Should WWE replace the first Sin Cara with the new guy?
 

For those that don't know by now, WWE is evidently replacing the original Sin Cara with someone else under the mask (supposedly Hunico) while the actual person under the mask finishes serving his suspension. Considering there were rumors going around that WWE wasn't going to bring "Sin Cara" back, do you think they'll release the first guy and keep Hunico under the mask instead?

Honestly, they can, and if he can work a similar style but better mesh with WWE's he absolutely should.

Honestly, he probably should either way. Mistico has been a complete and utter mess thus far. At the very least they should send him down to FCW as "Sin Cara II" or some shit for a while as this Sin Cara stays on the main roster.

The character is what draws. As long as they have similar styles (and since this guy has played Mistico in the past, he must) there's no reason to keep around someone who is going to cause WWE problems, in ring and/or out of the ring. The new guy will probably be a shitload cheaper, too.

I don't see them doing this since it's one of Triple H's first finds. If he comes back from this and keeps botching/failing wellness tests I could see him being released before the end of the year.

This one's easy!

They'll bring back the original Sin Cara for an "Evil Twin" angle. He'll come out and poit at the new Sin Cara in an accusatory way and the audience will be expectd to fill in the blanks.

I don't know if you were being sarcastic... but I like this idea.

They should have Hunico play Sin Cara and then also play a heel so when he's the heel someone else is Sin Cara but when he's not the heel he is performing as Sin Cara and do it like that forevers.

WTF what a piece of shit idea.

FUCK U!

I really don't care to be honest.

Mistico's problem was the expectations given to him were too huge from the start combined with the short period of time in FCW to adjust to the WWE style which led to any mistake, big or small, making Triple H looking bad and him rushing certain moves instead of being more relaxed or calm for his matches.

Hunico doesn't have that huge expectation so he can be more calmer and relaxed which is helping him a lot as well as having more time to adjust in FCW. Having him as a backup also gives the WWE a fall-back plan just in case Mistico really can't adjust to the WWE style but the company still wants the Sin Cara character to replace Rey in the future.

How well did this work for TNA with Suicide?

Mistico is a way better wrestler than Hunico, so I hope not.

Kevin Nash should be the new Sin Cara. Who could tell the difference?

i'll wait until i see this new guy for myself

I find it amusing that we are using the term "Sin Cara character", what with him having no character and all.

His character is the mask, the lighting and the trampoline entrance.

I don't like Sin Cara that much. He's like a poor mans Rey Rey and I don't really like him much. Any Mexican rassler can be Sin Cara as long as they do the flying burrito.

Whoever botches the least in the ring wins

It worked okay honestly, believe there ended up being three wrestlers who played Suicide.

What's Spanish for botch? That should be his name, just put el in front of it.

El Botcho

Physically Epico looks more like Sin Cara then Hunico does unless he's lost some weight since this match was done:

Perhaps more importantly, when are they gonna replace Ezekial Jackson with someone better?

Why don't you just come out and say that he should also use a zipline for his entrance at the next PPV? :shifty:

When Ahmed Johnson's son joins the WWE.

I Was about to say that right before you posted it but I figuered I'd just get hate cause I know how you guys feel about Owen.

Jokes are Jokes but Owen in my opinion was beyond a wrestler.

lots of memorys from the Bret/Owen feud when I was a kid... All my friends liked Bret but I wanted Owen to win and WM so bad when I was kid.

I really enjoyed whoever was playing Sin Cara on SmackDown! this week. The trampoline entrance looked smoother, his offence was crisper and he even seemed to get a better crowd reaction than the character used to (although that could have just been off the return). Also, Tyson Kidd was the opponent. Kidd has had a great showing against the original Sin Cara, too.

Personally, I don't really care. I agree with Xero, that from a business standpoint, it'd probably be cheaper and more efficient to use the guy they already have had signed in developmental for a couple of years to do the job. You'll get a guy who has already worked with a lot of the WWE roster, knows how to work the WWE style, and most people won't even be able to tell the difference.

Down the track, you can bring back the original Sin Cara to even feud with him. I honestly would not mind it. When the WWE does imposter angles, they usually suck -- but I don't think they've tried it with luchadors yet.

Hunico as Cara > Mistico as Cara. Mistico as Mistico > Hunico as Hunico. Any questions?

Who is better, Mistico or Mystico?

I like how Booker T was saying "hes put on more muscle" and "hes added moves to his repetoire" despite the fact he was supposed to be out with an injury..

:y:

Hmm. So I liked how he showed a little intensity during his entrance and after the match. But I'm not sure if I prefer it. He came off with more mystique before when he wasn't getting really into it. But I can see how the intensity will give him more of a crowd connection. I'm pretty torn right now. I just want a Real Sin Cara vs. Fake Sin Cara feud now.

They should replace Sin Cara with.... SKIP SHEFFIELD

Skip Cara

Answer is no. They'll look too phony.

I am fine with getting rid of Sin Cara or the guy under the mask. I understand that he is working under great odds such as wrestling Americans without knowing english, wrestling in a new company and learning the companies style on the fly but he has never yet impressed me. If the guy does become good and fun or whatever, then great.

I am all for WWE using another man under the mask but I am not ok with this new man doing great, making the fans fall in love with him and then replacing him with the old guy. In this senario basically the old sucky guy would steal the work of the new great guy, don't like it.

If they replace him with a new guy perminately, then go for it.

I am of the opinion that it is ok to reuse SOME gimmicks. Black Macho was enjoyable and I think with the right talent that it is ok for a new wrestler to inherit an old wrestlers gimmick.
