Seriously, how did Vince look at this man and not see dollar signs? Because he came out to crickets with the live crowds.

It’s always the same excuses for why they and fans don’t see a Luchador working. No matter how much English they learn.
Same for Joshis, same for Nakamura.
The E can’t fail at utilizing international wrestlers, only be failed.

The E can’t fail at utilizing international wrestlers, only be failed. Pretty much. Elsewhere you've got AEW using a charismatic translator for Pentagon, you've got ROH using pretaped promos and subtitles when necessary to get across how intense RUSH is (and make use of it for the rest of their Latin talent, too), and all kinds of puro promotions making sure that their gaijin talent get subtitled promo time while getting to show off their personalities. Hell, within WWE you've had NXT pushing Asuka and Io as two of the most deadly champions in the world, and neither is fluent in English. It obviously can be done, yet the main roster writers just shrug and say "Eh, nothing we can do."

Mascara Dorada was considered Mexico's top luchador at one point and the best they can do with him was put him in a comedy gimmick.
If you're not Mysterio, WWE won't ever be pushing a Latin star.

Because he has Santos Escobar literally doing the same gimmick, probably for cheaper and without the perceived attitude or language issues. Also he was outshined when he was paired with Angel Garza and he was the he worst part of the trio. For most fans that didn’t see his NXT run, he was really just the guy that did the Spider-Man stop in the ropes.
