Remember when TNA tried to introduce a superhero character that children could get on board with? That persona was handed the crude name of Suicide, something that almost killed it before any wrestler going under the hood had a chance. Meanwhile, AAA were showing the way with their own over-the-top character.

Dubbed Aero Star, this wrestler had the superhero appeal without the dodgy name. Flashy and colourful, Aero Star has also been a success story in Lucha Underground. Normally clad in trademark red and blue, Aero is exactly the kind of wrestler that TNA were looking for when launching a heroic high-flyer.

The fact Aero Star wears a mask doesn't take away from how expressive he is facially. That's to the man's credit: he has a smile that would surely be a winner in WWE. Fans of Chikara and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla will be able to attest that Aero is worth watching and belongs on a bigger platform.

450 Splash, Shooting Star Press and beyond, Aero Star can hit them all with relative ease. Even at 32, he's one to look out for in 2017.
