SD的首演,逼得Rey Mysterio拍地求饶,这周第二次出场,首先就“狠狠地”袭击了刚被Kane揍得半死的619大师,而且还念念不忘地光袭击他貌似最受伤的左臂。从一开始,Rey一出场就表现出他的左臂有问题,在与Kane的Non Title No Disqualification Match中伤势加重,而这个莫名其妙的“上等人”的袭击无遗让所有人英雄的619大师陷入更深的黑暗。
对上一段的主语是Alberto Del Rio(简称ADR),也是这篇的主角啦。
SD的第二场比赛,跟第一场很不一样,赛会安排了一个叫做“Carlos Sanchez”的不知名选手和他较量,一路占绝对上风的他不费吹灰之力就把对方打倒。上一场他以一技cross armbreaker惊艳地让619在5秒之内拍地求饶,而这周,他最终也让Carlos Sanchez tap out在同一招式之下。值得一说的是,这周他又展示了一个很经典,但不是人人都能做到/会做的招式——German suplex,用非专业的话形容就是一个挺华丽的拱桥背摔,摔完以后还不急着压制,而是蹲在一旁奸笑看对手痛苦。
但为什么他能轻易地做出这些动作呢?首先,他得有这么些功底,他能做,而且做得漂亮,其次,对手要适合,试问如果那个不是197磅的Carlos Sanchez,而是像Big Show,Kane,UT那样的高大型,还能完美背摔?可能结果是被压扁了。说回他的对手,我其实是不明白为什么弄个被摔角在线叫做“???”,被WWE官网称为“local competitor”,在视频中以“Carlos Sanchez”名字出现,实际上却是Alex Koslo化名的AAA选手。WWE的选手何其多,为什么居然弄个个大家都不熟悉的路人甲生面口呢?看视频的时候我百思不得其解,唯一的感觉就是为了垫脚石而垫脚石。这般就能把“上等人”继续猛力地推向“圣人”的境界。
很多人都说,ADR是JBL的墨西哥翻版,从出场到招式,无不相似雷同。不知道JBL是谁,因为我沉迷摔的时间太晚了,JBL已经离开了WWE。不过,在看到某处ADR的profile后,我脑子里闪过了一丝灵光,知道一些事实后,我豁然开朗了。
很多人都说,WWE签下ADR一年后,他才慢慢悠悠,搞N多前奏再出场。合同只有3年,就这么没了1年,这个鸟人就有这般能耐?!不然,看看下面的引用就知道了:

首先,不厌其烦地解释一下两个概念:
1、Dos Caras Jr.也就是Alberto Del Rio,也是他最有名的艺名,以这个名字“横行”的时候这个墨西哥luchador基本上都是带面具的。同时Alberto Banderas,Dos Caras是他签入WWE以后的艺名。
2、dark match——就是在摔角电视节目或者PPV前举行的比赛。这些比赛的作用是:让观众进入状态、让一些新摔角手在众多观众前试打比赛、而且还可以测试摄影和广播器材。这些比赛一般不被播出。很多摔角手在正式进入RAW和SmackDown之前都要打Dark Match。(选自http://www.chinawwe.net/baike/310.html)
从签入WWE以后,ADR其实就没闲过,在过去的一年里,他一直都被WWE“培训着”,看看密集的dark match就知道了。我们一开始理所当然想到的相反,可能不是选手自抬身价不参加正式比赛,而是WWE觉得他火候没够,要先炖慢熬再狠推出去。远在太平洋彼岸的我们没机会看到只有现场能看到,转播上是“不出街”的dark match,所以,对我们来说他完全是个新人,但对米国本土现场观众而言,可能未必。
Florida Championship Wrestling – Dos Caras Jr.:
# June 17, 2009: Dos Caras Jr. signed a three year contract with World Wrestling Entertainment..
# July 9, 2009–Florida Championship Wrestling: Kris Logan defeated Dos Caras Jr…
# July 15, 2009–Florida Championship Wrestling: Dos Caras Jr. & Sicodelico Jr. beat Vance Archer & Kristof Hertzog
# July 16, 2009–Florida Championship Wrestling: Trent Beretta & Caylen Croft defeated Dos Caras Jr. & Sicodelico Jr.
刚签入WWE,ADR以Dos Caras Jr.名字出场的战绩是1胜2败,而且唯一赢的那场还只是双打赛。虽然WWE探了很久,费下不少口水和钱财才签下这般人物,但显然,刚开始的试赛证明他的打法在美国不怎么吃香。

FCW和WWE的竞争是无法相比的,即便对手只是WWE里的次级大明星。在WWE的前期试斗中ADR用回了他Dos Caras的名字,但却仿佛回到刚签入WWE到FCW试赛的困境,5胜6负。开始是交替胜败,接着是连败,曾击倒他的包括William Regal,Evan Bourne,Primo Colon,Kane,Goldust,Chris Masters。2010年5月劲密集的比赛,基本上3-4天就一场,RAW和SD来回跑,各种类型(身高体重、打法)的选手兼有。大概WWE就是经过这些后才确定要如何捧他,应该拿什么类型的选手和他较量。显然,上面大部分我们不太熟悉的选手只是WWE的次星,其身高和ADR相仿,但体重往往比ADR重约20公斤。
不是说他不能打败比他重的选手,但处于保险起见,他的debuts和前几轮比赛最好放些矮一点、比他轻一点的选手给他磨刀比较好,因为那些比赛他都应该斩瓜切菜般轻易拿下的。你该明白为什么要选Rey Mysterio和Alex Koslo了吧。

终于,在1个多月的强大广告攻势后(其中包括6段广告,从2010-06-25开始每周SD放出一段,至他debuts前的一周,主题分别是LIARS within the WWE,HONESTY and INSPIRATION,his INTELLIGENCE,his INTELLIGENCE and his BRAVERY,being a role model and said he was the bravest of the brave,his EXCELLENCE),WWE把Alberto Del Rio以ADR的名字推出市场了。就一个拽样,从一开始就大大地定义为huge heel。2010年6月开始,在首演前的6场比赛,他没有再输过,至今(2010-08-28),正式登台后的2场,也未尝败绩。谁说这不是WWE特意安排的“强弱不等赛”呢?为什么要在SD?因为RAW的次星也很强大!
到此为止,大家都应该和我一样恍然大悟了。撇除ADR在签入WWE前他在他的世界何等风光,但在签入之后,掰指算算他从2010年4月到8月在RAW/SD打过的17场dark match,再算一下结果(11胜6负),你会明白,他不过是个被WWE放进特殊监护室的凡人!
事实总是残酷的,无论你多么会吹,在事实面前,所有泡沫都将被一一戳破,圣人光环中将被拿掉,凡人,始终是凡人。但同时,既然是凡人的话我们就不得不对其有宽容的心,允许其犯错。
只能说一句,时间会证明一切,实战方显真英雄。
