10 WWE Gimmicks Nobody Was Supposed To Take Seriously

5. El Torito

When WWE debuted Los Matadores there was a lot of hype that a mini was going to join the team. Any time that happens the sirens should sound in your head because that is WWE's way of telling you this is going to be a joke. The guy that wrestles as El Torito, who is also known as Mascarita Dorada, is actually very good in the ring. It's just that he's presented as a complete joke with the commentators making jokes on commentary and he's always being booked to do comedy stuff. Remember when he was first being used? They would have him do ridiculous things like running head first into Zeb Colter's groin and then Colter would collapse as if it was the most painful thing in the world. Sometimes he would chase divas around the ring just so the announcers could say he's a "horny bull" because he had horns on. When the whole character is there just so the commentators can make jokes and people can laugh at how stupid it is, that's a gimmick that shouldn't be taken seriously.
