By measure of today's standards I'd say that's pretty damn impressive. Gimmicks like that of Rock and SCSA would fall completely flat in WWE's current landscape without certain freedoms. And another of your mentions, Edge already has.

^He's not getting pushed, he threw a match to Randy Orton a few weeks back, ever since then he's been beating mid cards and an NXT rookie and tapping out to Daniel Bryan. Sounds like a great push. I really don't think hes ever going to become as good as SSCA or Rock or HBK or any of those guys just because there is so much more talent in the WWE that it could easily be instead of him.

He's currently holding the MITB briefcase, been getting more mic time than almost anyone in the company and was FREED UP of a mid card title. Yeah, no...you're right...that's not a push.

Losing a title match is losing a title match whatever way you want to look at it. His promos have been interrupted almost every week. And no one has said that holding the MITB case automatically guarantees a World title reign, I wouldn't put it past WWE to make him the first to lose, or even do something stupid like have him get injured in the final months of his year of holding it, not be able to use it, then he wont hold the title and they wont have to say anybody has ever failed at cashing it in either.

You did in another thread.

I wouldn't put it past WWE to make him the first to lose,

...And THAT was part of MY response to you in said thread.

or even do something stupid like have him get injured in the final months of his year of holding it, not be able to use it, then he wont hold the title and they wont have to say anybody has ever failed at cashing it in either.

....Blatantly obvious that YOU came up with that part all on your own though.


Congrats.... You are now part of a very 'elite' group.... You have inspired my new sig.
