It seems bizarre that Del Rio's presence from the company would be sorely missed a few months after his unfortunate, political firing. Pushed strongly from the very beginning, WWE's attempts to appeal to the Hispanic market led to Del Rio receiving opportunities that his lack of charisma and notable mic skills perhaps should have denied him. Particularly since his failed babyface turn of 2013, Del Rio was a guy who struggled for relevance in WWE's midriff. In scores of PPV World Title matches, Del Rio would go out and have good-to-great matches that people consistently cared little about. In 2014, it got to a point where Del Rio became an extremely missable aspect of WWE TV. Not too many people kicked up a fuss when he was forced out of the company in August. Nobody really thought he would be missed. The truth is, as much as Del Rio lacked in personality, he made up for it with his in-ring performances. His workload has been missed from Monday Night Raw since the Autumn, leading to his firing becoming a truly unfortunate moment of WWE's year.
Betting on being a brilliant brother to Bodhi since 2008 (-1 Asian Handicap). Find me @LiamJJohnson on Twitter where you might find some wonderful pearls of wisdom in a stout cocktail of profanity, football discussion and general musings. Or you might not. Depends how red my eyes are.
