11 Wrestlers Who Masqueraded As Rosebuds

5. Kalisto

Kalito holds a unique position amongst Rosebud-alumni, in that he was the only one to feature as a Rosebud in his legitimate wrestling gear. Much like Carmella, Gotch, Crowe, and a number of others yet to be mentioned, Kalisto was involved in the initial Adam Rose Rosebud party, even getting a spotlight thrown on him by Rose himself.

Kalisto was twirling a lightsaber of sorts, encouraging Rose to tell Taylor to 'take a look at this little fellow'. The ridiculing of size for Kalisto started early it would seem. But there he was, in his ring gear and mask, with zero changes to his attire by the time he made his debut on NXT as part of the Lucha Dragons.

Kalisto has gone on to become a two-time United States Champion, and whilst he's been fairly quiet over the last few months many expect him to defeat The Brian Kendrick this Sunday and bring the Cruiserweight Championship to SmackDown in the process. Let the Lucha Things commence!

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
