10 Current WWE Superstars That Belong In Another Era
9. Kalisto - Mid-1990s WCW
It's astonishing Kalisto didn't become another grim wrestling statistic after viewing Rey Mysterio's 2018 Royal Rumble return. Drowning in a mask filled with tears wouldn't have been an unreasonable response after witnessing the man he was booked to replace return with vigour unseen since elevating WCW's Cruiserweight league in Nitro's halcyon days.
He dazzled in the division more than most at the time, but it was loaded with good-to-great lightweights to fill out the wrestling quotient of the Monday Night juggernaut underneath the New World Order. Dean Malenko was a menace-turned-megastar with the title alongside incomparable irritant Chris Jericho, whilst Mysterio's Halloween Havoc 1997 clash with Eddie Guerrero is fondly remembered as one of the company's greatest ever battles.
Armed with his Salida del Sol finisher and a sort-of charisma if you really go looking for it, 'The King of Flight' wouldn't have remotely looked out of place amongst fellow hooded hit-makers Super Calo, Ultimo Dragon, Psychosis, and Juventud Guerrera.
No good on the microphone he may be, but WCW's gross negligence towards the oft-forgotten group would be his gain. There for flips rather than quips and humiliating trips, Kalisto's poise would earn him at least 10 personality-free minutes a week on Nitro. It's more than he'd get today.
