Who's the next Mexico-to-WWE free agent?

[Big E Lashley]

With Alberto Del Rio and Myzteziz coming back to Mexico from WWE recently, and perhaps Ray Mysterio Jr. on the way, who do you think is the next luchador to go from Mexico to WWE? Who's the best fit for WWE style that would be a realistic option? (Young enough, big enough, may have some desire to leave their current promotion, etc.)

[Cristobal]

[Cobra Commander]

all three Psycho Circus guys are above 5'10 (with at least 1 or 2 really tall [for Lucha] dudes).. I'd imagine the first question would be "how much of their AAA gimmick has to be used for them to get over in the US"

[Jenalysis]

Could they work as a Shield type just wreck everything as a trios group?  Are they big enough to do this.  You'd probably have to ditch the metal shirts, but keep them as evil clowns wrecking shit and it can work.

Evil clowns always work.

so they'd wind up combining their clown gimmick with the Mexicools gimmick and be evil clowns with Mexican flag facepaint riding mowers out to the ring to wreck shit?

L.A. Park is due for a WWE run, damnit!

[Matt D]

Rush could have an amazing NXT run but that's about it.

I don't know if they're looking at CMLL now after Sin Cara and Del Rio but Rush seems like such a perfect fit. Very charismatic, great brawler and a 25 year old bodybuilder. HHH's pants would fly off if he ever saw him.

 

But it's probably for the best if he has a good long CMLL run before considering a move to the States.

They would probably tell Rush to cut his hair.

They would probably tell Rush to cut his hair.

and Rush would become Ruben Sanchez, in honor of his unnamed idol

One guy has to have an edger to you know edge the area around the ring and the path down.

WWE's not going to push anyone past the middle (or the low middle) without the ability to do English promos and most guys in Mexico can't do English promos. Anything else - size, flips, looks whatever - WWE has plenty of people who can do that. Hijo del Fantasma can do promos in English so he's the guy who makes the most sense. Other guys have shown an ability to write a little bit of English on Twitter, though it's a long way from being able to tweet in a foreign language and be able to speak/understand it. (I know that one.) They signed Hijo del Medico Asesino, who would be hard pressed to make a top 500 in Mexico, and the speaking part is the only reason I can figure. 

 

Monster Clown's older than you'd think and Murder Clown is secretly no good but protected by being in trios. He can get better, Rowan did, but it's another obstacle. It'd be a lot easier for WWE to just steal the gimmick than translate the characters (and they wouldn't want to do that because they'd need to reinvent it as their own instead.) 

 

There are guys who could do well in a fantasy WWE - or current NXT! - but there are very few who would do well in the greater environment. Maybe the secret answer is actually Tigre Uno, depending on how well he's been paying attention at indy shows and TNA the last couple of years.
