Before his debut a few weeks ago, many people inside the business didn't think the man formally known as Dos Caras Jr. had a chance. He had a poor reputation backstage (he believed he was better than most performers in the back and let other workers know this). He had his trademark mask took away because the company only wanted one masked wrestler and the vignettes that aired prior to his debut were received poorly by the fans. How people can be wrong. In just a little over a month, he is the hottest new talent in the WWE. He destroyed Rey Mysterio, whooped Matt Hardy and beat the hell out of Christian. His promos and facial mannerisms are brilliant. His entrance, which includes a Rolls Royce, Randy Orton style fireworks and his own announcer, is one of the most 'full on' I have ever seen. Del Rio will not be champion at WrestleMania or win the title at the event, but could have a short reign in November to February or take the belt just after 'Mania, just like Swagger did this year, and unlike Swagger, I can see Alberto staying as a main eventer even after he loses the belt, which is the sign of not only great talent, but a true champion.
