Outlook - Mr. Aguila was one of the hottest prospects in lucha libre that WCW didn't get and waste. Instead, the WWF snatched him up and he continued to hone his skills in their Puerto Rican territory. Though he tossed around some new names and looks, Essa Rios never got more then a brief push, mostly do to Lita. For those who frown upon Rios, he was the first full-blooded Mexican to earn a WWF contract. That aside, once released Aguila was able to go back to Mexico and continue his climb up the ranks. Though he is undeveloped in many ways, Aguila remains a dynamic luchador and a hot commidity.
