10 Worst Actors In WWE History

Reading a script is fine and all, but when it comes to acting you sometimes need to be able to improvise. After all, “anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation” and this is doubly true with its live programming.

Kalisto was never much of a talker either as part of Lucha House Party or as a solo star but he does have one particular microphone moment that stands out.

I’m not quite sure what it was about getting drafted to SmackDown in 2016 that made Kalisto so excited, but a brief backstage cutaway to the luchador saw him so amped that he could barely speak. Announcer Greg Hamilton asked him what fans could expect and Kalisto’s brain just stopped dead in its tracks.

You can visibly see him realising he’s not able to dig himself out of this hole after he mispronounces Baron Corbin’s name and promises the fans he’s here to “make a good… lucha.. A good lucha thing”. He concludes the segment but whooping and running out of frame, presumably to go and hide in the locker room for the rest of the evening.

Two years later, in a WWE YouTube video, the company celebrated the botch which only made it more likely to be the thing that most people remember about Kalisto's long but uneventful WWE run.
