El Grande Americano defeated Rey Fenix

Rey Fenix ​​wanted to give El Grande Americano a foretaste of his own medicine at WWE Wrestlemania 41. Instead, an illegal metal plate cost him his wrestlemania -Debüt -Match.

On Saturday at the Wrestlemania in the Allegian Stadium, the biggest high-flyer in Pro Wrestling today came for the perhaps best Luchador ever and did his best to overcome the dark Americano. When Rey Mysterio was injured on the Smackdown this week, Fenix ​​was called a replacement of mysterio and seamlessly occurred to defeat the long-time arch enemy of Mysterios at the highlight of the highlight of one of the most controversial places of action on the way to the WWE flagship Pay-per-view value.

Luchador, known as El Grande Americano, is not a traditional luchador at all. Of course, the stereotype gimmick is shown by Chad Gable, one of the best pure wrestlers in all professional wrestling. However, the character was widely criticized, whereby some have wondered whether it represents a “disrespectful mockery of Lucha Libre”, a form of pro-wrestling, which typically connected to Mexico and are characterized by both his masked wrestlers and their high-flying in-ring style.

The presentation of El Grande Americano by WWE was invoiced to an even greater dispute in Pro -Wrestling circles when the company began, Gables character of “The Golf of America”. Although the WWE ultimately gave and the hometown charged in the Americano has withdrawn to the “Gulf of Mexico”, this changed little to change the negative perception of Gables Gimmick.

It is not unusual that WWE book morally questionable characters, and Gables El Grande Americano Gimmick has certainly reached his goal of giving mysterio, perhaps the best luchador ever, a heated rivalry that went in Wrestlemania 41. Because of the hatred of WWE’s fan base for the Americano Gimmick.

That was until Mysterio was injured at Smackdown and left many questions about how WWE would react to his absence. Enter Fenix, the latest top -class signing of WWE and maybe the heir, the mysterio appears as the most impressive Luchador by Pro Wrestling. And Fenix ​​appeared as well as they would expect, and delighted the audience with his arsenal from stunning movements despite the absurdity that this action surrounds.

But Fenix ​​lost his wrestlemania debut game just a few weeks after the debut in WWE, after Americano Schlau had placed a steel plate into his mask before blasting Fenix ​​with a devastating head button.

As Wrestling fans know, this was not the first time that WWE had a top-class star maskerade as a luchador for action purposes, and it will probably not be the last. But El Grande Americano Gimmick from Gable has a short shelf life, as it should cause the sheer ridicule and the incredible talent of the man who represents it. This was Gables first singles match in Wrestlemania, and yet it was under a mask when one of the most underestimated stars from WWE had earned better.

A little more than a year ago, Gable was one of WWE’s most popular baby faces and was persecuted to end Gunthers Historical Intercontinental Championship rule. His heel application worked out well at first, but Gable was never able to catch gold like himself and then switched to his current Americano Gimmick and played on RAW in the last episodes.

If there is a positive snack of what Gable did in this period, he picked up the gimmick with absolute ease and showed his ability to get something going. A special actor is needed to take over an absurd action, and yet Gable did it perfectly.

After defeating Fenix ​​at WWE Wrestlemania 41, WWE seems to be an Americano Gimmick at least a little longer. This is a head scratch because WWE has a handful of legitimate luchadores, including Penta and Fenix, which should get the spotlight and respect that they earn than the cream of the Harvest of Lucha Libre.

Instead, Fenix ​​lost the greatest game of his young WWE career, albeit under shady circumstances, while Americano achieved a wrestlemania victory.

And maybe that’s a sign that Americano stays here. For the good or for bad.
