WWE Should Use Los Locales as a Full-Time Tag Team

The Doctor Chris MuellerNov 3, 2013

Tyson Kidd and Ricardo Rodriguez are both very capable Superstars who have nothing to do right now. WWE has used them as a jobber tag team for Los Matadores on a couple of occasions, putting them under masks and calling them Los Locales.

The funny thing is that the jobber team could end up being just as, if not more popular than the team they were designed to job to if booked properly.

Kidd and Rodriguez both have the ability to put on an exciting match, and their luchador styles make them exciting to watch.

Ever since breaking away from Alberto Del Rio and then from RVD, Ricardo Rodriguez has had no screen time, but Chimaera could bring him newfound success.

Chimaera is the persona Rodriguez used under his mask on the US independent scene and in WWE's former developmental territory, FCW.

Rodriguez might not have the typical build of a high flyer, but he has shown that he possesses what it takes to be a good in-ring performer on several occasions.

As Rodriguez he has been known as somewhat clumsy, but when he gets under the mask he is just as versatile as anyone in the ring. He can mat wrestle, fly off the turnbuckles and sell moves from his opponents like a pro.

Tyson Kidd is the other man under the masks in Los Locales, and this role might be just what he needs until WWE finds a way to bring him back into the fold as himself.

Kidd is uber-talented, but WWE has never really known what to do with him. He can have a five-star match under the right circumstances, but his charisma never reached the same level as his wrestling ability.

Keeping him under a mask and pairing him with Rodriguez gives him something to do, it lets him show off his in-ring talents and it certainly broadens WWE's character base.

The addition of more defined characters in recent years has brought WWE back to a way of doing business that we first saw popularized in the '80s.

WWE used to be a vast landscape of colorful characters that just so happened to be wrestlers. You had clowns, garbage men, pig farmers, strippers (both male and female), rappers, policemen, bikers and a lot of people wearing masks and face paint.

Then the Attitude Era came in at the end of the '90s, and suddenly everyone wanted to be "cool." Nobody wanted to be anything but a wrestler and a tough guy, and for a while it seemed as if WWE was made up of a bunch of people who didn't really have a gimmick, just a personality.

The past few years has seen more and more gimmicks return to WWE, and a tag team of masked luchadors would be the perfect addition to the list and would expand the tag team division ever further.

WWE doesn't even have to put the titles on them. Just having another tag team who can put on exciting matches would continue to elevate the division the way it has been recently.

Some members of the WWE universe have already shown support for Kidd and Rodriguez as Los Locales on Twitter, and we all know how much WWE uses social media to decide what they do and what they don't these days.

Tyson Kidd and Ricardo Rodriguez have too much talent to be wasted as jobbers, and WWE may have inadvertently discovered the perfect way to use them with this tag team.

They're talented, they're exciting and they're different from any other tag team in WWE right now. There are a lot of reasons why Los Locales could work as a full-time tag team.

What do you think? Should WWE use Los Locales on a regular basis, or should they just keep Kidd and Rodriguez on the sidelines?
