History Wrestling / SinCara

* FinishingMove: 619 to La Mistica, a slingshot into an armbar like submission while he was in CMLL. In WWE he does the move without the 619(since Rey Mysterio) or transitioning into a submission(because of Alberto Del Rio) which makes it look odd. Also used to do the evolution in WWE, a top rope back flipping STO type move which was botched in his first match(actually Primo's fault that time but still).
* FollowTheLeader: WWE are hoping to emulate ReyMysterioJr's popularity with Sin Cara.

* PutOnABus: Thanks to his GameBreakingInjury.
** HesBack: Came back five months later.

'''Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde''' (born December 22, 1982) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, signed with WWE and appearing under the ring name '''Sin Cara''' (Spanish for "without face" or "faceless"). He is best known for his time in the lucha libre promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) under the ring name '''Místico''', where since 2006 he was the main [[{{Face}} técnico]] in CMLL and the biggest box office draw in all of Mexico. Místico is Spanish for "Mystic", a religious ring character who is the [[{{Kayfabe}} storyline]] protégé of the wrestling priest Fray Tormenta. Upon signing with WWE in January 2011, Urive was repackaged as Sin Cara.

** And maybe to a lesser extent. His WWE career up till his injury, which was far from botch free. This is due to him not being put through development system first to get used to the WWE style of wrestling or learn any English and was put on TV straight away.

* ArchEnemy: In Wrestling/{{WWE}}, Wrestling/{{Hunico}}

** Pre-WWE, Averno.

* IHaveTheHighGround

* DidntThinkThisThrough: There are rumors that all he did his brief stay in developmental was only to work out his elaborate entrance. What is clear is that not teaching him the language of the majority roster and fan base has turned out not to be for the better. He also seemed to have little grasp of the regional hype building style.

* NoSell: In his first WWE match, after being (accidentally) dropped on his chest from the top rope to the floor his amusing response is to angrily rise slide back in the ring and repeat the process.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Nearly and not too long into his WWE career for a supposed wellness policy violation, not helped by the fact Sin Cara did not even know what he had done wrong.

* StopHelpingMe: The basis for his feud with Chavo Guerrero, who was cheating in Sin Cara's favor.

* NeverLiveItDown: Sin Cara's a very entertaining luchador with a lot of impressive lucha libre styling...but it doesn't translate all that well to WWE-style wrestling. The IWC and apparently the WWE hasn't forgiven him for all the botching he's done.
** Anybody who's ever worn one of his masks he's wearing in WWE or ones like it will let you know it is hard to see out of those masks with a mesh on the eyes. The material isn't thin enough to see clearly through.

** Anybody who's ever worn one of his masks he's wearing in WWE will let you know it is hard to see out of those masks with a mesh on the eyes, since it is too packed together to see things clearly, and usually a different color.

* [[HolyShitQuotient HSQ]]: BookerT calls Sin Cara's aerial moves getting "caught in the lights." He's only exaggerating a little bit.
** Sin Cara's in-ring struggles as a singles competitor have been well-documented. So how did WWE respond? ''They put him in a tag team - with ReyMysterio.''

* NeverLiveItDown: Some people will just not forget the fact that his first couple of matches had some noticeable botches due to him getting used to the WWE wrestling style.

* TheVoiceless: Subverted. Sin Cara's voiceless most of the time due to his lack of English. There are a few exceptions:
