Well, the WWE doesn't want you too, apparently.
"The Colons have been told they are being kept off television for a little while because they want people to forget Los Matadores, and then they will be repackaged"
- WON
Finally.

News on that's been out for awhile now. I really don't see the point honestly. Epico still has yet to establish any individual characteristics about himself at all or a single reason why he's employed beyond, "He's a second Primo!", and Primo's never set the world on fire in any meaningful way. The Matadores gimmick sucks, but it's not like they're going to be any more over with anything else they do.
Plus if you really want to repackage them, just do it. Nobody cares enough about them to mind the change and they've been MIA from TV for most of their time under the masks anyway.

I am not trying to, at least.
I wish they would do something with Torito though.

The only way they'd ever do anything with Torito is if they either let him fight normal sized people as a full time member of the active roster, or if they instituted a serious little persons' division with equally talented midget wrestlers. His talents are wasted in WWE and he should just leave if they aren't going to do either of those things. |

Just have them show up as Primo and Epico and have the announcers act like it is a returning team.

It was a bad gimmick. They will come back with a Hardy Boyz gimmick and be Teamo Primo Epico Extremo.

I'm sure they'll be over in their next incarnation.

They are a talented team, all it requires is decent booking, giving them some kind of character and let them go all out. Hence we probably wont see any of that and they will come back repacked as dischevelled mexican food waiters or something completly stupid.

Have them do the Dustin Rhodes or Beaver Cleavage thing where they denounce the los matadors gimmick, then give them a heel run where they are total dicks with a chip on their shoulder and lots to prove. They act thuggish and bully over teams until the prime time players have had enough and save some jobbers the colons are giving shit then have them fued with the prime time players who are constantly cracking jokes and mocking them about los matadors.

Bring Carlito back to be their mouthpiece and occasional tag partner. They can work but neither have the mic skills to get themselves over.

They don't have to go that far. Just abandon the gimmick. Trust me you won't offend me one bit by pretending they never existed.

Minis don't have much career mobility and money. Either they wrestle fellow minis or the mixed tag matches consisting of a luchadora, exotico, regular luchador, and a mini. While Torito isn't being treated like a superstar; he is being seen by a lot more people and making more money than his time in lucha libre. Plus people here bitched when Mysterio wrestled someone like Big Show as not being realistic. Imagine someone half his size going against Big E. |

Should have stuck with the Los Matadores gimmick, but just update their image with better tights and masks that can be merchandised and sold.

I wonder why they never went with the original idea of heels pretending to be pandering faces...
I can only assume it's due to the Neato-ness of Torito...

We don't really need this long to forget them. Really.
They've been gone for almost three months. I imagine they were shocked Carlito actually turned them down and they had nothing else in mind.

The only highlight of the Matadores was PTP's promo along the line of "When have you ever heard of a Puerto Rican bull fighter?"
