The match and performance itself (barring El Torito, who was great) was iffy. The gimmick itself is fantastic.

It looked like they were wearing the same gear Tito did the last time he was in the WWF.
It felt like a very old school gimmick.

I was looking forward to the gimmick, but as soon as the bull came out I felt it was dumb. They will be jobbed and released within a few months sad to say.

I'm minority here, but I liked the actual team a lot more than El Torito. He didn't really add much at all for me, but I didn't really dislike him. I do agree that it felt like something was missing overall, but I still enjoyed it.
Plus, I've always been a fan of Primo, and it's good to see him have something to do.

I was ready to see them debut and had an open mind for it, but it fell pretty flat. There was a lot of stuff going on and others made a good point in that primo and epico didn't seem really immersed in it, they just looked kind of dopey in their headgear and did their choreographed bit on the stage. Maybe it will improve, but on first impression I don't think it's really going to work.

Loved it. I would have liked for Torito to hit one of his 50 revolution headscissors or something on someone though. That really would have won most everyone over.

I like the guys involved, especially Primo, but I have mixed feelings about the gimmick. It's pretty fun right now, but I could see it getting old quickly and could see the gimmick itself being limiting in how far they can go in the tag division.

WWE is really banking on OLE! getting over for someone that isn't El Generico. Yeah, you could tell how obvious they were to push the "OLE!" chant on these two because of how over-the-top JBL was at the end of the match. He sounded like he was about to faint with how many times he was screaming and singing "OLE!" in the last minute or so. |

I'm not as excited as I've been with other recent new gimmicks but I'm taking a wait and see approach. It is an upgrade over generic Puerto Ricans with no discernible personalities though

JBL: "Hey there's something familiar about these guys"
Curryman/Suicide gimmick?

This and the flute skit on Smackdown are WWF 1995 level of stupid. We need WCW. So...The Rhodes vs The Shield in a "Kiss Dusty's Ass" match? |

Only thing I really don't care for is their stupid attire. It really does look like something you'd pull out of 1995.

I thought the match was absolutely terrible, but my Fiancée and I laughed our asses off when El Torito came out.

JBL: "Hey there's something familiar about these guys" Curryman/Suicide gimmick? Yeah, that line from JBL does leave open the possibility that Primo and Epico could still exist in the WWE Universe and be used concurrently with Los Matadores. Primo and Epico's profiles are still included in the WWE.com Superstars section as are the new entrees for Diego, Fernando, and El Torito. |

I'm neutral towards Diego and Fernando Matadore, but El Torito is f***ing amazing.

I will say this. That was the best I have seen Rey Mysterio move around the ring in years, but I am still not completely sold on repackaging him as a bull.
