5. Sin Cara
The Sin Cara character might be considered one of the biggest flops in modern WWE history. While the original Sin Cara (a.k.a. Mistico) didn’t have a botch like The Shockmaster in WCW, he was a bust within his first year. The original Sin Cara had a number of poor matches and injuries before he was replaced by the former Hunico.
Unfortunately for the new Sin Cara, he was unable to perform at an acceptable level. Maybe there’s a curse on the gimmick or the WWE has just had a lot of coincidental bad luck. Either way, the second Sin Cara is likely going to be released for reasons beyond his overall poor performance.
The WWE’s new Cruiserweight Division has brought in a lot of new talents to the WWE. Between the Cruiserweight Classic, the new division and 205 Live, there’s a lot of international superstars who have joined the WWE roster. Names like Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik pretty much make someone like Sin Cara a little more expendable.
Some WWE fans might feel like this has been a long time coming. Maybe the current Sin Cara will be able to find work competing in Mexico or overseas. Plenty of failed WWE superstars have found success after completely reinventing themselves after departing WWE.
