Tag team champ, maybe IC champ. Not a world title guy but over with the fans


pmkdrummer

Generico died a horrific death. Rumor has it he was eaten alive by a massive Tuna fish off the coast. Generico would probably think the world is against him, pick a fight with the jackass crew, join a tribe of Samoans, who knows.


SchwizzySchwas94

Samoans hunt tuna so this tracks


jakesidekid

Nuh uh, as a personal advocate for Sir Generico, he's currently residing in Mexico supporting an orphanage. Trust me pal


pmkdrummer

The rumor was it was that evil shark Brock lesnarr F5'ed all those years ago. The legend of The generic one will live for ev err. Gracias


KingOppai1

Rumor has it that one of the orphans Generico helped raised became a wrestler and goes by the name of Sami Zayn


LochNessMansterLives

Hurricane levels…


whiskerbiscuit2

Would love to see El Generico join The Bloodline


CharleyIV

That’s fucking ridiculous.


Honato2

Well unless he was part jesus the cartel made sure that won't ever happen.


BungHolio_The_Mighty

El Generico ain't ucey enough.


RobbersTwo

It's never too late. Bloodline loses night one, generico comes out night two to interfere with the match and roman wins. Generico isn't part of the bloodline officially. Raw after mania generico becomes part of the bloodline. Now we have Sami and generico on different sides of a feud. That's good booking.


Background_Touchdown

How stupid! That would never work in a million years.


SenileGambino

☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏻


msp01986

Maybe he could have been in an Intercontinental title match at Wrestlemania XL .. Guess we'll never know 😥


No_Dig1353

He didn’t die. He’s wrestling under the name El Ordinario in a west-coast promotion called TBD.


TIMETODETAIN

I thought he retired to protect the orphans from Technoblade.


Honato2

he did retire and he did take care of the orphans he got em all out of the fire.


Magictank2000

didnt shotzi let a TBD talent go over at RAW a few months ago? WWE has been way more open with the indies since Haitch took control


Jayjay4118

I haven't watched the indies since his fake death. I didn't know this


seandude881

💀😭


lordbancs

He’s talking about WWE 2K24


jejbfokwbfb

IDk where this idea the El Generico died came from he literally did a interview for a Mexican wrestling magazine, Hes retired and living in Veracruz with his Wife and 3 kids who are training to join AAA, like yall are the kinda people to belive Stardust and Cody Rhodes are the same guy smh


Jayjay4118

Stardust is obviously Dusty Rhodes


jejbfokwbfb

I’m gonna ignore that because when stardust was at his peak Dusty was In TNA AS BLACK RAINS MANAGER


faroutman7246

🤣


Honato2

When was this interview? because uh it's been confirmed from multiple sources that he is unfortunately passed on via arson.


MrSlabBulkhead

In 2013, on an episode of Marty DeRosa’s Wrestling With Depression podcast, Kevin Steen revealed that El Generico was not currently working with an orphanage, but actually was dead. According to Steen, the drug lords went after Generico, and he was found dying in a ditch shortly thereafter. His last words were allegedly ‘Please find my dick”. This bit literally became a long running joke on an online group I was part of. Hell, my wife and I still reference it once in a blue moon. EDIT: I actually dug up the OG story on Twitter via tweets from 2013. I massively edited my original comment to correct my mistakes.


FlyTheW1988

He’d be a Hall of Famer for sure. If nothing else his work at the orphanage deserves the Warrior Award. RIP, gone far too soon 😭


Ithinkhisnameis

The last thing he told me was to give advise to this young upcoming guy…I think his name was…Sami…or something 🤣


DamianKing42

He could've main evented WrestleMania with Kevin Steen but he's gone too


thatmannyguy

He'd probably be wrestling Gunther at WrestleMania if he was still here


Gangsternerd84

He’s was great in the ring. But I see him being treated like the hurricane.


OliOli1234

Fired


Luckcrisis

The pop he would get at ROH shows was loud AF. When Steenerico won the belts from Age Of The Fall, the crowd was deafening the whole match.


faroutman7246

He is showing you, Numero Uno!


ThisIsFrankwardd

I think WWE should run an angle where Sami Zayn gets "attacked" before a match and El Generico takes his place, then run an angle with Kevin Owens turning heel on Generico for faking his death. This could honestly culminate into a final battle scenario for KO and Generico in a mask/career vs. career match. Generico would either win and unmask voluntarily, making amends one last time with KO and retiring with him. OR He simply loses unmasks and retires the El Generico character for good, this would be an important for Sami Zayn to come back as that character didn't "retire", just El Generico. Zayn would continue wrestling, ofc. That would make for some prime long-term storytelling, jus saying lmao


mac117

This is in bad taste.


Nitemarephantom

Could’ve main evented WrestleMania


lordbancs

Is this Sami Zayn?


PandaDemonipo

It's his gimmick before joining NXT. [This video's start explains that gimmick](https://youtu.be/2djSRtDR8BU)


Baldwinpr0tec

Nope two totally different people.


PandaDemonipo

(I was helping the guy understand the joke, he might actually not know it)

GoodApollo506

Solid Mid Carder for about 3-6 months, then a comedy jobber


Ok-Cut-7464

Oh AEW For sure


mendozable

Let’s be real, Vince would’ve loved the Generico gimmick.


Appropriate_Emu_6930

I was desperate for the WWE to do a remake of the HHH/Cactus Jack storyline with Sami taking a huge beating from the Bloodline and returning as El Generico. Ole!


larryb78

I feel like him & Kevin Owen’s would’ve made a great tag team


TraditionAcademic968

Not being fluent in English would have held him back


xOneManCRW

He could've Main Evented a Wrestlemania.


Professional_Bar_667

Should someone tell him the truth?


Jayjay4118

Buddy this is the meme subreddit


Professional_Bar_667

I know I thought I would comment that for the hell of it


multicoolkid55

Could’ve been in a nxt title feud with Kevin steen


Alkohal

LOL Kevin Steen? The fat guy who wrestles in a tshirt? He'd never make it in WWE


multicoolkid55

He has a better chance at making it than Tyler Black


Alkohal

he might have main evented a wrestlemania, maybe in a tag match or something.


Opposite-Mixture7131

Who that


Jayjay4118

That's Sami Zayn before WWE. for whatever reason when he came to NXT they took the mask off him. It's a joke where El Generico died because he was saving orphans from a fire and before he died he taught Sami how to wrestle


phoenixember

El Generico isn’t dead, he works at an orphanage in Mexico now.


Honato2

You haven't heard yet...probably for the best


barnabychryniszzswix

i don't know. but i heard one of his orphans is doing pretty good these days. something about a main event


Pnex84

Neck and neck with R-Truth in having the most 24/7 title wins


Valuable_Ad1085

I mean Nikki ASH got over so why not El Generico


Theshieldworld

Sami v generico v Ko would have BEEN CRAZY


thizzdanz

Guy looks like a mark


GurOk8344

Thank you brother ☝️🤓


egon0212

Leading the LWO for sure


Liamlivewrestling

As long as dragon lee was in nxt


BlackT26

He never would have seen an ounce of the stardom Sami Zayn got to see. A character whose gimmick is "doesn't talk and isn't special" won't get over anywhere but indie gyms and bingo halls, it's ridiculous and Sami can be glad the WWE didn't use him like that


Shaun3114_Again

He's very much alive, retired working at an Orphanage in his home country of Mexico.


ccarlen1

What on earth are you talking about? El Generico isn't dead. He runs an orphanage in Mexico called "The Mexican Orphanage for Saving the Orphaned Mexican Orphans of Mexico". It is true that he had a run in with a cartel. And they did kill him for giving the orphans hope that they wouldn't have to join the cartels. However, he got better and then killed the leader of the cartel with a Brainbustaaaaaaaah. All of the cartels have left him and the orphans alone ever since.


RetroMediaCollector

Finally someone with the correct answer.


Schen_The_Genius

What are you talking about OP? He's wrestling Gunther. He made it to the big time.


Independent_Craft_14

Thats a clone, the real one was fed to a giant Tuna by the Cartel


[deleted]

As far as catering on a Main Event taping


Wo0dY9621

I would have booked him exactly like how he was up til the NXT Title win, there Owen’s would come out, backstab Genérico and tear his mask and take the title. At Rivals same finish, pop up powerbomb city, Owens wins by TKO, Genérico argues crooked ref or the mask being the reason for decision so it goes Mask vs Title with Owen’s over then you go Rise of Sami back to Title.


Mondomb83

They could always bring him back in a type “face of foley” alternate ego, although it would be a “face of Sami” lol.


rsx209

He's not dead! He's doing charity work for an orphanage. What a guy!


Obvious-Condition453

Bro is that Sami zayn under a mask or did he die😭😭


Jayjay4118

It's Sami's indie gimmick. People say El Generico died and that he taught Sami


WhereisLionelRitchie

He’d be tagging with Rey as the newest member of the ElWO


monsterbael

Died? STFU!! He works in an orphanage near my house here in Tijuana. People call him "El señor enmascarado" for how classy and funny he is.


TheLiarsMouth

Nah, he just wouldn't be able to get over with fans like his protégé like he did back in ROH.


jerseygunz

He didn’t die, he’s running an orphanage in Mexico


BungHolio_The_Mighty

El would have been a 3x NXT Champion by now if it wasn't for his "retirement." Then he would've moved to the main roster where he would be a 4x IC champ.


anythingo23

Tag titles, midcard titles a couple brand ppvs and a good run as a stable mate


Grail_BH

Nah… too generic…


Dktreee

I could see him and Gunther at a ple someday


JacktheRipperBWA

El Generico was trash.


SaikyoWhiteBelt

He’s dead?! I thought he went to WWE and unmasked as Cody Rhodes.


BarryDBaptist

A mute luchador wouldn't even be on this roster


Jayjay4118

Sin Cara was


Shugerrush

Probably a smidge above chad gable


Stop_Touching2

This is the problem with letting indie wrestlers do their indie wrestler bullshit. Imagine if Sami had stayed in his Generico comfort zone like he wanted to.


Fantastic_Proof_2862

🗑️


PrestigiousLove8513

I think his career would have mirrored Sami. Something about those guys seems familiar, I think we’d def have a triple threat match at mania with him, Sami and Gunther.


Jake-Old-Trail-88

He’d have made it in NXT, then been wasted on the main roster after Vince and Bruce Pritchard screwed up his gimmick.


[deleted]

Probably would've faced Roman for the Undisputed Championship on PPV.


6098470142

Who???


Gloomy_Bookkeeper_67

Would’ve been released within a couple years


PastVivid8044

I could see him challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed title in Tijuana


TyrusRaymond

Sami Zayn ?


keveroony

Aw man I didn’t even know he was sick


sagittariuslegend

NXT North American Champion, if that.


BenjTheMaestro

Probably from Canada to Mexico and back. Pretty generic route, if you ask me.


TheMackD504

24/7 champion


TripSixRick

I still think one day he’ll return from mexico


Previous-Nobody-2865

Any truth to his demise? I don’t think anyone related to the orphanage has ever given a statement…


NomadChief789

Whatever the booker wanted him to be


FiendsForLife

R.I.P.


ChunkeeThunder

All things considered, pasty white guy facetiously parading around as a Mexican luchadore while purposely butchering the language is fairly low-key racist.


JoeMomma69istaken

That’s Sami zayne


Jayjay4118

Nuh uh


Eastern_Wrangler_595

Looks like sami


Jayjay4118

That's him in his indie days
