WWE finally cutting their car rental losses

Noticed this myself on SD!

Glad for him. He's one of the better workers in the company right now, baffles me as to why he didn't get much of a response before (even during his main event runs of late '11). Miz on the other hand, totally different story. He's made me want to get his face kicked in more as a face than his whole heel run.

The face turn is definitely good for his reactions now, he still SCREAMS heel, but the face turn is definitely working for him atm.

Rio is probably the ONLY face turn that should rightfully turn back to heel and call everybody in the crowd a sucker, but I don't think he has the mic/promo skills to pull that off very convincingly.

Del Rio's character now is a lot better than it was (probably because his heel run was growing very stale), but he still bores me to death. Great athlete, decent on the mic, but just too boring and uninteresting for me. And trust me, you guys will probably end up turning your backs on him too just as you did with Sheamus in a couple months. Barrett should be the one holding the WHC and Del Rio should be in the midcard. Not the other way around, WWE -__-

Oh boy Barret fans are so jealous, ADR is a babyface! at least direct your hate in the correct place Barret should of had Big Show spot as main event heel, defeat Sheamus and have this feud with ADR.

lol first time I have seen a face praised on these boards... but I agree the guy is more over as a face than a heel just really silly it took them this long to realize, the guy a great worker in the ring and that was the only thing going for him as a heel but didn't get him over at all.. The guy has so much potential as a face and everyone loves Ricardo Rodriguez which also helps the man

Its the only face turn they have did right this year too, Miz and Shemaus have been awful faces but really wanted by the IWC. At least its nice to see Del Rio keeping his heel character as a face and still making it work. Lets hope he doesn't cut cheesy promos and smile alot... oh wait he did that as a heel. In that case its going to work anyway :O

He has a better moveset as a babyface (moonsault, suicide dive etc.)

This guy is a beast in the ring. And i'm really excited to see how his heel gimmick is going to be slowly transformed as a face one.

I'm loving the face turn, couldn't have cared less about him when he was heel. Good move WWE.

Indeed, and he's much more enjoyable to watch for performing those moves.

I always knew Alberto could get over! I've always liked him and his WHC win on SmackDown took my be pleasant surprise! I'm more intrigued about the WHC title picture going into WrestleMania 29 now, i'm hoping Alberto holds it for a good 4 months or so tho.
