He didn't love Alberto as much as he hated Rey and was desperate to get any Mexican to be more popular.

Not sure but he's got to be one of the most boring main eventers in WWE history. I could not give a single fuck about him, ever.

But why?

Vince saved Rey's career in America after WCW, and head booker Kevin Nash, unmasked him and ruined his gimmick. Rey was heavily pushed in WWE, far more than he ever got in WCW.

Vince is obsessed with finding another Mexican talent he can market to the Hispanic fans, because he doesn't like having just one guy in that role as it makes him too valuable and gives too much leverage.

But Vince LOVES Rey. Look at how he has been used in WWE, even now, and that's clear.

Vince had this theory that simply pushing a Latino star would bring in tons of money from Mexico and that Mysterio and Eddie weren't special

Reminder that Cena's great US title run and literally last run with any belt was ended by Alberto pinning him clean in like 7 minutes.

LMFAO. OP thinks Vince gives a shit about the fans. If Vince listened to the audience, Cesaro and Damian Sandow would've been world champs, while Cena and Roman would be at the bottom of the card. He knows better than the smarks.

While this guy was big in WWE, TNA's resident Mexicans were riding lawmower limos to the ring and rapping.

He was over for about three weeks when he turned face and beat Big Show for the WHC but that was it. Maybe when he first debuted but I wasn't watching in 2010. For me though it was his neverending feud with Sheamus where he got booked like a total geek every PPV but kept getting rematches.

He needed a Mexican who could main event without relying on flippy lucha shit to get over, by the time Del Rio got his push the flippy shit was already stagnating, so he stood out abit and he had the appearance of a traditional chad wrestler.

I liked him in 2010 and 11. His debut and Royal Rumble win were kino. If he won the WHC at WM27 he would've been more over, but losing killed him permanently. When he cashed in and won the WWE title it was already too late because Phil got over.

Vince wanted a good looking spic to recapture the latino market they had in the mid-2000s. That was always the plan even before he debuted and that's literally it, that he sucked and never got a pop in his life didn't matter. They tried everything to make this shitter work.

Vince's 'theories' often worked like that - just push Luger in Hogan's place, just push Roman in Cena's place, he never lets himself believe anyone's 'special', it's all him.

He was reluctant to give up on him because he's the total package on paper. Competent wrestler, varied style, decent promos, decent physique, tall, MMA experience, legit pedigree from a lucha family. But somehow he just never clicked. Some people have all the attributes but just can't get themselves over. Jack Swagger is another one who comes to mind.

Jack did not have all the attributes kek. He had the build and was a decent enough/underrated wrestler, but that's where it ends.

Rightwingers can sense each other and cover for each other so they can get away with their predatory shit. This is what vampires was based on.

Arn Anderson talks about this on his podcast - Vince wanted a star for the latino and Mexican markets. Alberto was over 6 ft and good looking so Vince wanted him to be that star.

No it's based on landed gentry. The landed gentry eventually morphed into rightwingers. Communism would fix this by killing all of them.
