Has there EVER been a 4 time world champion where the crowd does not give the slightest crap about? I'm talking about Alberto Del Rio, and he isn't even to blame, to an extent. It's the writing team, give us a reason to care other than telling us that Del Rio is "Mexico's greatest export", he is great in the ring and can have a great match with about anyone, but lack of character is what has hurt him. Give us a reason to care, if he is so rich, let him have a stable where he has his own henchmen, was perfect when he could've had an all Latin stable with Primo & Epico aiding him. All three coming out in 80's Miami style suits and beating down anyone that looked at the champ wrong "because I can". I mean this guy was in the main event of a PPV on Sunday and the next night's taping of Superstars he is the main event of the forgotten show against R-Truth. He was pretty good as a babyface until he said that the Big Show smells like kaka.
Every multiple time world champion has had memorable moments, I can't really think of any for Del Rio, only time that was memorable that involved Del Rio was MITB 2011 where he tried to cash in on Punk, but that could've been anyone. I'm sur that this is his last year in the company with his contract rumoured to be expiring some time this year.

He was pretty damn over as a face. They should have kept that going. Del Rio was at his best during that time.

I'll admit though, I was at Mania last year and throughout all of Swagger/Del Rio the only thing you heard was "we want Ziggler". I wouldn't doubt if that had a lot to do with him going heel so quickly.

I used to like him, but now, wow I have never been so bored by a wrestler. He's a decent wrestler, but he's way too bland. It's either creative's fault, or he can't get people to care about him. Either way, I literally have no reaction every time I see him. I feel that people hate him, not cause he's a heel, but because he's so boring!

I think Del Rio is good in the ring, can cut a decent promo. But there is something he is lacking. Comes across as boring.
I also wish they never split Ricardo away from him.

That was the best point in his career when he was a face.

Del Rio is an excellent wrestler but I think the only thing that has held him back is his accent. He has trouble connecting with the audience because of it.

If he's not the champion or main event then he doesn't care and it shows in his matches and promos.

They took away everything that made him HIM. No fancy cars, no Ricardo and they changed his music.

Not only is he a 4 time champion but he won money in the bank and the only 40 man royal rumble. He's probably going into the HOF and no one cares

He's a lot like Randy Orton for me. Really good in a lot of ways, but just bores me so much. And there are lots of guys in the midcard who are boring because all they do is have repetitive matches, but Del Rio had a ton of mic time 2010-2013 and he was still really dull.

He doesn't have any passion in the business it seems, he doesn't put on matches like he used to since he won his first champ and expects things to be handed to him, to give him credit WWE have given have way more chances than other people i.e RR and MITB in the same year
