It isn't a secret that if you sign with WWE that they're going to want you to suit up to whatever gimmick/persona that they need you for. I think Generico will do fine in WWE. I see no reason why he wouldn't. Bryan, Punk, Bourne, Ambrose, Black, and Cesaro have all done pretty well.

I agree to some extent but when a guy is known for and gets signed because of his gimmick and in ring work and then you strip them of everything and rebuild them then it's kind of pointless. My gripe with what the did to El Generico is this. He is a WORLDWIDE star. He built the Generico gimmick from the ground up and WWE could very well be dropping the ball with making him lose it. Granted I doubt he'd be able to use the BrainBustaaaaa but still kind of lame. Plus think of all the replica masks they could sell. On the other hand his gimmick may very well have kept him at midcard status when he could easily be a main eventer.
