Unwarranted Hate? of Albert Del Rio

[Chris]

I don't mind Del Rio at all, I generally like him, but I'm not just a huge fan. His mic work is fine outside of his title runs last year which was horribly booked and at the complete wrong time with Punk being so hot. I love watching him work in the ring, think he's one of the best WWE has to offer. I can easily see why some people dislike him though, and there's no real way to explain how someone bores you if that's the case for Del Rio with you, they just do.

Del Rio's ring work is usually top notch, but overall I find him to be generic. I never find myself looking forward to anything he does and his promos feel recycled.

However, he draws heat fairly well. He and Ricardo also compliment each other quite well I think.

I am one that really didn't give a crap for ADR until recently. I don't think he was pushed down our throats, but the thing that got to me was his gimmick. I hate to sound like a broken record but he is a rip off of JBL, but as time went by I started liking him more and more and his in ring talent is great. I also like Ricardo as his personal announcer, it just adds the extra flavor to his character. I used to hate it, but now I like it. I personally think the reason why people hate him now that used to like him is because of the fact that their is a small roster and why not give Cody Rhodes or Dolph Ziggler a chance before him.

I find him boring even in the ring he is just boring.

I like him. Was pleased when he won the Rumble match last year and still enjoy watching him.

I think Del Rio needs some help from creative if he's going to get over. Attack the right people, hold the title for a while and rub it in everyone's face, that kind of deal. After that, I think people will take him more seriously. Because right now, he's booked as a headline star for Smackdown without any real title pedigree. Some will obviously disagree with that, but I think in order for ADR to progress, that needs to happen.

no but decent isn't good and apparently his reaction isn't as bad as people think? Then why would people think that. His ring work has also gotten worse as of late he's doing less moves.Your assesment of him is meh at best and your a fan of his, so why would non fans of him be inclined to start taking notice?

Off topic a minute but since when does the amount of moves you do make you a good or bad wrestler? Bret Hart and Ric Flair had limited move sets and yet they two of greatest wrestlers in history.

I agree with mostly what TKK had to say, he was pushed too soon and too much. The guy so far has not devolped into the great main event talent people were hopeing, but he is still solid and with time and better booking it could still happen.
