Should Rey Mysterio hang it up?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Because the real Sin Cara is actually really good and was a massive draw in Mexico because of who he is and the character that he portrayed. The WWE just needs to explain the character better and let Sin Cara continue to feel around the WWE style.

Hunico should be given a shot, but it should be as Hunico. Cut the stereotypes and just make him a bad-ass dude who is amazing in the ring with a massive chip on his shoulder since every time he looks in the mirror he has to remember losing to Sin Cara. They should really have a career rivalry.

Drawing in Mexico doesn't mean anything here. At all. I get he's talented, but it's been over two years since he's signed, and we've gotten one feud with Hunico, and whole lot of nothing. Granted, that's a combination of both Sin Cara being injured often, and the writers likely not knowing exactly how to write him, but the point still stands.

I don't care how they try to explain it, if he can't talk, he's not going to connect. There's zero reason as to why anyone would care about him and his luchador ways if no one knows who he is and what he stands for. Giving a face a mouthpiece seems like a waste to me. The Sin Cara character will never be what they envisioned him to be when they gave out his contract unless he's given a mic and connects with the crowd. If he doesn't speak English and can't do that, he's wasting time and money flip flopping around the ring in gimmick lighting because no one will ever care.

The gimmick could be gold, and Mysterio could close the door on his career by passing the torch via mask versus mask, but if Mysterio is carrying all the mic work, or the match is just random, then it's going to fail and it won't mean a thing. Put Hunico, or someone else who can wrestle a similar style, under the mask, give him a mic and personality instead of a bland, faceless, non speaking hero who can only point and nod, and let them run with it.

Yes it does mean something. It means that Sin Cara can be plugged in and connect with audiences. This is why he was signed. Yeah, it's been two years. That's not really too long to learn an entirely new style of wrestling.

You can get people to understand the Sin Cara character through vignettes and hype videos. You have him tell stories in the ring. The mystery of why he never speaks becomes an intriguing character point and not a weakness. If you want to introduce a new masked character that is amazing on the mic, then by all means do it, but don't slip them into the Sin Cara role.
