I've been out of the loop for a month and have no idea who these guys are. I can't find anything on the web about them. Can someone fill me in?

Re: Los Matadores?

New gimmick for Primo and Epico. It hasn't been on NXT, that vignette is the first we're seeing of it.

It makes no sense because Puerto Ricans don't have bullfighting but WWE Logic means all Hispanics are the same
Yeah but were not supposed to know its Primo and Epico underneath the masks are we...So nationality doesn't matter ;)

They're the repackaged versions of Primo and Epico.

Re: Los Matadores?

Excited about this. At least we're actually getting tag teams with real gimmicks. Not just two random wrestlers thrown together. Gotta be Triple H's doing. Well done

Re: Los Matadores?

Don't mind seeing Primo/Epico repackaged since on their own,they didn't do much.

Both had masks in FCW didn't they?


I wonder if WWE would start having a stable era? We already have Wyatt Family,Shield,"Corporation",Real Americans(which can grow), maybe even have Del Rio team up with them?

Re: Los Matadores?

Smart move giving them masks so as to get the kids interested with them, though I can't help but LOL at the sheer idiocy of giving two Puerto Ricans a gimmick based on Spanish culture. Quite the surprising miscue considering the WWE's always in top form when it comes to promoting stereotypes.

Now that it looks like PTP is getting a push (finally!), and The Usos have been on a little roll, let them be the jobber team of the division.
Agreed.

Re: Los Matadores?

Hmm...looks great for the tag division. We could use some new face tag teams though.
Heel Teams: Shield,Wyatt Family,Real Americans,3MB
Face Teams: Usos,PTP(after tonight I think that's the direction their going)Tons of funk...LOL
Kinda slim on the face side in regards to star power and number of teams

Re: Los Matadores?

This was the first promo for them. And apparently it's just Primo and Epico.

Which I'm absolutely fine with. They had no gimmick or character before they disappeared... and honestly I had completely forgotten about them. It will most likely be stupid but better that than dull.

Re: Los Matadores?

When I saw the promo I just sat there like "ooo-k." Hey, I guess it is at least something different for the tag team division that just may catch on with some fans. I personally think the direction they are going with it may come off as a bit outdated but we shall see.

Re: Los Matadores Coming Soon

With this, WWE is potentially screwing up everything that could still be El Generico. Im not even sure what he's up to since I don't keep up with NXT, but they renamed him, unmasked him, and now his reserved OLE craze MIGHT be used for these guys

This looks like it'll be a comedy gimmick reduced to tag team jobbers within 2 months.

Re: Los Matadores Coming Soon

Despite being Spaniard I dislike bullfighting because I think it's barbaric and cruel. That said, as a wrestling gimmick it can be funny and, yes, unique.

I'm glad gimmicks are returning because the era of the average dudes was the worst thing I've ever watched. I hope it's Cody Rhodes's turn next.
