Enough with Del Rio already. WWE is keep pushing him without realizing they're pushing the wrong guy. Del Rio is plain as shit.

That was incredibly underwhelming. Could’ve at least made the match a triple threat with Jericho…

Paul

That’s no fun

Well its safe to say this will be one of Boeing matches on the bill, if not the most boring. I can’t stand del rio he’s to bland and boring.
- Ace Vivid
  
  Del rio is not as bad as people make him. I mean his character may be a little bland, but his in-ring skills are way above average.
  
  It’s amazing that people still support super Sheamus as much as they do. I mean, I hate watching him. 5 guys are wailing on him but he no sells everything and destroys everyone. People hate cena, but Sheamus is worse than him. I cannot wait for Sheamus to lose the title, his reign has been boring. And it’s not because he’s feuding with del rio, it’s because Sheamus character is uninteresting.

    Bud, let’s be honest here. They both are bland and boring. They both need some more work.

WWE doesn’t seem to know what to with top card faces. they all seem to achieve super powers. they book sheamus like they book Orton and cena and adult fans don’t like the characters. Seamus is dull like this. To be fair though the fault we have super cena,super Orton or super sheamus is because of fans my age that cheered super Hogan back in the day. we should all jump in a dallorian, travel back, rip up all our 10 year old selfs hulkamaniac stuff and make em cheer on macho man.
KVB

They need to return the attitude era. This is getting boring and way to predictable. I kind of wonder if it’s just to predictable or just getting older you learn to figure things out.
Jamie

I can’t imagine del rio with a title ..
Kevin

Probably overturned by the Board of Directors. They seem to be getting involved a lot these days. I wondered if this would happen; after all, Del Rio is an upper-card talent who has held the title before. Unless he was physically unable to perform, I didn't see the point in having Booker strip him of his shot at the belt.
