10 Wrestlers Who Are The Best In The World At Exactly ONE Thing

9. Angel Garza: Sleaze

Few wrestling gimmicks produce as much cringe as the sleazy womanising heel. The character is so common that it takes sifting through thousands and thousands of hacky renditions to stumble upon somebody genuinely cool and charismatic enough to pull it off at the highest level, as only a handful of dirtbag villains are as slick as they think they are.

Angel Garza is the modern benchmark.

Forget that WWE made a kayfabe-shattering song and dance about Garza proposing to his real-life fiancee in the ring last year for a moment, because everything about this guy screams "slimeball." He might be the sweetest guy in the world while the cameras aren't rolling but with his model good looks and immense physical charisma, Garza looks like he was born to play this role. The swagger, self-assuredness, smugness, and showmanship are all there, and it helps that he's just as phenomenal between the ropes, making the 27-year-old somebody WWE could potentially build around for years.

That WWE replaced Becky Lynch with Garza on the dot com RAW banner bodes well, as does Vince McMahon's viewing him as the new Eddie Guerrero, despite that take's reductiveness.
