>>13449568While I don't think they'll reach Rey's heights, I do think Escobar and Dragon Lee have the best chances for great careers in the post Rey landscape
Carlito was lazy and didn't want it bad enough, happy to just keep selling his gimmick. Like a Puerto Rican RVD in his indifference.
Sin Cara couldn't speak English, only wanted to get his shit in and was a diva.
Del Rio had real potential to be a Mexican Ted Dibiase level heel but he Vince and Dunn's creativity was abysmal at the time with Punk/Heyman changing the landscape brick by brick. And Del Rio couldn't keep his nose clean,
Kallisto is just an American indie guy with stage fright on the mic.
Gran Mettalik was just meant to be the next Super Crazy or Tito Sanatana, an ethic job guy who can juice the crowd in the opener by doing safe flips. He couldn't even cut promos in Spanish.
Andrade tried but his English is sub par, Iyo, Asuka and Nakamura all became better bilinguists at a faster pace.
Escobar is shorter than Del Rio but if he can keep his nose clean, he can have a great upper midcarder career.
Dragon Lee is staying healthy so far, learning to work smarter, grinding to make his English better and knows he needs to sell to the kids.
