Any wrestling fans who still haven’t seen this should really check it out! It’s not only a great song, and a completely wacky video, but a good example of how big Sin Cara was in his pre-WWE days.
As Mistico, Cara was a megastar in CMLL and a huge draw. You could pretty much call him the John Cena of his era in Mexico, although much more beloved in his prime and you could argue a bigger money generator. While WWE tell a lot of little white lies, when they talk about what a huge deal Sin Cara was in Mexico, they aren’t lying. He was something of a cultural phenomenon. This video, which was also his theme song, stars Mistico as himself and the exploits of one adoring female fan. Be sure to check out the big finale, a moving scene where they kiss… without taking off his mask.
I was just thinking about this because of more reports that Mistico has heat on him in WWE for being big headed and arrogant. While no one likes to work with a pompous asshole, there’s no denying that he was a pretty big deal back home and does deserve his share of respect. Check it out.
While this was probably not his fault, or Alberto’s for that matter, and it was just a split second mistake - Sin Cara could probably have done without this.
Reports from last week noted that Sin Cara once again has heat on him backstage for “walking around like he’s a star” as well as for a sloppy match with The Miz on Tuesday, which had to be heavily edited for air on Friday.
I actually went to Smackdown, they were here last week. I saw [Sin Cara] backstage. And I can always tell if a wrestler’s happy, if they’re being fucked with; you can always tell. All these wrestlers always wear it on their face. And you could tell that he was like… kinda sad. And I asked him, I goes; ‘so uh… what match are you?’ And he just goes ‘I’m on that fuckin’ NXT.’ So you knew he wasn’t happy.
