WWE Bio

Having already forged a strong international following, Sin Cara, known for his high-flying style and awe-inspiring acrobatics, set his sights on reaching new heights of global success with WWE. The most popular luchador in Mexico became a welcome a huge acquisition by WWE, and debuted on Monday Night Raw the night after WrestleMania XXVII , April 4, 2011. A second-generation performer, Sin Cara (whose name literally means “without face”) began in Mexico at the tender age of 15 and has never looked back. With his roots firmly bedded in the art of lucha libre, he exudes charisma, agility and a deep love and loyalty for his Mexican heritage. In WWE, the soaring Superstar birthed a new legacy, wowing viewers around the world with spectacular displays of agility and airborne attacks. But in the summer of 2011, Sin Cara started to display a much more aggressive style in the ring. Soon after on SmackDown, he spoke for the first time in English and explained his actions, but more importantly, described himself as the “real Sin Cara.” The situation would only become more puzzling when the world learned that there was not one, but two Sin Caras in WWE! In the weeks that followed, tension grew between the dueling doppelgangers and following multiple physical exchanges between the two, the WWE Universe wondered which mysterious masked man was the actual Sin Cara. Ultimately, the grappler who stayed true to his original blue and gold hues stood tall in a climactic clash held in Mexico City, where the rivalry was rooted. In a Mask vs. Mask Match, Sin Cara defeated and unmasked his black hooded enemy, now known as Hunico. While the bad blood between Sin Cara and his archrival looks to be as permanent as El Ángel de la Independencia (Mexico City’s most recognizable landmark), the now red-and-white adorned warrior seeks to ascend the greatest heights in WWE—at altitudes with which he’s clearly most comfortable.

Breakdown

Playing as Sin Cara is a must for anyone opening the box on WWE ‘13 . Sure, he’s 5-foot-7. Sure, he’s 180 pounds. His move-set will blow your mind! He flips over his opponents on multiple moves, and securing the pin on a Tilt-A-Whirl Small Package is legendary. Attack from everywhere. Use his Outside Dives ability to run and Rope Flip to smash an unsuspecting opponent amid a taunt animation. He’s the one of the only Superstars with three 100 ratings. Every other rating is pretty mediocre, so utilize his strengths to overcome his weaknesses. He’s got a submission as a Finisher, but you’d better have damaged the arm pretty well to wager on using it with just an 80 submission rating. Keep the battle high-flying and speedy.
