How are people feeling about ADR?

I've always disliked him being a top contender/champ - hes pretty solid in the ring, but his gimic/character is pretty weak (in my eyes, I think it is gamed more for the Americans than world audience, I am from the uk so we generally don't care about people being a different race for some sort of heat).

Without his side kick he's looked even worse than usual, he could almost be considered a perennial transitional champ, but I am starting to sense, given how little impact he seems to be giving now, that he could be on his way down (probably more wishful thinking than anything else)

imo he needs to lead a stable than work solo. I was hoping he would lead a stable of Hunico, Camacho, Primo, and Epico.

I like Del Rio, but it is mostly based off of his wrestling ability. When he was first pushed into the main event scene with it 'being his destiny' I was not impressed, he seemed so green whenever he would speak. Over the last year or so though I think he's improved a lot with showing emotion and just looks and acts the part much more than back then, and has done a fine job as a heel and face, but I think now would be as good a time as any to move him out of the title picture for a while. We've seen him wrestle all the top faces and heels numerous times and I don't really know where you would go from here, and he is worse without Ricardo. As safi has been saying I'd like it if Sandow cashed in sooner rather than later to get some fresh faces in the title picture.

ADR doesn't have heel heat because he's of a different race, its because his character is a pompous prick. Rey Mysterio is the same race and is a top babyface.

As for ADR, the face turn flopped in a big way for many reasons and now he's a heel again. And as Jr Lucosa said, with the exception of Bryan and RVD he's had extended feuds with all of the other top faces. And WWE really has no midcard babyfaces as Cody Rhodes might be the only guy who fits that description. I'm guessing he'll resume the feud with Ziggler after Summerslam and he'll feud with Rey whenever he comes back.

I'm curious to see who, if anyone, will watch this Total Divas show that's premiering tonight. I think I'll probably end up watching it out of just sheer curiousity. Definitely won't watch it live but I think I'll probably end up watching it off some bootleg streaming site on like Tuesday.

I don't mean to be negative Nancy, but yeah, I hate having wrestlers that have a certain gimmick tweet. I thought the Wyatts were supposed to be living in some sort of remote location, certainly not one that would have some sort of internet access.

It's kinda funny imagining the Wyatts in an apple store.

I get what you're saying and tweeting is an easy thing to stop doing. But my question is where do we draw the line because there are a lot of things that seem outside the parameters of the characters that they have to do just to get to the arenas. If I saw him standing in line quietly at the airport, that seems like something his character wouldn't do. If I saw him at the gas station paying for gas and some snacks and paying and thanking the clerk afterwards that seems like something his character wouldn't do. But these are all things that he has to do.

That's definitely fair. Maybe something that wouldn't hinder anything about their normal, everyday life? Although again, there is some gray area. Since "not hindering" is subjective to one's own. I'd assume that tweeting would fall into this.

I think we draw the line at stuff that they feature on the television show. Not only is he tweeting, as Bray Wyatt, but they're talking about it on the show. If they showed Windham Rotunda buying gum at a gas station on TV, yeah, I think we can draw the line there. Otherwise, I don't think it's the same thing.

Anyways, I have a strange feeling that this Divas reality show is going to be a hit.

And a feud with an all time heel Mr. McMahon? Bryan could be the top face soon enough.

Come on! After a segment like that, Daniel Bryan HAS to win, right?

WWE is anti bullying. Ryback is not bullying that man, kids, honest.
