12 Ups & 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Feb 5)

9. King Bastard

Look at that still of Andrade's face before you hit the play button. What a glorious, smug bastard. The man leaks charisma, and all it takes is a glance and a tilt of the head to let you know how much personality he has, and how daft WWE were for keeping him on SmackDown's bench for so long.

Though too short to finish higher up the list, Andrade and Zelina Vega's promo hit every mark. The former 'Cien' dropped a few lines but not so many that his imperfect English was exposed. Vega took the wheel immediately after, calling Rey Mysterio a "myth best left in the history books," and that Andrade's legend begins with the WWE icon's end.

Give these guys a big pay-per-view match. Please, for the love of all that's sacred and pure, give these guys a big pay-per-view match.
