As soon as I saw it unfold, I immediately shook my head and muttered "Damn it, Sin Cara. I mean, damn it!" What is going on with this guy!? I mean, clearly he's a talented wrestler. You don't become one of the biggest names in Mexican wrestling by being a pushover. But the WWE has been one train wreck after another for him! It's got to be something about the atmosphere or style of the WWE compared to what he's used to that it just throwing him so badly off of his game. I know the "unfocused" excuse is lame, but I'll bet there's a grain of truth to it. And if he's getting heat for it, it just makes it worse. I feel so sorry for the guy; he must be feeling so frustrated and discouraged right now. It's sad when a guy who is, deep down, capable of doing well has such a string of bad luck that embarrasses him so badly.  |

Ironically, it happened while wrestling another Mexican wrestler in the WWE. |

From the biggest star in Mexico to the biggest bust in WWE history.
Del Wilkes, Nathan Jones, and Kevin Thorn (in his Mordecai gimmick) can sleep at night now, that monkey is off their backs.
Chris Harris dodges the bullet because he really didn't get enough hype to qualify.

He quit because of a broken finger!? Stick him with Ryback and let them quit matches in hilarious ways.

To have a match stopped like that on live TV over a dislocated finger is an embarrassment. Sin Cara really has no business wrestling in WWE again.

Yeah, what a jerk. Not wrestling injured for my amusement.
Wrestling fans are too rough on people. Just because Mick Foley wrestled with a tooth in his nose doesn't mean he should have.

It's sad when a guy who is, deep down, capable of doing well has such a string of bad luck that embarrasses him so badly. I can imagine that the previous eff-ups are making him nervous on top of his confidence issues in the WWE style, which can't help. Also the language barrier could be stunting his growth a bit. Really, his entire WWE run has been one bit of bad news after another. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he was the one to ask for a release. |

There's a huge difference between wrestling with a serious injury and a broken finger. It seems unnecessary either way. Why risk more damage. I'm okay with less Alberto Del Rio on my screen huh? |

He injured his left hand, which means that if he continued the match, Del Rio would be working that arm to set up for the Armbreaker. That and every single Irish Whip could have risked further injury. It also would have limited his ability to grab the ropes or post with it, even further hindering the match.
That, and why take the risk? Could've been worse than they thought.

This man needs to stop wearing white. He was just trying to get it in one more time before Labor Day. |

With the way WWE is now with its 'safety policy', it wouldn't surprise me if wrestlers are told to tell the ref if they get hurt like that. Times are different in wrestling now. If HHH pulled a quad today theres no way he's doing anything but having the match stopped so you can't compare what would've happened 10 years ago. Or hell maybe Cara's just a wuss I don't know. Bret Hart dislocated his pinkie in the match with Ric Flair where he won his first WWF Championship. He reset the pinkie himself and finished the match.

When John Cena is working with a torn tricep, a guy breaking his finger and calling the match is gonna get some shit. Pro wrestling is a different animal. |

I understand where everyone is coming from in regards to working injured, but I have to ask if say Daniel Bryan does the same thing in a main event match he'd be expected to work through it, but if its a jobber it's okay to just quit?

Just put Hunico in the mask for God's sake. He played a better Sin Cara than Sin Cara does. No... no he didn't. As Sin Cara I thought he was pretty terrible, and thought he was miles better once he stopped trying the high flying lucha stuff and went to his more technical style that he uses. |

I don't think Bryan should. In fact he had a match stopped just a month or so ago on RAW. I get wrestling is a different animal, but it shouldn't have to be. I'd prefer these guys not ruin their bodies more than need be. |

Man, y'all are better than me.
I thought Sin Cara's injury was a work to get ADR over.

Did anyone else think of a visual of Sin Cara being broke financially wose after reading this thread title? The visual of Sin Cara making it rain in a strip club, drinking expensive liquor out of the bottle in the VIP section of a night club with his mask on, and having sex with highclass expensive escorts with his mask on is just too funny Attachments:

The gimmick is fine. The performer is just too injury prone. Find another Mexican guy with a similar style but a little more robust to play the character, and no one will know the difference. Hell, if they can get someone who can speak English, it would improve the gimmick

Well they may as well quit wrestling then, because almost every single one of these guys wrestles injured. It's impossible to prevent it no matter how much it's choreographed. If we're going to stop a match over a broken freakin' finger, then we're going to get a shitload of matches end in similar manners. I guess the idea of wrestling is to hurt your opponent...but not too much. They're only trying to cause ouchies and boo boos, whereas anything kaput or oogie is still prevented. |
