So, are the Shining Stars ever going to wrestle again?

[Deleted]

For starters; I certainly hope not. They don't even get the Conway Pop.

Secondly, it's amazing how they have a match on TV after 2 months of endless "We love Puerto Rico" promos, and then immediately go back to "We love Puerto Rico" promos, minus the big budget.

It's almost as if they not only failed miserably on character design, but decided that the only solution is to have them go back to the promos that helped kill any interest.

To kill interest implies that there was any interest to begin with.

Nah, seriously them dudes is done. 2 months of promos to get one match and now their asses is back on the pine. Bringing in Carlito is only way to salvage this shit.

If we're lucky, no.

Get rid of Los Matadors, they said. Let them be the Colons, they said.

Stupid mask for two years. Gone for seven months. Then back for 30 seconds a week.

It's not very rewarding to be a Primo fan.

I don't think that is fair. I am far more interested in vacationing in Puerto Rico than I was before their tourism commercials started.

I'm all for promoting tourism, but not for building up heel wrestlers.

It makes no sense.

Tourism in Puerto Rico is up 500℅

We were too busy trying to call how The Vaudevillains were gonna become the new Ascension, that we've seemingly missed The Shining Stars beating them to it.

I wouldn't say that yet either.

Shining Stars are still technically on the main show and hopefully neither will be busted for a wellness violation. It's a really low bar but they haven't reached it. Yet.

Eh, *shrugs*, at least those 30 seconds is them actually showing off character and personality. And Primo & Epico held the tag belts and competed at WrestleMania when they were at their least over.

[xCompackx]

If their gimmick really is "Come to Puerto Rico!", I don't see a reason for them to wrestle. I mean, the segments every week kind of fulfill what their characters are.

[Perd]

 Last night's promo was clearly filmed at a Chili's. Boneless buffalo wings, the quintessential Puerto Rican delicacy.

They should just be singles guys where every week it turns out they made a bet where the winner gets to stay in Puerto Rico and the loser has to leave the island to go wrestle.

They aren't. They're Puerto Rican ambassadors, with a gimmick that's not clear enough what their alignment is. Crowds can't react to them if they don't know if they're supposed to cheer or boo them. They should either have them do full blown heel things like harass people onscreen or do away with the gimmick and have them be themselves.

People thought that just because their debut was on Smackdown, even though some of those same people weren't happy with "nothing happening" on the blue show. Thank goodness they were wrong, The Vaudevillains have been great.

[A Platypus Rave]

Again They are blatantly heels.

They are saying that unlike the shithole you live in Puerto Rico is great, and they say that in pretty much those exact words.

I look at the quality of what someone does, not what they're booked to accomplish. Or else, you know, Del Rio.

It was awesome to be a fan during NXT season three on the other hand.

The logic is probably, "We didn't let it simmer long enough, try it some more, maybe THEN it'll work!" Which it won't.
