What with the excellent teams we've had debut recently (Shield and Wyatt Family) I can't see this gimmick getting over in the slightest. You certainly couldn't imagine them taking the straps from Rollins and Reigns.
Shame, both are fantastic workers, I liked them when they had the belts (but couldn't stand Rosa Mendes).
Seriously giving them a gimmick like this and expecting to get over with fans... well i guess along with divas match their matches will be another piss break:cody
Konan and his crew on MLW said that Mascarita dorada a mini that the wwe brought from mexico is going to be teamed up with them. I am not sure if that will actually happen but whatever.
I really dont get the negative reactions to this gimmick. I know it's a stupid bull fighter gimmick, but they're essentially just a lucha tag team (yes i know lucha is mexican and that this bull fighting gimmick is spanish and that primo and epico are peurta ricans).
I expect the gimmick will incorporate them leapfrogging opponents and ducking and diving out the way whilst they try and get the crowd to chant 'Ole' in the process, which could be quite fun. They're a tag team at the end of the day. They aren't ever gonna have solo's careers and challenge for anything else. I can get past the inconsistencies with Primo and Epico portraying spanish bull fighters and just sit back and enjoy them in the ring because they're good wrestlers.
They'll be the new flavor of the month around here, where people will change their avatars and signatures related to the Los Matadores and when the team inevitably flops, said people will revert back to their old avatars and signatures. I'm not hyped one bit. Maybe i'm being cynical but i can't see this working.
I think Los Matadores are already an incredible flop. Their ring gear is among the worst I've seen. I'm half expecting them to be clumsy and made to be a big joke.
Every time I see their vignette I think of Scott Hall back in WCW pretending to be a bull (index fingers stuck up like horns and digging his foot into the ring) mocking the LWO when their music hit. I'm already laughing at them and they haven't "arrived" yet.
