I fear for Ted's future really, perhaps his surname might keep him in the company though.

I really can't see them firing Ted due as you say his last name. I wouldn't be surprised if he left to work Japan again at some point though.

Well one thing is for sure, he has to stop this whole storyline with Jinder Mahal and go for Rhodes Intercontinental Title. Than Rhodes can upgrade to World Heavyweight Champion Caliber.

To be honest, no offense to Ted, but the IC title has just become interesting again. Cody needs to stay there for a bit before moving on. When he does move on, give it to someone more entertaining than Ted :S.

Dunno, he's a movie star isn't he? Well, he's involved in movies. Going to Japan isn't going to help him.

He's only been in the sequel to the Marine I think. Plus he worked there before the WWE and I think turned down an initial development deal to do a tour with Noah in 2007. So I think he has some passion for the Puro scene probably from SR who was a pretty well known performer in the mid 80's particularity in the tag team division. So I can see him going back eventually similar deal to MVP.

But really who is their? Sin Cara maybe if he returns on time. I don't want no Big Zeke in the Championship picture again. He's like another Scott Steiner but worse.

You said it, Sin Cara. Or perhaps drop Alberto Del Rio to the mid card to get it. Sin Cara was SO over before there incredibly fail Sin Cara vs Sin cara feud.

SPOILER ALERT!

Del Rio is set for another championship run in 2012.

So that would not be possible.

Probably this Vince seems adamant to put as many world titles on him as possible to get him over. It's a shame if they let him perform he would be a really over babyface now imo.

Yeah, he told him to become more aggressive so he can look like a threat in the WWE Championship picture.

But they keep his horrible gimmick. He's so good in the ring, he's great on the mic, he has the presence but they're keeping his gimmick which isn't over...

I don't think putting gold on someone gets them over at all. Miz wasn't over when he won the championship off Orton, his exceptional Mic work got him over.

The reason they brought in Del Rio is because WWE knows that Rey Mysterio won't be in WWE for that much longer. So they are building him up as a main event draw so he can be the Next Big (Mexican) Babyface.

“I already decided. I want to retire in five years and will make a farewell tour but not as many who do 250 fights. Seek a dignified farewell to a fight in San Luis Potosi, my native land and in the Arena Mexico, my home.”

This doesn't seem very keyfabe to me. I can't see why they'd build someone that much to have retire a few years after though. The mexican draw wasn't that the purpose of Sin Cara signing? He was after all one of the biggest Draws in Mexico, out drawing Cena twice I believe under his Mistico persona.

Yeah I read that before. I really doubt he is going to retire in 5 years. Maybe when he is 40-45 and if Sin Cara doesn't look like as of now a Main Eventer.
