WWE news: WWE lies about who was the original Sin Cara to Mexican fans

There was controversy when Sin Cara left the WWE. The wrestler who portrayed Sin Cara was Luis Ignacio Urive Alvirde and wrestled in Mexico before he went to the WWE as Mistico. However, when he left the WWE, he said that he created the look and name of Sin Cara and planned on using it. After a few threats, he changed his mind and started wresting as Myzteziz in Mexico. While that looked to end the controversy, it might start again as PWS reported on Saturday that the WWE reportedly lied to Mexican fans about Sin Cara in promotions. The WWE continued to use the Sin Cara character even after Alvirde left the WWE. They simply called up the former Hunico, Jorge Arias, from NXT and put the costume on him, pretending that Sin Cara never left. More recently, Sin Cara won the NXT tag team titles. Well, WWE sent Arias as Sin Cara down to Mexico for a press tour and allegedly claimed that this was the “original Sin Cara.” With all the bad blood between Alvirde and the WWE over the Sin Cara name, it seems strange that the WWE would want to make these claims. It also seems strange that the WWE would simply lie about who is wearing the costume when Mexican wrestling fans, of all people, should know exactly who wore the Sin Cara costume over the years. Of course, Hunico and Mistico fought, both wearing the Sin Cara costume in the WWE a few years back. However, even at that time, the announcers called Mistico’s Sin Cara the “original Sin Cara.” The fact that they are allegedly calling Hunico the original seems like revisionist history. This is just another step in the recent controversy surrounding the WWE and their Latino fan base. With the way that they tossed out Sin Cara and then replaced him without a word, it seemed that they considered one Lucha wrestler was as good as any other. There is also the fact that Rey Mysterio has made claims that the WWE is holding him hostage with a forced contract extension and the firing of Alberto Del Rio for standing up to alleged racial insults. This is just another black eye for the WWE if true.
