10 Current WWE Roster Members Who Are Beyond Saving

3. The Colóns

Spirited (if heelish) Puerto Rican wrestlers, pretend bullfighters and bizarre time-share vendors are all gimmicks Primo and Epico Colón have played in WWE. None of them, not Los Matadores, Shining Stars or straight up tag-team, have managed to get them over with fans in the long run.

That has left The Colóns on the outside looking in on SmackDown as other teams on the main roster and fresh blood from NXT make a mark. They're not even in a jobber role these days.

It's not easy to see where Primo and Epico go from here. They've tried everything at this point, and WWE seem intent on tacking a gimmick to their otherwise solid work in-ring. Without the goofy characters, they're never on TV. With them, they don't last long before creative pull the plug and leave both right back in the same spot.

At this rate, The Colóns must yearn for the days of Rosa Mendes or El Torito.
