Sin Cara may soon be released and could return to Mexico

According to Pwmania.com, promoters from AAA and CMLL believe that Sin Cara will soon be released from his WWE contract.

If this ends up being true, Sin Cara's tenure with WWE will be deemed a failure. He will go down as another wrestler who just wasn't a fit with Vince McMahon's company.

The move would be beneficial to both Sin Cara and WWE.

Sin Cara came to WWE with hype and momentum. He'd been a top draw and major star in Mexico since his debut as Mistico in 2004.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter awarded him their Best Flying Wrestler honor in 2006 and 2007 as well as Wrestler of the Year in 2006.

With Rey Mysterio's career tailing off, WWE seemed to have found his replacement.

Things haven't worked out that way. Sin Cara's short career with WWE has been hampered by his style not translating to WWE rings.

He's quickly gained a reputation for being a botch artist?a far cry from his respected position in Mexico.

Injuries and suspensions have further slowed his ascension up the WWE ladder and left a bad impression in fans' minds.

WWE fans familiar with his work as Mistico keep hoping for that megastar to appear?to tear out of the fog of disappointment Sin Cara has been trekking through.

Releasing Sin Cara would allow him to return to a country, a fanbase and a wrestling style that is far better for him. Certainly his paychecks will be smaller, but being beloved over being booed is valuable in and of itself.

WWE is a special brand of wrestling. Not every great wrestler can find a home here.

Sin Cara's reputation is so sullied here that he may never convince WWE fans that he's worth a roster spot.

Meanwhile, he could easily return to the freewheeling style of Lucha Libre without missing a step.

WWE needs to admit that the Sin Cara experiment has been a failure and allow him to return where he is appreciated and can thrive.

If it's true, then fare thee well to the most botch-prone wrestler to step in a WWE ring since Sabu.

It's also a black mark against HHHs rep as someone who recommends who to sign. Word was that Sin Cara was his first high-profile decision.

You're right there...

Sin Cara on way out. Good job Triple H. Great judge of talent and a great waste of time and money. Jim Ross can judge talent you know....

I'm sorry, but WWE should have taken a better look at Sin Cara or had him prepare more for the move to the US/NA style of wrestling/ring/whatever. It isn't Sin Cara's fault per se, nor do I think he's some sort of botch machine. I mean, check out some of his matches on Youtube, the guy is AMAZING. And I don't think I ever saw him miss a move or screw anything up in any of those.

It probably doesn't help that he doesn't (didn't?) speak a word of English when he came to the WWE. Not being able to convey by words in a sprt/arena that is very fluid and dynamic must make things incredibly hard for everyone involved. I for one would love for him to stay in WWE, but they have to give him a mouth piece. Also, screw it, pair him with Rey Rey.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
