Aberto Del Rio Not just a dream anymore!!! I'm the New World Heavyweight Champion !!!!
Alberto Del Rio I opened my eyes this morning and I saw this next to me...
Yes, WWE put it on their front page of their website again. So discuss DESTINY for Del Rio becoming World Heavyweight Champion (damn, his third WWE/World Title reign with the company). I personally think this will lead to Ziggler cashing in his MITB contract successfully.
wwe.com said:
MIAMI — With the crowning of a new World Heavyweight Champion, the Jan. 8, 2013, episode of SmackDown cemented its place in blue brand history just one week before its landmark 700th episode.
On the same night The Rock made his eagerly anticipated return to Friday night’s best show, Alberto Del Rio seized the spotlight and defeated Big Show in a Last Man Standing Match to claim the World Heavyweight Championship.
The Mexican Aristocrat heroically battled The World’s Largest Athlete in an absolutely brutal showdown, literally taking The World’s Largest Athlete to his limit en route to an historic victory.
Del Rio’s title triumph stands as his first World Heavyweight Championship and his third World Title overall. His victory also shows, once again, that anything can happen on SmackDown at any time!
See how it t went down and witness the return of The Rock to the blue brand, this Friday at 8/7 CT only on SmackDown on Syfy.
This is some wild shit, WWE spoiling the spoilers.... I wonder if it'll put butts in the seats? (Probably not, it IS ADR winning after all, and not someone actually deserving / relevant)
I've never been a big Alberto Del Rio fan but I'm actually pretty pleased about this result.
1. It got the title off The Big Show which I'm ecstatic about. The Big Show bores me to tears and him as champion had me really struggling to watch the show.
and 2. I really do see promise in a face Del Rio. Since he turned, I've been really impressed with the way he's handled his turn. I've enjoyed him more in the past three weeks than I have since he came to the WWE. Aside from the really random and pointless week where he was randomly a heel again because he nearly killed Santa (what?) I think they've done a really good job. He's actually pretty likeable.
Also, it's likely to lead to Dolph Ziggler cashing in successfully some point in the near future which is all good with me too. I see nothing bad about the situation...and the title does look good on him.
I know this is cringeworthy for some but I find him adorable as a face, sticking up for Ricardo, letting him drive one of his cars, if I am eating this shit up and am falling for the guy, I'm sure other fans are as well, so cool let him have the title, I'm down.
Well didn't people who were at the arena spoil it on wrestling blogs when Edge did it on SmackDown several years ago? They probably wanted to spoil it themselves instead of tons of wrestling blogs spoiling it, I don't really know.
+ Either way, people would've found out whether WWE did it or not.
No fuckin way Del Rio walks into WM world champ. Big Show gets his rematch at the rumble loses, Dolph cashes in on Del Rio at the rumble Dolph heads into mania champ.

If only there was a way for Dolph to cash in during the Rumble match itself, not that the World Heavyweight Champion would need to be in it. But a pin and new world champion during the rumble match would be class.
Who did this guy blow? I am serious because it is the only explanation as to how a guy who the crowd has never warmed up to gets a third World Title run. He is a good wrestler but the positives stop there. If being a good wrestler is all you need then where is Cody Rhodes's World Title? If Ziggler cashes in soon this will be better.
Well, that's an interesting choice that's for sure. My guess would be they're trying to do a couple of things. One is immediately establish Del Rio as a main event face (after he'd pretty much played jobber to the stars as a heel) and the other is to set up Ziggler for a cash in. That being said, I'm not sure that I like the move as I'm a big proponent of not hot-shoting belts around, which seems like exactly what they're doing.
They could make it non-title since Ryback needs an opponent for Wrestlemania if he doesn't win the Rumble or Elimination Chamber. Oh and I doubt Ryback could Shellshock Big Show, but would like to see it to believe it.
What the fuck just happened? What am I reading? I don't really care about Smackdown, but this is so random. I don't even want to get into why they booked a last man standing match, let alone why they gave Del Rio the belt, but I guess it's something new?? I will say that now no one can even call the WHC picture at this point. I have no clue who will be facing who, which is cool in a way, it was just so random and on Smackdown (and spoiled as well).
Yes! that fat fucker is not World Heavyweight Champion anymore. But jeez this only screams Ziggler cashing in a lot sooner than later unfortunately. I can stomach a Ziggler reign for now but atleast that fat bald boring hooligan is not champion.
