Except when he's Sin Cara which he says is when he's not working for AAA in Mexico, even though the Sin Cara name/mask aren't known in Mexico and he doesn't own it either. And against the advice of Del Rio (the two of them are somehow friends despite the gun incident) he refused to learn English or anything else that might get him over in WWE.

Del Rio probably respects his shoot fighting background.

Speaking as someone who loved ECW, I think a lot of people went over to UFC/Pride. The really core ECW crowd was the same people who were into late 90's super fratty HxC stuff (which I was also very embarrassingly into) like Floorpunch and Blood For Blood. With ECW a lot of it wasn't about wrestling, it was more that it was a sort of violent spectacle with a strong DIY aesthetic. When the sort of pop hardcore for east coast jocks died out in the early 00's I think a lot of those guys just grew up and left it behind, or switched to UFC since that was when it's flag was really starting to rise. Most of those dudes I know now listen to the 00's equivalent of ex-HxC Douche dadrock (La Dispute, Volbeat and Gaslight Anthem anyone?), casually watch UFC fights when they want a thing to do with the guys and relax in their upper middle class condos in Portland. It's unfair to say that ECW fans were in it for a different reason universally, but I think a lot of the crazy young dudes you saw filling up the box screaming their heads off were there for a totally not-wrestling related reason (even if they did enjoy the wrestling!). Those were the kind of guys that got me into stuff like FMW so I am eternally grateful. There was something magical about going to the flea market and visiting the stall of some 20 year old journalism major who was using the school equipment to dupe dozens of ultra violent imported tapes from Japan.

Well, that makes...sense? I've only seen a couple of cara/kaliso and he didn't seem that bad, but I'm not real familiar with lucha stuff, so. Anyone know if the Vaudevillians are getting over at all? I just love the idea of it, for some reason.

Endless Mike posted:Nah, they're really doing very cartoony characters on NXT which really don't translate to the WWE main roster very well. Some can be tweaked a bit, but I don't really think Simon Gotch will ever get over as anything other than comedy jobber. Aiden English *might* but I'm not really convinced. Yes because Goldust and Stardust are totally realistic characters

Cartoony gimmicks are fine when they have the angles, matches and mic time required to get them over. It only becomes a problem when a gimmick is the only thing they have going. See: Adam Rose.

Hell I'm even looking forward to the Dusts interacting in any way with Ascension. I'm sure Cody and Goldy could pull a decent match out of those two at least.
