What do guys like Hornswoggle and Los Matadores do?

[Deleted]

I still don't get how they didn't have the gimmick be them as heels, still Primo and Epico, just blatantly pandering and trying to get people to love them while still being cheating dicks. It'd have made way more sense and had a lot more of a shelflife than doing that gimmick straight in the 2010s.

Or why, if you want to repackage them, you even needed to formally write them off and take them off for an extended period of time. If they just came in with a new gimmick no one cares enough about Los Matadores to question it.

Matadores will be randomly stuffed in the Andre Battle Royal and their eliminations won't even be recognized by commentary.

I'd rather be a paid nobody in the WWE than an unpaid somebody in TNA

I'd say they'll probably be the first eliminated, but somehow I think that'll be Breeze.

Play Boggle?

That was the idea originally per Primo. That they were insincere pandering hero types.

I don't think he said why they didn't go that way... I can only assume it is due to El Torito and his neat-oscity.

He did say it was because of Torito in a recent Talk is Jericho interview. Something like, "Oh now we have a cute little bull? Never mind. Our idea isn't gonna work."

He also thought Rosa wouldn't actually be paired with him because she barely speaks Spanish. ...Also wrong.

Who do you think is making those "Last year I made $50000 working from home..." posts online?

Lonely singles in my area?

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Hornswoggle is still employed???

[Hit Girl]

Los Matadores work fine as the modern day version of the Young Stallions or the Killer Bees. Even a tag team division needs jobbers to the stars.

Hornswoggle was OK with 3MB, but naturally, WWE shitcanned two thirds of them.

They should've killed Torito then act surprised when people booed them.

"What do you expect? We're bullfighters!"

That pretty much sums up Primo's WWE career. Literally everything they have him do seems to have been half-thought through.

- Debuts with a backstage interview only to have Mike Adamle basically cut him off mid-sentence and go "Whatever, there's somebody important" and chase Cena as he walks past.

- Has Carlito turn heel on him when the Colons were one of the few tag teams, over or otherwise, on the roster.

- Spends years working as both a face and heel from week to week with no rhyme or reason.

- Joins Epico as part of Hunico's Latino stable that lasts all of one episode of SD.

- Get Abraham Washington as their manager, only to have him double cross them and manage the Prime Time Players, yet still remain heels.

- Get Rosa as their manager for no other reason than "Hey, she's sort of Latina".

- Gets saddled with a nonsensical matador gimmick that screams wacky, pandering heel yet is inexplicably played straight.

- Attack El Torito and turn heel. Immediately disappear from TV, and then eventually from house shows as well.

He did have a pretty sweet pinwheel pyro show during his entrance for the longest time though.

Supposedly guys don't get released very often anymore because they think stockholders see cuts as a sign that finances are struggling.

A big one is the decision not to pair AJ and Primo together despite the fact that they were one of the few things that legitimately worked about NXT 3. Then not even mentioning him in silly WWE.com listicles about AJ's love life because 'she's too over for you bro.'
