Alberto Del Rio gets a lot of hate around here. Good for him. He is a heel and his job is to be hated. Hes such a good heel that hes even hated in a place where its cool to like a guy that is supposed to be hated. Sorry ADR but I love you. Del Rio has the qualities that everyone here looks for in a heel and people dont even realize it because hes so good.
Del Rio looks like a star. He acts like a star. He has the natural confidence of a star. Everything about him fits his character perfectly. His expensive cars, his music, his personal ring announcer, his scarf, his wink, everything. Ricardo Rodriguez is a great lackey. He is not a manager or a business associate. He is a lackey. He is always willing to sacrifice himself in any way for Del Rio. ADR is Rodriguezs top priority and that makes ADR seem even more important.
Im convinced the only reason people hate Del Rio is because CM Punk buried him on the mic last year. Theres that evil word again. Buried. Its overused but accusing one wrestler of burying another is seemingly the worst thing you can say about someone around here. Unless of course youre IWC poster boy CM Punk. Then burying someone is cool. Punk told everyone that Del Rio is boring and just like that the majority of the IWC decided to believe it. Punk accused Del Rio of just repeating the same thing over and over. This led to countless posts of people regurgitating Punks words as their own causing them to become boring by repeating the same thing over and over. Had Punk made that comment about anyone else the IWC would have simply agreed with that and they would not be so hard on Del Rio. I didnt realize being repetitive was such a terrible thing in wrestling. Maybe Im wrong. If you think repeating the same thing every week makes a character boring give me a hell yeah. What?
Whats most interesting to me is the same people who call Del Rio stale and boring are the same people that sing the praises of people like Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes. I dont have any hate for those two but I dont see how anyone can call them so great while calling Del Rio boring. Ziggler does nothing to stand out from the pack. His generic music can be given to pretty much any other heel. He was paired up with Vickie not because they fit naturally together but in a desperate attempt to get him some heat. Rhodes is ok but is he any better on the mic than Del Rio? Hes well spoken but whats with the monotone gimmick? Monotone is pretty much a definition of boring and Cody has been doing this monotone thing for over a year. I dont see how either of these guys are any better than ADR.
If anyone else recognizes Alberto Del Rio for the great character he is please share your thoughts here. If you want to insist on still hating the man, thats fine too. After all, he wants you to hate him. But you already knew that.
