If he didn't get legit injured then that's a fucking stupid way to eliminate the best guy on the heel team from such a big match.
And as soon as I saw the match confirmed, I immediately knew Big Show and Rey would be the last men left standing. Cause Rey rarely loses, and Big Show never does. I actually fucking hoped with all my heart and soul that they'd be able to gang up on Big Show and eliminate him relatively early, cause with him in the match you just know he's going to get tagged in then swiftly eliminate about half the opposing team. And lo and behold, the result!
But going back to Del Rio, when McIntyre got eliminated I hoped the bell wasn't going to ring and Del Rio was going to come legging it back to the ring and hopefully eliminate AT LEAST one of the remaining 2 with his armbar submission, then have a nice exchange with the remaining one, regardless of whether he won it or not.
But no, they have Show slug him one in the early-going and so ends the 2nd ever PPV of one of the most promising newcomers to the WWE. Creative dropped the ball here by not even having Del Rio fighting Mysterio (I think he didn't. if he did it must have only been briefly).
