WWE Star Didn’t Want To Be Unmasked, Reveals What He Was Told Backstage

WWE

A former WWE star has revealed that they never wished to be unmasked on TV, recalling what they were told backstage afterwards.

In 2011, former WWE star Sin Cara (played by CMLL’s Mistico) entered into a program with a doppelgänger version of himself, played by Cinta de Oro, known as Sin Cara Negro

The feud ultimately led to a mask vs. mask match on the October 16 edition of WWE SmackDown, a match that was won by Mistico.

While Cinta would be repackaged as Hunico just a few weeks later, one key figure backstage apparently thought the wrong call was made regarding who remained under the Sin Cara mask.

Speaking in a new interview with Sportskeeda’s WrestleBinge, Cinta explained that WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson, was fighting for the outcome to be reversed:

“He (Místico) came back and then I became the heel Sin Cara, the black Sin Cara when we started the feud throughout live events and doing certain things and it culminated in November of 2011 in Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City.

“We had television, we had a SmackDown television there so… I remember there was a big meeting. They were trying to decide what was gonna happen in that match, right? Between him and me.

“If he was gonna stay with the name or I was gonna stay with the name or what was gonna happen and I just remember Arn Anderson, who was always very great to me, he told me, ‘I tried as much as I could. I’m sorry’ and I didn’t really understand what he was saying, right?

“In that moment. But then when they told me what was gonna happen, then I knew that he told them that they took the mask off the wrong person, the wrong Sin Cara.

“So, those were his exact words and to me, it made me feel great. I was very sad in that sense because I was gonna lose something that I really appreciated; the mask but I understood it was business.”

Despite losing his mask to Mistico, Cinta would need up donning the mask once again upon the current CMLL star’s exit from WWE in 2013.

Cinta would then remain in WWE until 2019, winning the WWE NXT Tag Team Championships alongside Kalisto as The Lucha Dragons.
