#5 Original Sin Cara

A wasted talent

The original Sin Cara (Luis Urive) was wasted during his time in WWE. The fans had high expectations regarding him, but all of it came crashing down thanks to WWE’s bad booking decisions.

Before making it to WWE, Sin Cara had a solid stay in CMLL, one of the biggest promotions in Mexico. He was considered as one of the best Luchadors in the promotion and this is what attracted WWE.

However, due to one reason or another, Sin Cara struggled in the WWE.

The WWE style of wrestling was not something that suited him and this led to a string of botches. In turn, Sin Cara turned out to be a comedy character that no one took seriously and was finally shown the door.
