I'd say 3.0 are pretty average in the ring, but their shenanigans make up for whatever skill they lack.

I'd say they are the kind of wrestlers that it depends on who they're facing. Facing someone of average or sub-par skills, they're average themselves, albeit their charisma and presence makes up for it. Facing someone above average or better, they step up to their level.

Also, if WWE really wanted to retool his gimmick for the promotion, they could always go the obvious route... Foreign Exchange Student El Generico.

Yup, he made a gay porn film. He says he got double crossed, but still. He can play that but he knew it was a guy. Fox screwed up by doing a hardcore porno not because he banged a guy. And if you get double-crossed and then say "oh well" and do it anyway, did you really get double-crossed?

Kayfabe lives...inside Generico! It's still real to him damn it! Just an incredible in ring talent and character. The guy has it all, charisma, presence, mic skills...?, in ring skill, is well traveled, can do various kinds of matches from brawling/hardcore (the Steen feud in ROH and PWG among others) as well as technical wrestling and high flying. If he is not able to keep his character or the name I am sure he will be able to come up with just as a compelling character that hopefully still has the mask and the badass theme. Once we can confirm he passed all the health test stuff his future is looking very very bright in my opinion. F*** I hope they let him keep top rope BRAIIINNNBUSSTTAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH such an awesome finisher (imagine Bourne/Ziggler/Kofi and others selling it!), the way he does it is safe and as long as padding is on, and they land back in the ring its all good. Save exposed turnbuckle BRAAAINNNBUSTAHHHHH for a Wrestlemania street fight. Heyman is still around so maybe just maybe he can do what he did with CM Punk and get them to keep his name/gimmick/mask etc. This post was dedicated to his orphan children in Mexico

What a fun, touching farewell speech. Just makes me want to root for the guy that much more.
BTW - is there a significance to the Dr. Pepper that I'm missing?

I hope they keep the gimmick, but I can see a name change. When I first heard of him, I saw him just as a jobber with a jobber name. Similar in WWE when they have Ricardo be El Local on Saturday Morning Slam. He should keep the gimmick, same everything, but I feel it's an example like PAC where he's coming in WWE with a bad name.

Really touching speech from the guy. I wonder if the joke about him going back to Mexico means he is dropping the El Generico moniker...
