8 Wrestlers Who Should've Been Hired Over 8 Current WWE Stars
6. Ricochet Instead Of Sin Cara
Imagine a tag team of Ricochet (under a hood, presented similar to Prince Puma) and Rey Mysterio in 2012. While the Sin Cara experiment was a failure, what if WWE had limited their search a bit more close to home and opted for the already well-versed in more American than lucha psychology and working style Ricochet. Signing a huge Mexican star in Mistico didn't need to be WWE's solution to creating a Mexican star. Maybe if WWE had dug a bit deeper to realize that lucha was evolving again, signed one of the best doing it, and maybe even called Ricochet "Tres Mysterio" (or something) and started their own modern lucha tradition with a burgeoning superstar under the hood, it could've been something special.
