This was so odd. Even for this list.

WWE never gave a single toss about the second Sin Cara. The first, they cared about a great deal before they realised that Triple H should have had him learn the WWE style to an extent. The one bloody time they needed to do it, and they didn't bother.

The former Mistico suffered the most steep fall from grace in wrestling history. The man was an in-ring wizard and massive draw in CMLL. In WWE, he was Peter Sellers.

His gimmick was transferred to the less expensive and more reliable José Jorge Arriaga Rodriguez, and while he wasn't a star or even particularly exciting, relative to other practitioners of the style, WWE kept him around. He wouldn't injure anybody in a prelim match and maybe his replica masks shifted decent units at house shows?

Who knows, really, but by 2019, he mostly acted as a surreal reminder that he was in fact still employed - which is when, purely to get the Andrade and Zelina Vega act in the ring at the same time, WWE temporarily called up NXT wrestler Catalina Garcia to play his friend for a couple of strange weeks.

Nobody knew how to pronounce her name - Vic Joseph did everything possible to avoid guessing, like she was the f*cking Candyman - and she just...disappeared after that.
