Sin Cara, AKA....
 
Mistico.

WWE just put up this article about him. Any thoughts on the new name?


Quote:

STAMFORD, Conn. – WWE today unveiled their latest Superstar signing, Sin Cara, formerly known worldwide as Mistico. The announcement took place today during a press conference in his hometown Mexico City, where passionate fans of all ages turned out to see their favorite performer become the newest addition to the WWE roster.

Having already forged a strong international fan following, Sin Cara, known for his high flying style and awe inspiring acrobatics, is expected to reach new heights of global success with WWE.

“Sin Cara is a tremendous performer who brings the crowd to its feet every time he steps into the ring,” said Stephanie McMahon, Executive Vice President, WWE. “With us, his stardom will only get bigger and brighter.”

Upon his signing, Sin Cara said, “WWE is the pinnacle of sports-entertainment. It is an honor and a thrill for me to be able to perform with the world’s best. Being a WWE Superstar will present new challenges, new mountains to climb and new competition. It is a new beginning and a new life. With that in mind, I have chosen the new name of Sin Cara in hopes to represent all the legendary Mexican masked performers and to carry the banner of their legacy to the entire world.”

His name is going to be "Sin Cara"?

(That's "Without a Face" in Spanish)

Xero 02-24-2011 05:33 PM

"The guy is known by this name all over the world. Let's change it."

Lock Jaw 02-24-2011 05:35 PM

Looks like a Power Ranger.

This will be Mysterio's replacement, I guess.

Aguakate 02-24-2011 05:37 PM

I haven't seen pics of him, but judging by the one in the article, he doesn't seem to big an Alberto Del Rio-type Mexican Wrestler. He looks small.

Well, that sort of makes sense I guess.

Apparently, his name change is to "represent all the legendary Mexican masked performers".

Well, they all wear masks, so they don't have a face because of the masks.

So "Sin Cara" it is then.

That's Killer spelled backwards.

Triple Naitch 02-24-2011 05:41 PM

I like his tights, but his mask won't work in WWE. He needs a new one with the mouth open.

James Steele 02-24-2011 05:45 PM

This obviously lead to Del Rio winning the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 27 and going on a huge dominant 2-year reign as they build up Sin Cara all the way to WrestleMania XXIX at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico in front of over 100,000 fans in which the great hero Sin Cara will finally defeat the evil Alberto Del Rio. Fireworks and streamers will fill the sky as the WWE ushers in a new era of purity and greatness. VIVA LA SIN CARA! VIVA LA RAZA!

Innovator 02-24-2011 06:32 PM

This is gonna hurt Mistico badly. Look what happened to Dos Caras Jr.!

If they keep him looking as he does, and with the name "Sin Cara", it probably will, 'cause he will look too "Rey Mysterio-ish" to fans.

Nicky Fives 02-24-2011 07:07 PM

JimmyMess 02-24-2011 07:12 PM

Without a Face eh...

If the Bellas bring him in for revenge on Daniel Bryan, that would be brilliant.

Smells like an instant success.

I actually like that idea.

MoFo 02-24-2011 08:08 PM

Never known a 'rookie' to be treated like such a big deal from the off. I mean a press conference?

Looks like he is going to be mega-pushed tbf.

I just think WWE did it because they believe Rey Mysterio will retire, and they will push Mistico/Sin Cara as the new Mexican "good guy".

Lock Jaw 02-24-2011 08:55 PM

Or just change his mask and claim that he is Rey Mysterio who has "been through an ordeal and come out changed".

Mr. C 02-24-2011 11:45 PM

CM Punk is cutting a promo in the ring. Song plays…pyro, Sin Cara comes from the floor (similar to Gangrel). Punk goes nuts. He can’t believe it’s HIM. Sin Cara walks calm and cool…stares at him. Punk, in shock, runs.

I can dream. Of course it won’t happen, but it could work.

What wouldn't it work?

Mr. Nerfect 02-25-2011 02:16 AM

I like this. The name change makes sense. He's representing all masked luchadors, so it's a name about masks -- how they take away the face. The way the WWE are making a big deal out of this signing makes me think he's going to get a big push out the gate. Post-WrestleMania, I'd expect Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara to win the WWE Tag Team Championship from whoever the champs are.

The WWE is apparently doing huge in Mexico, and bringing in Mistico and pushing him to the moon is not going to hurt matters. Alberto Del Rio vs. Sin Cara, in some ways, might be one of the biggest matches the WWE could run.

St. Jimmy 02-25-2011 05:20 AM

What's with the faggy mask?

Sixx 02-25-2011 07:18 AM

So Rey is leaving and we get his clone?

At least he dresses up as Spiderman.

That's pretty sweet.

Brigstocke 02-25-2011 12:06 PM

He looks like he's the best dirty little spot monkey I've ever seen in the highlight reel video up there.

Jordan 02-25-2011 01:25 PM

First of all, I totally support this choice as Mistico is obviously a huge deal in Mexico and I want WWE to get bigger and bigger. Second of all the name Sin Cara is MUCH better than Mistico in my opinion. Plus Mistico/Mysterio is a little similar. Sin Cara is a pretty sick name. This guy looks like he will be a lighting bolt for WWE, Sin Cara vs Rey Mysterio might be the next Eddie/Rey at Halloween Havoc at some point down the line.

Jordan 02-25-2011 01:26 PM

And stop ragging on the mask, it fucking rocks.

Ultra Mantis 02-25-2011 01:51 PM

I've never seen a wrestler perform such casual acrobatics, he makes it look completely effortless. Brilliant.

Looks more like Arachnaman to me!

Mr. C 02-25-2011 03:10 PM

I’ve been wanting another masked guy for quite some time now, be it a type like Sin Cara or another monster like Kane used to be, so needless to say, even on that aspect alone, this is pleasing to me. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a vignette air at WrestleMania.

Dave Youell 02-25-2011 03:12 PM

I'm excited, dude looks great

Brigstocke 02-25-2011 03:27 PM

The more I watch this better it looks, I'm loving the way he can perform a Hurricanrana but land on his feet.
