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 Coming Soon

People burying it before they even debut, lol. IWC wants a better tag division, WWE starts work, IWC bitches.

Comedy characters work, look at the attitude era. Plus gimmick tag teams work, the best tag division the WWE ever had was the late eighties when they had gimmick tag teams who dressed the same and had tag finishers.

Give it a chance and take off your bitch pants for a single, solitary moment.

I'm all for gimmick tag teams, but matadores...really? who the fuck can think this is a good idea? Fucking horrible on every level and clearly doomed to failure from the start.

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 Coming Soon

Man, I never thought I'd see another Matador on WWF/E TV after HBK beat Tito Santana at WrestleMania 8. What's next? A garbage-man? A plumber? A clown? Oh wait, nevermind.

:vince5
They already have a garbage man on the roster. This was exposed on Smackdown when Sandow was trying to find Rhodes in order to recover his briefcase.

They look like shitty generic "Its funny how cheesy they are" comic book bank robbers. Bonus points for masks that a look like a 5 year old cut from a 1.99$ roll of felt from walmart.

Please fucking no. Please dont push them. Please drop this and fire jobo and jobico.

The whole vignette tried way too hard to be elegant and followed up with the cheapest gayest ring attire they could find. At least fandango is mildly entertaining with a catchy theme, plus they atleast sprung for ring gear from target. Not this clusterfuck that looks like a costume from a party city and some 5 year olds class project. I can barely watch the whole minute

Re: Los Matadores Coming Soon

There's no harm in trying. Primo and Epico are two talented wrestlers who have never gotten over being "normal." Go back and watch the WrestleMania XXV pre-show - you could have heard a pin drop during Primo and Carlito's entrance for a (relatively) big match in front of 60,000 people. And I can't remember a time when Epico got a reaction. Ever.

If the gimmick flops royally, who cares? You're left with two guys who've never been over anyway.

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?

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.
