Weeks prior to WrestleMania 27, WWE confirmed that they had come to terms of a contractual agreement with Mexican icon, Mistico to perform on the worldwide stage of WWE. Mistico is known for his legendary high flying prowess and his captivating sensational aerial maneuvers all over the world. From Japan to Mexico, worldwide, Mistico has been a staple to modern day Lucha Libre style wrestling. Cara has been a world renowned box office draw and the equivalent of what John Cena is to the American fans. Some believed it was only a matter of time until the masked crusader would be signed by the WWE. Soon enough, it happened and Sin Cara was born at a press conference at WWE’s headquarters in Mexico City.
The presence of Mistico in the WWE is due to one man, Triple H. Cara is the first talent signed under the heir to Vince McMahon’s sports entertainment throne and Cara has also been deemed, “the next Rey Mysterio.” With his aerial specialty and undeniable athleticism, Cara has undoubtedly shown hints of the early days of Rey Mysterio’s Lucha Libre presence in the United States. Fast forward a few months later and I’ve learned one thing….Not any masked luchador can replace Rey Mysterio.
