10 WWE Booking Gimmicks And Characters Other Companies Are Doing Better

WWE have made several attempts at a Lucha Libre stable over the past few years.

2018 saw the union of Kalisto, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik to form the bright and colourful jobber stable Lucha House Party who accomplished 2 24/7 Championship wins. Zelina Vega aligned her client Andrade with Angel Garza and eventually Austin Theory in 2020 who collectively accomplished... nothing, whilst around the same time, Legado Del Fantasma - comprising of Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza, and later, Elektra Lopez - formed in NXT, quickly capturing their only Cruiserweight Championship win between them, and have since been largely jobbed out throughout 2021.

Meanwhile in ROH, the MexiSquad stable of Flamita, Rey Horus and Bandido had a short-lived but highly entertaining run with the company.

Blighted by the Coronavirus pandemic very early on (including a robbed match-up of MexiSquad vs. Will Ospreay, Amazing Red, and Rocky Romero), the trio toppled Villain Enterprises to capture the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships, engaged in some spectacular in-fighting leading to a sensational 'can they coexist?' triple threat at the 19th Anniversary Show before Flamita walked out on the team April, leaving Horus and Bandido a duo.
