I feel like I really missed something here.
I'm sure Hunico isn't in danger of crashing and burning in the ring as Sin Cara, but did he improve to the point where people prefer him doing the Sin Cara gimmick as opposed to him just keeping the Hunico style? Hunico is okay as Sin Cara, but that's all he is. Okay. Hunico is awesome as Hunico.
As shitty as Mistico's run was, when Mistico was on he was ON and there was no mistaking the two when it came to their in-ring performances. I guess if the guy is scrubbed out enough people don't notice/care who is behind the mask...? Ehh, I guess I'm just expecting a whole lot of bland HuniCara performances.

Put Ricardo with Sin Hunico and just let him be Cara full-time, adapting the style to his own.

"Forget Sin Cara had a tattoo" will be right up there with "Kofi loses Jamaican accent overnight".
Hunico will then have to wear long sleeve shirts forever!

Good lord, just get rid of the character already. I swear, if they do Sin Cara vs Rey NOW, I'm going to get sick. We wanted to see Mistico vs Mysterio, instead they did everything except that. Now they want to keep this tainted character with stupid lighting and just put someone else under the mask? Why!? For f***'s sake WWE, just move on. They never had an opportunity to do Cara vs Mysterio. Ever since Sin Cara debuted they were trading places on the injured or wellness lists. I think the only time they were both active is when they were a tag team for 3 weeks before Rey blew his knee out again. Anyway, it has become painfully apparent that MistiCara has a terminal case of the yips and would be better off finding a new profession all together.

oh please. His attire is perfectly fine and the lighting came well after his debut To each his own I suppose, I personally think it looks silly. I could've sworn that he's had the mood lighting since his first match though. Edit: I should mention that the other versions of his attire looked really cool. I specifically liked the white version. can't post a link but just youtube Sin Cara first match

If Mistico is really gone from WWE, then looking back, I think his whole awful run of unintentional hilarity will have repercussions on how WWE does business in the future.
For the first time since WCW folded, WWE brought in a new guy and actively played up his past success in other promotions, didn't try to remake him in their own image, and hyped him up as a huge deal while letting him go out there and do his thing. And he was f***ing terrible at everything besides meme generation.
Fat chance of seeing WWE give another guy an opportunity like that for a LONG time.

Speaking of Zayn, I guess on NXT house shows they are toying with the idea of him doing the El Generico gimmick... but as El Local (he did put the El Local mask on but took it off in the Bo Dallas Invitational) Samuray Del Sol/Kalisto will be up soon. Fairly young, well built, fluent in both English and Spanish, flashy moves but not hard to work with in a WWE setting, and has a cool mask. As for Mistico, as I said in the other thread, the fact that they didn't put more emphasis on him learning English (though a very hard language to learn) and had him work with mostly guys who don't speak Spanish (short program with Chavo and Primo aside) didn't help. In the long run, he didn't help himself out but the whole start to his WWE career was botched (pun intended) Imo if you speak spanish learning english is not that hard, since still there is some base in latin. Is not like being spanish or english and trying to learn japanese But English isn't a Latin based language at all, outside of some common words.

And he was f***ing terrible at everything besides meme generation. Fat chance of seeing WWE give another guy an opportunity like that for a LONG time. Bryan and even Punk to a degree were brought in and had their work outside WWE promoted, hell, it was even a talking point in the Bryan/Miz stuff on NXT and their feud and neither were really changed from what made them successful outside WWE so I don't see WWE shying away from that if they think it makes sense to use. I think more where this will harm guys is WWE bringing them in without seeing them in a WWE setting first. Mistico to the best of my knowledge didn't do any dark matches or tryouts before getting signed, he was signed and put straight on the main roster based on his popularity in Mexico. It was his inability or unwillingness to adapt to WWE's way of working that caused him so much trouble and I think that will cause them to not sign people without sending them to Orlando for a tryout but I don't see it stopping them from using a guy's past if they feel it makes sense to use it.

So, Samuray Del Sol as Sin Cara? I hope not, Del Sol deserves to have his own thing.

Why are they blaming Mistico? They're the ones who put him in a mask with obscured vision and turned the lights out.
Not to mention that his last injury WAS CAUSED BY DEL RIO

You know, they could have an easy out here if they'd just signed El Generico instead of that Sami Zayn guy.

I honestly think it'd be hilarious if they put different people into the Sin Cara costume every week. We could have HornCara, KhalCara, the World's Strongest Cara...

Imo if you speak spanish learning english is not that hard, since still there is some base in latin. Is not like being spanish or english and trying to learn japanese But English isn't a Latin based language at all, outside of some common words. English is a Germanic language, particularly when it comes to grammar, but it is heavily influenced by Latin and Romance languages. I believe well over 50% of the English language is based on either Latin or a Romance language. So, specifically regarding vocabulary, it's closer to Latin and Romance languages than it is to German. You can't call it a Romance language, but you also can't say that it isn't Latin based at all.

That's kind of similar to what they were doing with the Blue Blazer just before Owen Hart died. I think Koko B. Ware and Jeff Jarrett wore the costume in an effort to prove it wasn't Owen, but it was mostly played for a laugh.
