WWE may have parted ways with Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde, the real Sin Cara, on Monday by informing him just a few hours before RAW. We're still waiting on confirmation of his departure.

Hunico will be working as Sin Cara going forward but may not be behind the mask permanently as there's already talk of bringing someone up from NXT to play the character.

WWE chose not to kill off the Sin Cara character completely because his merchandise has done well and there's a feeling that they have built up a character that pays into the colorful personality of WWE. The feeling is that the character didn't fail but the performer who played the character failed

.

 

 

So they basically own "him"?

They own 'Sin Cara' which they invented when the character debuted, yes.

He was Mistico in Mexico. 

They own most of the roster's characters.

 

So if Sin Cara is totally separated from M?stico, he can just back to his previous gimmick.

I wonder who gets likeness rights from the WWE games in this case.

WWE does. They own the character. 

Basically, if they changed the persons name when they came in, they own it.

Remember fake Diesel and Razor Ramon?

This week's final WWE Raw rating was a 2.65, which is down from the 2.93 rating the show took in last week. As we noted earlier, Raw averaged 3.541 million viewers this week, also down from 4.135 million the show took in last week.

 
This rating ties the lowest number of the year, as the 10/7 Raw, following the debut Battleground PPV, finished with a 2.65.

WWE has issued the following statement to ProWrestling.net regarding Sin Cara's status with the company:

 
"The original performer behind the Sin Cara mask remains under contract to WWE.  WWE will continue to invest in the character and retain it as part of WWE programming."

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
