OFC he is getting rewarded, Vince likes ppl who aren't pussies. I don't blame ADR for knowing how to play the game. Guys like Kofi Kingston and Morrison should pay attention.

Big Show lost his title, at Smackdown of all shows, feel bad for the guy, probably his last title run as well. Oh well, let's hope Del Rio keeps his title until WM and Ziggler cashes in his MITB contract at WM, imagine the pops.

I am so confused that this is true. If you told me that this man with this gimmick would make a very likeable, very over babyface in 2013, I'd have laughed at you. But he ends up being exactly that, and winning the title in a MOTYC against Big Show?...

I'm so confused...

I just dont get it... I get that they want a latino guy in the top for the fans from mexico etc. But I dont get why ADR... What the hell have he done? raped Vince?
But, this could be a way to get Ziggler cashing it in.

If you want to get the people who watch wrestling once a year - you want the best possible matches at wrestlemania. ADR vs Ziggler will be a great match (not as good as Bryan vs Ziggler) because they are talented in ring workers, which Vince hopes as younger guys, will bring more people back to wrestling.

Coming from a guy that hated Del RIo as a heel, I've found his face turn so refreshing. His friendship with Ricardo is a huge part of it, imo. But he also works a damn good match as a face and he can sell it very well.

Latino crowd? Miami isn't just a Latino crowd, they're a Cuban crowd, Del Rio is Mexican, and Cubans don't give two shits about Mexicans. Del Rio didn't even get a pop in Mexico, so now that he gets one in Miami, it's because he's Latino? You're reaching here. Sticking Del Rio in a face role isn't just a random change, seeing as how he's spent most of his career as a successful face.

Yeah this is true. All the 'latino hero' comments helped a little maybe, but they were probably because next week's shows are in Texas. That's where he can get a big pop from Mexican fans. Besides, there's such a thing as being awesome w/o being as good as Punk or Cena (and I personally think he's better than Cena).
