10 Non-Wrestlers WWE Or AEW Should Sign

The days of on-screen authority figures are over. There was a time and place for them, a time and place best known as 'The Attitude Era', although that should probably only extend to the Mr. McMahon character between the years 1997 and 2002. Teddy Long was vaguely entertaining for a while but almost all authority figures are infuriatingly inconsistent and illogical, making terrible decisions that only serve to delegitimise their credibility.

Everyone except Dario Cueto, that is. Dario Cueto was awesome.

There was a lot to love about those early days of Lucha Underground, but it was Dario Cueto's maniacal and violent steering of the ship that made it work. He wasn't a dastardly heel looking to screw babyfaces for no reason other than 'because I'm a heel', he was an equal opportunity lover of total violence, with brutality as entertainment the only currency that he was interested in. Well, that and money, but you get the point.

Portrayed by actual actor Luis Fernandez-Gill, Cueto had a poise and delivery that was head and shoulders above most other performers in wrestling, although that should be expected. That he was able to transpose it to the world of wrestling was the real surprise, and he flourished in the Temple.

We haven't seen Cueto in years and no, the curiosity that was Antonio Cueto doesn't really count. The wrestling world misses you, El Jefe.
