10 WWE Gimmicks That Are Broken
2. The Shining Stars - Guys Who Really Like Puerto Rico
Have you heard about these guys? They sell timeshares and plane tickets to Puerto Rico! Doesn’t that just make your blood boil? No? It doesn’t?
Of course it doesn’t.
Why anyone thought turning Primo and Epico into smug travel agents was a good idea is anyone’s guess, but the results have been about as clear as Puerto Rico’s shimmering coastal waves. You could make the argument that The Shining Stars have a little more potential than Los Matadores (they were matadors, in case you forgot), but there’s really nowhere for characters like this to go. More importantly, there’s no explanation offered as to why two people who just want to get you to visit Puerto Rico would bother joining a wrestling promotion in the first place.
Add to this the fact that The Shining Stars finisher is also called ‘The Shining Star’, and it’s easy to see that this is one of the most bargain bin gimmicks in WWE today.
