WWE’s ten worst characters can be saved with just some minor tweaking.

The exciting thing about WWE is that yesterday’s mid-card guy can be tomorrow’s top guy. A superstar can go from rags to riches, and sometimes all it takes is a minor tweak. A small adjustment can be the difference between fans taking a bathroom break during a superstar’s segment or not being able to leave their seats.

Steve Austin was always great in the ring, but once WWE gave ol’ Stone Cold a little more mic time, he became a living legend. Brother Love stepping aside for Paul Bearer was critical to the development of The Undertaker character. The Dead Man would have still been a megastar, but how long would it have taken without his ghoulish manager by his side?

WWE’s current roster is full of struggling characters with the potential to be more. It’s painful to watch what they are and disappointing to know what they could be. The good news is these characters don’t need a drastic overhaul but just some fine-tuning. WWE’s worst characters are only minor tweaks away from being the best that they can be.

10. Lucha House Party - Take Them Seriously

It is disappointing to see Lucha House Party getting the Mexicools treatment. Although they are not riding around on lawnmowers, they are being booked like a clown act in the promotion. It is disappointing since Rey Mysterio has done so much to bring respectability to luchadores in WWE.

Before WWE, Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado proved themselves around the world. Metalik was an international star competing in CMLL and New Japan Pro Wrestling, while Dorado was well-travelled on the independent circuit and internationally. They just need the opportunity to be taken seriously in WWE.

Dorado and Metalik need to escape the 24/7 division. They are talented enough to have quality title programs with either The New Day or The Street Profits. Lucha House Party would even be better off going to NXT if it meant that they would be serious contenders in the tag team division.
