Just a thought.
Do you think the Matadores will actually be alter-egos of people like Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes, and the Miz doing a Midnight Rider thing.
I know the thing is rumored to be the Primo/Epico tag team and all, but I could see a Mr. America thing coming from this especially with the timing of the gimmick. They have masks. The gimmick is ridiculous. It kind of fits.

That would be cool, like maybe they change back and forth between masks like Charlie Haas.

In a shocking swerve, they're both Tito Santana.

They should do a segment where they put 2 local jobbers in the outfits and have them run into Primo and Epico backstage.

I don't get these characters in 2013.
I understand it's probably aimed at little kids but I don't see any cultural trend that calls for wrestling matadores.

We've had clowns, members of the IRS, vampires, cult leaders, hockey players and Kane. Wrestling matadores is hardly any sort of stretch for the WWE.

They should make a new vampire. Influenced by True Blood and the Vamp character from Metal Gear Solid.
Have Fandango do it.
Better yet, have Gangrel turn Fandango into a vampire.
Shitloads of cash.

It's just going to be a fun lower/mid card gimmick I wouldn't put too much thought into it.

I think the idea is to get people behind what tremendously entertaining athletes Primo and Epico are without the stigma that they're Primo and Epico.

If they did this, it'll remind me of The Headbangers wrestling as The Headbangers on the main shows while wrestling as "The Flying Nuns" on Shotgun Saturday Night.

I think that "OLE" chant will be pretty huge actually, the crowd will love it and both guys will get a good push out of it. But the gimmick wont have to much of a shelflife.

This does seem to be a situation where SD being its own brand could really help. The Miz/Morrison feud with Primo and Carlito got all of them over and they just... wrestled fun matches for the most part. What a thought. And no to the original post. The Corporation angle is too serious to feature men wearing pink jockstraps on their face.

In a shocking swerve, they're both Tito Santana. That his involvement with this gimmick would be "shocking" is a sad statement on the times we live in. Shame on you, America.

Honestly, go back and watch the Los Matadores vignettes while keeping this theory in mind. First one talks about the Matadores only being legends, talks about their bravery etc. The second one talks about a mean old bull (an opponent) that was thought to be undefeatable until 2 men rose up. It fits.
Akeem: you said that this is just "going to be a fun lower/mid card gimmick I wouldn't put too much thought into it. " That sounds exactly how HHH was describing Daniel Bryan by referencing Doink the Clown and the cruiserweight title. This would be a play on that by a group of guys that know they deserve better. HHH wants us to be a low-card novelty act...let's use that against him.
Black Balloon: If Ziggler is involved, and it seems like he is one of the main ones being set up to fight the Corporation, why WOULDN"T the jock strap be pink?
Keep in mind that the vignettes started airing the day after Summerslam when the landscape of the WWE changed.
