7. Del Rio Goes Broke
Unlike other ideas on this list, this one would likely turn Alberto Del Rio face. Alberto Del Rio is terrible face. However, this would certainly reignite his career...at least temporarily. When Del Rio first turned face and started feuding with Zeb Coulter and Jack Swagger, I thought for sure they were going to have him somehow lose his riches. A bunch of wrestlers with a Tea Party gimmick hating on an employed rich guy, regardless of his race, didn't really make much sense. However, a bunch of Tea Party loons hating on a poor immigrant? That would have given the feud the fire it needed. I'm not sure if WWE is aware of their customers' demographics, but wrestling fans will never really connect with a rich good guy. That's a major reason why Del Rio's face turn failed. The one problem with this idea is after the initial 180 where Alberto Del Rio is no longer rich, Alberto Del Rio becomes just a guy. The one dimensional nature of Alberto Del Rio's gimmick leaves him with nothing but his riches. Without the money, there is no Alberto Del Rio - but for the first few months he would certainly have one hell of a face run. That or a comedy heel who fans scoff at. Maybe the latter wouldn't be so bad?
