As has been proven in wrestling from Superfly Snuka to Mick Foley, people just love a guy who can jump from very tall places extraordinarily well. AAA's Angelico happens to be one of those guys, and where WWE failed with Justin Gabriel, maybe this South African star could excel. The same things that Angelico does well, Jack Evans does well, too. The idea of Angelico and Evans being a daredevil tag team would be fun, and would hide weaknesses and accentuate strengths well. WWE's currently in a space where they're hiring and showcasing new performers who can do everything well and exist anywhere on their card. Maybe it's time for WWE to look into some specialists who may not necessarily be main eventers every night, but definitely could enliven the product to a significant degree. To use a metaphor, if WWE wants to be the best chef in the entertainment kitchen, then maybe buying a rare wrestling spice or two and occasionally pulling it out and using it would add a much needed dash of daredevil fun to their product.
