Sin Cara Unmasked

Sin Cara Unmasked

Just to recap and update the whole Sin Cara situation with the WWE... It was announced that Sin Cara was suspended for 30 days for failing a drug test in June in which he tested positive for steroids. However, Sin Cara was not suspended until after the Money In The Bank PPV in late July. WWE had Sheamus power-bomb Sin Cara off the ring and through ladder. Sin Car was stretchered out of the ring area and hasn't been seen since.

Despite the fact that Sin Cara has publicly denied any steroid use, and stated that he has only been given shots into his knee and that is the only drug in his system, WWE has stuck to their story and has not made any plans to bring Sin Cara back. 

It is even rumored that he will be fired / released after the 30 day suspension!

To make matters worse, WWE released Sin Cara's real name, which is a big issue with masked wrestlers. His real name is Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde. He has also been removed from the SummerSlam poster in which he was featured and his profile seems to have been removed from the website as well. I think if they were planning on ever using Sin Cara again they would not have released his name, or claimed he tested positive for steroids, they would want him back in time for SummerSlam because its such a big PPV and he is one of their most popular stars. Since they have done all of this to ruin his character it seems like the typical WWE style of destroying a character so he can't go anywhere else. 

Why would they do this though? The best explanation I have been able to find is that WWE tried to trademark the name "Sin Cara" but were told they could not legal own the name unless Sin Cara signed and agreed to it. He refused and the trademark was denied and WWE was told they had 6 months to try to reapply for the trademark. However, since then Sin Cara has been written off of TV, suspended, real name released, name slandered in steroid rumours (come on he is not one of the big steroid looking guys, that's more like Cena and others like him, not the cruiser-weights), and if that wasn't enough I just came across a picture that has some how found its way online of Sin Cara badly beaten and unmasked!
