According to the Brian and Vinny Show on WrestlingObserver.com, WWE is planning splitting up Los Matadores and El Torito on television soon. The plan is to have El Torito join The Lucha Dragons and bring in Hornswoggle as part of the Los Matadores.
They have already started to tease the separation on this past Thursdays episode of SmackDown.
When Bloom returned to WWE a few years ago, the intention was to make him a main-event-level monster heel, and the creative team was assigned to come up with a character for him. Among the pitches for Bloom were for him to be a masked mauler, an ex-prisoner in an orange jumpsuit and an American samurai.
I was of the belief that the best option was to give him a cool-looking mask with black ring attire that showed the tattoos on his upper body but covered his ample midsection. The more we hide his identity, I thought, the less chance the crowd will be chanting Albert at him.
I also thought he needed a mouthpiece, and my suggestion was to hire James Mitchell as his manager. The samurai character was my least favorite. Of course, thats the one we went with. And instead of a manager, he was given a follower who never spoke English named Sakamoto.
Remember when Kane use to come out to the ring completely restrained with chains around his arms and legs, with armed guards escorting him to the ring? That's how you create a monster heel.
