For a guy who worked under a mask for the last 10 years it's amazing he's got good facial expressions.
Kind of average in the ring but hopefully he will get better. Sometimes wrestlers who are good at Lucha suck at the American style and vice versa.
I think it's funny how they originally signed the guy so he can be the next huge masked babyface and the draw for the latin-demo when Rey Mysterio finally leaves, but then they took the mask off of him and changed his entire gimmick.
Nope, I think it's logical they did that. They got lucky with Alberto - he looks like your typical Mexican handsome guy, unlike most Mexicans they featured on the show like the Mexicools and Eric Escobar, so it's a good thing to exploit that advantage and let him be that handsome heel.
And then if they want to, make him work as a face with the mask on once Rey goes out of the WWE.
It's like signing two characters with one person. And they decided to try out the unmasked one first.
I assume they'd want to make Alberto don the mask once Rey retires. Rey is a lifetime good guy in WWE, and see how the merchandise goes - arena viewers and kids love to wear Rey's mask. Can you imagine people wearing Dos Caras' mask if he's a heel - nope.
