#5 The Colons
It may surprise you to learn that Primo has been in WWE since 2008, and Epico since 2010. In the time that has elapsed since their signings, they have achieved virtually nothing. Sure, they held the WWE Tag Team Championships, but that was way back in 2011, a time where the tag team division was dying. The fact that the makeshift duo of Kofi Kingston and R-Truth defeated them to win the titles tells you all you need to know about their reign.
They have been known as Primo and Epico, Los Matadores and The Shining Stars over the past few years and now, they’ve been sent to SmackDown LIVE and are being referred to as The Colons. Nice try, WWE, but another name change and a change of brands will not suddenly get this team over. While The Colons are talented, the way they’ve been booked over the years has been so poor that absolutely nobody cares about them.
The only way they will regain some fan support is to leave WWE and start totally afresh. In ROH, The Colon’s would be very sternly tested, as they’d have to be at their very best every night just to ensure that the crowd remain interested in them. This may be exactly the environment they need to be in, to finally excel as wrestlers.
Facing off aginst teams such as The Young Bucks and The Briscoes would undeniably force them to raise their game to a level not yet seen from them in WWE. They should go to ROH and do it very soon before it’s too late for them to recover.
