Call the Spot on the Card #3: Costumed WWE Characters

Posted by Anthony Mango Wednesday, October 15, 2014
Welcome to the third edition of CALL THE SPOT, where we present a list of five wrestlers and you must choose what place on the WWE Roster Hierarchy they should be put in: 1) Main Event, 2) Upper Midcard, 3) Midcard, 4) Jobber, or 5) Released.

The rules are that each spot must be filled and only one person can be in each spot, so no ties can happen, nor can anyone opt out. No matter how difficult it might be, you have to pick.

In honor of the Halloween season where everyone dresses up in costume, we decided to embrace WWE's latest fascination with their costumed characters by putting them in our sights and focusing on five different animals from WWE history.

ANIMAL COSTUMED WWE CHARACTERS

(The Exotic Express Bunny - The Swagger Soaring Eagle - Gobbledy Gooker - El Torito - Hornswoggle the Gator)

5) RELEASED = Gobbledy Gooker

This was one of the most ridiculous things WWE has ever done. Why they ever thought it could possibly be a good idea is beyond me.

4) JOBBER = Hornswoggle the Gator

I don't shy away from saying that I've disliked the Hornswoggle character for its entirety and that I am eagerly waiting the day he is released as I think almost every single segment with him has been a joke, but I'll give credit where it's due, as well. This guy finds a way to do a lot of different things in an entertaining enough fashion that he's stuck around. He's far less annoying when he's some extraneous joke as opposed to beating people, so that saves him from being released. Just barely, mind you.

3) MIDCARD = The Swagger Soaring Eagle

The Swagger Soaring Eagle was there around the peak time in Jack Swagger's career and it led to some laughs along the way. It was portrayed by Chavo Guerrero, whom I've always felt was a solid midcarder but nothing more than that, so it's fitting that this is the spot for the All American American American American's mascot.

2) UPPER MIDCARD = El Torito

He can move. I am not the biggest supporter of the whole "midget wrestling" thing, as it always borders on the line of insulting and stupid to either the audience or to the performers themselves, but El Torito does know how to wrestle pretty damn well. I would trust him to put on a better match with someone that could work with him than many others. At this point, I'd be more interested watching El Torito wrestle than Rey Mysterio, actually.

1) MAIN EVENT = The Bunny

That superkick was one of the best in a long time. Isn't that sad? The Bunny is putting on more entertaining matches than some people on the main roster, which should wake them up, as that shouldn't happen! In fact, The Bunny is more over than Adam Rose and an official member of my fantasy league team. Go Bunny!
