Alberto Del Rio: Triple Crown Champ- Good or bad?

Rulk25

Getting Noticed By Management
Okay we already know that ABR is going to face the Champ at Wrestlemania
Now he is also facing Kofi in a singles match that rumor state may be changed to a title match to set up a champion vs champion scenario. Plus his rookie Brodus Clay is pretty much a 50-50 shot at winning the tag title shot in NXT (as lets face it the fact that Johnny Curtis made it this far is more a testament to how bad this season's crop is)

So the obvious questions begs
A) Should they put all the belts on ABR
and B) What is your reaction of they do

For me it obviously builds the guy up and lets face outside of his finisher he seems the most main event ready guy in years more than Wade, or Sheamus or even as much as it pains me MIZ. I magine the play he coudl get out of holding all the belts and winning RR in his rookie year.

Obviously the drawbacks are high.
One you have the sophomore slump...after doing all that where do you go from there
Two the potential devaluation of the titles. Here I am not sure I see it. I mean can you devaule it anymore...especially as the current champ is Santino and Koslov. As to the IC title was it devalued when Warrior beat Hogan no not really (and yes I am aware much bigger stars) but after Mania he can easily forfeit it and have a genuine tournament
With guys like Zeke, Clay, Cody, Gabriel and Drew after it
 
Doing title for title at Mania wouldn't be so bad. Del Rio's IC vs. Edge's WHC. I'd like it and plus you're guaranteed a really good match. Who cares if it won't even sniff the hype of the Ultimate Challenge? Why not have a midcard champ go after the World Title? I kinda wish Miz successfully cashed in as U.S. Champ so he can say he has held both simultaneously.

If they vacate the IC title after Del Rio wins the WHC, I just hope that the one who wins the vacated belt is a terrific midcarder like Rhodes and then does a hell of a job bringing credibility back to it.

I wouldn't mind seeing Del Rio as IC or tag team champ; but it's the WHC I wanna see him with.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing DelRio as an IC or US Champ. He really has grown on me. He really has the charisma and potential to go quite far. I've seen in interviews that were printed where other stars like Jericho have spoken quite highly of him. This man really does deliver with the same cockiness and brash arrogance that only a true 'STAR' can get the fans to respond to whether they like him or not. I just happen to be a fan. Then again, I just tend to like the bad boys myself. I think he has all the makings of something huge and there's quite a bit I'd like to see from him. So, I think this is something that's not impossible to see happening sometime.
 
I really like del rio so i would say yeah. LET him join the club him got the mouthpiece the skills the totalpackage, but let me tell u with zigzag fired he gone hook up with vicki and go 2 a whole new level by mania watch. SO he gets the title and she get even with me dog edge. He at some point will hold all the titles cause everybody cant be in the main event at the same time
 
Should they put all the belts on Del Rio at once? Absolutely not. To give him all the belts at once would put him on a level that no other wrestler (in my knowledge at least) has ever reached. Do you really want Alberto Del Rio to have an accomplishment that nobody has ever had before? Not Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, The Rock, or even Hulk Hogan has accomplished this, why should Alberto Del Rio?

Furthermore, this hogs up much of the card. If he's a main eventer why would the WWE leave the midcarders out in the cold by sticking their belt on Del Rio? How would they approach PPVs? Would he defend both titles? Do something like they did with Angle, Benoit, and Jericho at Mania 2000? There are options available, but few of them are good for anyone but Del Rio, and Del Rio is not so good that the WWE can disregard the rest of the card for him.
