http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tToTvvC7Cew Number one on the list is a surprise to all, but a few. Ricardo Rodrguez is best known, as personal ring announcer, for human vacuum of charisma Alberto Del Rio. However, what most do not realize is that Rodriguez is a respected wrestler and the best seller in the company. His unimposing figure certainly helps when it comes to selling but Rodriguez has the unique ability to make you question rather or not what you just saw was real or not. Look at the TLC match from 2011 for one of the best examples of blurred lines. Rodriguez was pushed off the ladder and through a table. He almost missed the second table and any fan watching would have thought he ended up in the front row. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tneY1vElpxg Afterward he lay motionless as if he died until after the match. I was legitimately concerned for his safety after that spot and was reminded why bringing back Attitude era is not a good thing. Another great example of Rodriguez's ability to sell was in the build to Del Rio's match with Jack Swagger for the world title. Ricardo was attacked by Swagger on the 3/18 edition of Raw. He was put in the ankle lock by Swagger and you honestly thought he may have injured his ankle based on his cries for help. Also look at his beating at the hands of Del Rio during the 8/5 edition of Raw. It was a thing a beauty that made Del Rio look like malicious grappler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVO1B14HNQ0 It's a shame that Rodriguez is only a commentator for the Spanish announce team now because he is by far the best seller on the roster and can make you question what you just saw.
