You know, the guy that was supposedly hired to come in and wrestle with Sin Cara so he could have an opponent that could handle his style?
You know, the guy that never even showed up in developmental nor dark matches?

There were stories back in 2011 about how Averno was losing his mask in Mexico and was hired by WWE to wrestle Sin Cara. This was reported by SuperLuchas or whatever and for a while people were wondering when the hell the guy was coming in. He never did.
For those who don't know the story

Indeed. The rationale was that since Sin Cara wasn't doing very well in-ring wise Triple H wanted to bring in somebody that he knew Cara would have no problems working with. And Sin Cara told them that Averno would be the best option since he had wrestled with him quite a bit when he was Mistico. Of course then Sin Cara got injured the first time which put the whole thing off. After that I think eventually they just gave up on Cara so they had no reason to bring Averno in after that.
I don't know if he was ever officially signed or not though.

I actually do remember Averno. Guy lost his mask and everything in preparation for his WWE debut, but as was said, that never materialized. It's a shame, because from the matches I've seen of the guy he's pretty damn good.

Averno going to WWE is the equivalent of El Zorro going to TNA

I remember, I was quite excited for this as I figured they'd get a lengthy program and more lucha's are always a good thing. I was convinced he was coming when he lost the mask and actually ended up looking kinda cool.

Averno is a pretty awesome wrestler.
That said, I'm happy he's not in the E. I like him far more within Lucha, and occasionally Japanese wrestling.

I was beyond hyped for Mistico getting into the WWE and the subsequent rumors that Averno was getting brought in to feud with them because I thought it would be huge. My friends still give me shit over how much of a bust everything turned out to be.

Vaguely. I don't think it would've saved Cara too much though. We're much better off with Del Sol/Kalisto.
