10 Wrestlers Who Are Wasted In WWE

7. Lucha House Party

Lucha! Lucha! Luch-awww, what the hell is up with these dudes?

Kalisto, Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado are all fine workers, but they're handled with about as much care by creative as three job guys getting $150 a night. Compare how Lucha Bros are presented in AEW by comparison, and things become even more alarming. House Party should be having matches like Fénix and Pentagón Jr do.

It's not that the Lucha Bros get hot storylines, killer promos or top billing on Dynamite or AEW pay-per-views, it's that the bookers there know their strengths. WWE's writers don't seem to know how to use Kalisto and pals, so they just stick them out there as house show filler or to make up the numbers in multi-man tags.

If there's one obvious flaw in WWE's plan (if they even have one) for Lucha House Party, it's that they're rarely allowed to look like a threat. This makes it super-difficult for the trio to get fans into their matches, and it usually results in mass toilet breaks when they come out.
