Not to HHHate, but was Sin Cara the character so over that Hunico had to take the roll over? This comes off more as Trips trying to salvage his first acquisition. I don't see why not. the mask's a huge merch cash cow, may as well make use of the gimmick to keep it selling. I'm just surprised, given how well Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio masks sell, that they don't bring up more guys in masks. it's an old wrestling tradition I wish would come back. After seeing how Sin Cara classic crashed and burned I guess I can see their resistance. The Luchadore would have to both cross the language barrier and adjust to a completely different wrestling style. When guys like The Mexicools were on the roster, Rey Rey wasn't quite yet the cash cow he is today.

I still want him to be Sin Cara Negro, with his own wrestling style and not trying to mimic Mistico. I want him to still have Hunico's music. Respeto should not go to waste!

I give WWE credit on this one. They saw things the way I did. Keep the gimmick, but replace the performer. Good decision.

Does anyone actually know that Sin Cara merch sells well, or are you all just pulling these "facts" out your ass?
Because while you did see his masks often when he debuted, it's probably been months, if not even longer, since I've seen one in the crowd. And his shirts have always been crap, so you rarely see them either.

His mask is crap. They need to come up with something cooler than that.

When did Hunico get a comic book in Mexico? Well, he WAS Mistico before the other guy was. Except he wasn't, his being a Mistico doesn't mean he was the Mistico and certainly doesn't mean he deserves any credit for the other Mistico's success as a completely different character. I'd love to see people's reactions if they tried this with other workers. Darren Matthews unavailable to play the William Regal character? Wheel out Mr. Electricity Steve Regal and claim he's the same guy and credit him with all the things Darren Matthews achieved in WCW and the WWF/E, after all, he was Steve Regal first. Need Steve Austin for an angle? Bring out Lee Majors!

They can at least change that damn attire.
I would love to see Sin Cara in an undershirt along with some character development.
You could have Sin Cara do vignettes about being a regular family man, but doing all sorts of flips during activities like cleaning the car, reading the newspapers, cooking, etc. Then you could have a scene where he says all the bumps and bruises are worth the smiles he gets after providing for his loving family. Soon after, the camera pans to the family sitting down with masks on their faces.
It would be heartwarming and give reason for the crowd to pull for Sin Cara.

That sounds more like something you'd see in CHIKARA when it was around.

So when does Camacho get axed? Vince: Hunico, you're promoted to Sin Cara. Hunico: Sweet! Vince: And Camacho, you're promoted to Hunico. Camacho: Nice, and uh, who's gonna be Camacho? Vince: We don't need an Camacho. What was that, Vince?

They need a female masked wrestler. Sell loads of masks to little girls.

The funniest thing to me is that Clasico Sin Cara apparently didn't get the memo. He posted this pic about a week ago.

But who will play Hunico now? Charles Robinson. Not to get political, but another example of a white man taking jobs from hardworking latinos.

This is usually the part where I post a picture of Kalisto with no text to accompany it but it's Christmas and I'm lazy so f*** it.

I'm pretty sure the mask sells because kids like masks, and nothing to do with Sin Cara. They could probably bring up a high flyer from NXT, give him a cool looking mask and within a few months it would be a huge seller.

I still don't get why people were saying that Hunico might not be the new Sin Cara for long and that it may be temporary.The man has a tattoo. How would WWE be able to explain having another new Sin Cara without that tattoo. Tattoo removal?

And his shirts have always been crap, so you rarely see them either. Not to mention he has next to no merch available on WWEShop. Aint exactly getting the random wacky stuff that Punk and Cena do. A Sin Cara gnome needs to happen.
