Kalisto

Real Name: Emanuel Alejandro Rodriguez

Height and Weight: 5'6" 170 lbs

Where he wrestles now: Monday Night Raw.

Where he might find more success: New Japan Pro Wrestling.

As Samuray Del Sol, the man now known as Kalisto racked up a great reputation in the Mexican and Japanese circuits, as well as the Independent scene. He was initially offered a WWE tryout in 2011 but didn't make the cut. However, he received a lot of critical praise from WWE, who told him to try again later.

Kallisto earned his contract the second time around. Despite wearing several championship belts in WWE, Kalisto seems to struggle with getting above the lower mid-card and tag team divisions. A change of venue might be just the thing he needs.

Why he would be better off in New Japan Pro Wrestling: The NJPW promotion has the most prestigious and competitive Junior Heavyweight division in the world. Not only would Kallisto have a variety of titles compete for, but he could also take part in NJPW's famous Junior Heavyweight tournaments.
