'''Rami Sebei''' (b. 1984) is a UsefulNotes/{{Canad|a}}ian {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er best known for his work for Wrestling/RingOfHonor and other promotions as '''El Generico.''' He debuted in 2002 in International Wrestling Syndicate in his native Quebec and made his American debut in Wrestling/{{CZW}} in 2004, and has competed for Wrestling/ProWrestlingGuerilla, Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}, Wrestling/DragonGate, Wrestling/DramaticDreamTeam, Wrestling/{{TNA}} (two dark matches in 2011) and many other promotions around the world since.

!!! "Los Tropes Genericos":
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: As Sami Zayn, it's Adrian Neville, who Zayn just can't beat for the championship. Zayn's abysmal track record concerning important matches and a flippant insult by Neville did such a number on his psyche that he declared that if he can't beat Neville for the championship at Takeover 3, he'll quit the company. [[spoiler: Zayn finally beat Neville for the NXT Championship at the event]]
* ArchEnemy:
** As El Generico: Kevin Steen
** As Sami Zayn: [[Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli Cesaro]], Wrestling/BoDallas, and Tyson Kidd.
** Kevin Steen has reared his head again now in NXT.
* BadassBeard
* BadassCape
* BashBrothers: with Kevin Steen
* BewareTheNiceOnes: As Zayn, he's a consummate face for promos: polite, humble and charming. Treat him wrongly, though, and he'll deliver a thorough beating in the ring.
* BigDamnHeroes: He, Kevin Steen and [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]] came out together to save [[Wrestling/SethRollins Tyler Black]] from Wrestling/JimmyJacobs's thugs and bring the Age Of The Fall to an end.
* CoolMask: As El Generico. Averted as Sami Zayn.
* CulturedBadass: Zayn seems to be playing to this trope early on.
* DanceBattler: During the Osirian Portal (Amasis[=/=]Ophidian[=/=]Escorpion Egipcio) vs. Team [=PWG=] (El Genrico[=/=]The Young Bucks [Matt and Nick Jackson]) match at ''CHIKARA King of Trios 2009'' Night I, he rolled out of Amasis' sunset flip attempt and started dancing, and was good enough that ''Amasis'' backed away from him.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Late in his 2010 feud with Kevin Steen, Steen stole his mask after a brutal double chains tag team match. When Generico returned to action, he had ditched his signature black and red attire for a stark black and white look, lost much of his playful antics and showed an uncharacteristic violence and aggression in the ring, even against opponents with no connection to his war with Steen. He would eventually gain his old mask and attitude back months later after exiling Steen from Ring of Honor.
* EccentricMentor: Wrestling/ColtCabana decided to mentor him on how to defeat Kevin Steen and Steve Corino
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first night as Sami Zayn in NXT, he defeated both Curt Hawkins and AntonioCesaro about 10 minutes apart from each other.
* [[EveryYearTheyFizzleOut Every Month (or Two) He Fizzles Out:]] Has unfortunately become part of his character arc lately in NXT, after repeated attempts (and repeated failures) to win the NXT Title...
** {{Determinator}}: ...and yet, he keeps coming.
* FinishingMove: "''Brainbustaaaaahhhhh!!!!!''"(Super Brainbuster onto the turnbuckle and sometimes on the Apron; more so as Generico); ''Helluva Kick'' (Big Boot in the corner), ''Koji Clutch''
* ForeignExchangeStudent: Billed this way in Dragon Gate.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: They mask it through [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY an alternate pronunciation]], but one of his finishers in NXT is called the ''Helluva Kick'', which looks like it should be (And in fact, ''has'' been on occaision) pronounced 'Hell Of A Kick'.
* IHaveManyNames: He has also wrestled as Stevie [=McFly=].
* IHaveTheHighGround: He won CHIKARA's 2011 ''Rey de Voladores''[[note]]Spanish for "King of Flyers"[[/note]] Tournament.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: One of his finishers in NXT, the "Helluva Kick", is prounounced "Heh-LU-Vah"
* JuxtaposedHalvesShot: He and Kevin Steen in promotional posters for ''ROH Final Battle 2012''
* {{Kayfabe}}:
** A tongue-in-cheek version. Even in shoot interviews will wrestlers (jokingly) refer to El Generico as Mexican.
** Many insist on the idea that Zayn and Generico are two different people. Most of all being Kevin Steen, who claims that El Generico was found dead in a ditch in Mexico.
* MoralityPet: For Kevin Steen
* {{Omniglot}}: Speaks at least three languages: English, French, and Arabic. The last was taken advantage of especially during WWE's Middle Eastern tour to the point of featuring Zayn in many of the tour's promotional packages.
* PartsUnknown: "[[ArtisticLicenseGeography Tijuana, Canada]]"
* PutOnABus: While it's joked that Generico left to take care of the orphans in Mexico, he really jumped to WWE.
* PowerStable: [=Tozawa-juku=], in Dragon Gate
* RealSongThemeTune: "''Ole!''" by the Bouncing Souls
* RedBaron: "The Generic Luchador"
* RuleOfCool: He and Samuray Del Sol were put in the main event of Evolve 14 despite both having losing records. Why? Because why let losses get in the way of cool?
* TagTeam: (in PWG):
** Cape Fear, with Quicksilver
** ''¡Peligro Abejas!'', with [[Wrestling/LondonAndKendrick Paul London]]
** 2 Skinny Black Guys, with Human Tornado
** Back where it all started in IWS, Team Photosynthesis with Beef Wellington.
* VersusTitle: ''EVOLVE 14: Generico vs. del Sol'', ''EVOLVE 15: Generico vs del Sol II'', ''EVOLVE 17: Generico vs. del Sol III''. Rule of cool indeed.
* TheVoiceless: In Ring Of Honor
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Kevin Steen, as they teamed for years going back to their IWS days. It remains to be seen what (if any) effect this prior history will have now that Steen has joined NXT.
** [[spoiler: and with Steen's debut at Takover 3, it's clear it's still this big time.]]
* WorthyOpponent: While Cesaro entered ''NXT [=ArRIVAL=]'' seeing Zayn as a nuisance, by the end of the match they had become this.
* WouldntHitAGirl: And if he does, he'll immediately regret it, even if its retaliation to a prior strike, such as Wrestling/ChristinaVonEerie smacking him for trying to call out Wrestling/LowKi at Evolve.
