10 Wrestlers Who Never Recovered From Awful Debuts

10. Sin Cara

When it was announced that Mexican superstar Mistico (Luis Urive) had officially signed for WWE, fans were understandably a little excited about his impending arrival.

The renamed Sin Cara was the most impressive masked sensation the company had brought in since Rey Mysterio joined the promotion back in 2002, so expectations were clearly high as his highly anticipated debut crept closer.

Sadly, Sin Cara (literally) didn't stick the landing when he popped up on Monday Night Raw for the very first time.

Getting caught up in the ropes during his distinct, trampoline-assisted entrance, Sin Cara set the tone for the rest of his botch-filled WWE run before he'd even got his hands (or legs) on then-United States Champion Sheamus.

This lacklustre entrance immediately took some of the shine off the fresh new face and the luchador's underwhelming debut only got worse during his first match a week later.

After again almost c*cking up his jump into the ring, Sin Cara fumbled a Spanish fly attempt on opponent Primo Colon and tumbled to the outside of the ring. He then quickly darted back into the squared circle and successfully performed the finishing move, but the damage had already been done.

Sin Cara wasn't able to stomp out the constant slips and slides from there on out and his inevitable WWE departure was then quickly forgotten about as Jorge Arias took up the masked mantle for the rest of the character's run in the company.
