One Sin Cara to rule them all

[Mr. C]

Before debuting Sin Cara on TV, WWE mentioned on their website that he used to be Mistico in Mexico.

Company sources say developmental talent Jorge Arias (aka Hunico) will exclusively portray the Sin Cara character going forward. WWE wants to maintain the character since its been very popular among kids and in merchandise sales.

I really hope they aren’t this foolish. If Sin Cara isn’t Mistico, he isn’t interesting. He’s just another luchador.

Unless the rumors of WWE trying to acquire the Mistico ringname from CMLL are true, and they do plan on doing a Mistico vs. Sin Cara match. Eventually, Theodore Long realizes that “Sin Cara” is an imposter and searches for the true Sin Cara, who Long says hasn’t competed since Money In The Bank. This leads to a match at Vengeance in October featuring Mistico vs. Sin Cara, both wrestlers wearing identical costumes, but Mistico wears gold and white while Sin Cara wears blue and gold. Mistico performs a moonsault sideslam before getting the victory and starts wearing gold and white from now on.

Disagree. Yes, to people like us, I'd guess some of us would have a bigger hardon for him because he's Mistico. But to the vast majority, he's a guy that does flippy spots in the ring, points and has a cool mask/attire. Hunico does it just as well, arguably better than Mistico in the WWE world.

He's just as over now as he was when he was Mistico. There is honestly no point to having Mistico under the Sin Cara mask if someone can do it better right now.

Is he "just another luchador"? I don't know, the Sin Cara character is over in the WWE world. Luchadors rarely get as over as he has in WWE. I can honestly only think of Rey. If he's this over and "just another luchador", they should probably invest in more "just another luchadors".

Who cares if Hunico does it better than Mistico or just as well? There are luchadors better than Rey Mysterio. Does that mean they should fire Mysterio, hire another guy, and call him "Rey Mysterio?" Mistico IS Sin Cara, plain and simple.

Hunico is good, but I don't think that's a reason to fire Mistico.
