Primco never seem to fully embrace the gimmick like Johnny Curtis did. The WWE can give gimmicks but it's up to the talent to make it their own and commit to it fully.

It did work IMO, and it's been pretty good. A funny lower midcard face tag team to break up the tension.

It feels like the plug has been pulled. It's like they were gong to feud them with Real Americans, but then they thought "wait...we're not jobbing these guys out over and over to Primo and Epico cosplaying as Tito Santana."
Xavier Woods and R-Truth can fill their spot on the card nicely.

First of all, it's only been about 2 months. Secondly, they were only lower card tag team fodder anyway. At least now Epico & Primo can get on TV and get a reaction instead of just being 'there'.

I thought it was funny when they went over the Real Americans on PPV, then The Real Americans went on after the loss to pretend it never happened and challenge for the tag titles.
Like WWE realized "oh god, what have we done!?"

Fans don't relate to Matadors in this country. We need to Americanize the gimmick and make them Rodeo Clowns.

I get that it's a joke gimmick and everything, but In 2013 I find it hard to believe anyone would cheer on bullfighters. Maybe if you made them sleazy cowards who had someone attack their opponents backstage before the actual match that would make more sense.

The only time they've actually been since in the last three weeks was in that backstage comedy bit with Santino playing with the action figures.

I'm on an iPhone so I can't do it, but right now is where the "not sure if serious" picture would be handy.

I'm telling you, if they just had JBL blurt out, "You know, Maggle, Matador is Spanish for Rellik spelled backwards" it would be 5 billion ratings points.

Plenty of places still have wacky gimmicks.
