10 Famous Wrestling Gimmicks That Were Actually Inherited

10. Sin Cara

When Mistico signed with WWE in 2011, the wrestling world was abuzz with hype for the Mexican superstar. Having made quite the impact in CMLL, a lot was expected from Luis Urive when he made his highly anticipated arrival in the US.

Debuting on the 24 March edition of Raw, it became apparent that the incredibly high expectations for Mistico - now dubbed Sin Cara - were almost impossible to meet and it was soon clear that the hugely anticipated arrival was becoming a huge let down.

After a number of failed pushes, WWE quickly came to the realisation that the Latin luchador wasn’t all that they had hoped for, and Sin Cara was released in March 2014. However, despite the departure of Mistico, the character of Sin Cara would live on.

With so much money and time invested in the Cara character, it was decided that WWE star Hunico would don the mask and continue the gimmick. Having appeared on WWE TV as Sin Cara when Mistico was suspended and as Sin Cara Negro during the Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara feud, Hunico was the the natural choice as successor and still appears as the Sin Cara character to this day.
