Loss Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Again, they seem to be pushing the idea that Tito Santana is from Spain. This actually is a pretty decent vignette for repackaging a guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Tito gets a hero's welcome back home in Tocula. El Matador is Spanish for "The Killer," which always undermined this gimmick for me (aside from the fact that it's culled from a Lame Wrestling Stereotypes 101 textbook). The guys who fool around with (and yes, kill) bulls are toreros. This is the best of these vignettes but I can't fathom how this was really supposed to go anywhere.

Kevin Ridge Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Big celebration for Tito Santano. He's urned the respect of his people. Cake time! Amazingly nobody gets the cake in their face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 The cake almost takes a bump and is split down the middle. Best of these from a setting standpoint but still dumb overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Why are the people celebrating when Tito hasn't faced the bull in the ring yet? Isn't that the point of all this? For a last-ditch effort to repackage a guy who probably should have gone to Atlanta at least two years before, this isn't bad. But it turned out to be like Coach: an intriguing idea when first conceived that turned to dust when it was executed. True, Tito isn't the world's greatest wrestling actor, but I doubt anyone could have succeeded with this gimmick the way it was done unless the fans had never ever seen him before. I'm talking a Mexican version of Outback Jack or Hillbilly Jim. This wasn't nearly as insulting as repackaging the Iron Sheik as an Iraqi, which was worse in its own way than turncoat Slaughter given the fact that Iraq and Iran had just fought a war for nine years, but it still wasn't something Vince needed to be doing.
