#4 Primo & Epico - The Backstabber
Trending
Primo and Epico are on the shortlist for ‘most poorly-planned team in WWE’. First, they were ordinary tag team wrestlers, then they were bullfighters, and now they’re travel agents. Is there a glitch in the Matrix, or have we actually gone back in time to the 1990’s WWF?
As if their gimmick wasn’t bad enough, both Colon brothers use the same manoeuvre, the Backstabber, as their respective finisher. Like other moves on this list, this one’s place here is due to the fact that others use it either for a big spot in their match or as a set-up for something bigger, which devalues the move in question.

Sasha Banks uses the Backstabber to set-up her Bank Statement finisher, and Alberto Del Rio used it on occasion during his most recent run. Neither one of those wrestlers used this move to actually end matches, yet now we’re supposed to believe two lower-card wrestlers can win with that same move?
This lack of forethought prevents fans from suspending their disbelief, which leads to a bored crowd. A bored crowd isn’t likely to respond to a big move like this one, which leads to those wrestlers treading water in terms of storyline direction.
