Triple H is regarded as the man who had the foresight to reinvent WWE's developmental system. NXT is generally viewed as one of the most solid wrestling programs on television, and 'The Game' deserves praise for creating a hotbed of enjoyment for fans. That said, he also must be taken to task for other decisions he has made. Notably, Sin Cara being the one which simply didn't work out as intended. Signed amidst much fanfare in 2011, Luis Urive was treated like a big deal by World Wrestling Entertainment. Known as Mistico in his native Mexico, Urive promised to be an exciting addition to the WWE roster. As soon as he signed, industry critics started likening him to Rey Mysterio, even stating that he was a better in-ring performer. WWE fans quickly found that out to be false. Botched entrances and moves permeated Sin Cara's initial appearances. There were communication problems, due to Urive not speaking English, and the whole hullabaloo surrounding his arrival dissipated hastily. Today, Sin Cara is played by Jorge Arias, and Urive was released by WWE in 2014. Before he was terminated, Arias had already started using the gimmick. Far from being the 'next' Rey Mysterio, Urive couldn't even be a decent Sin Cara.
