During his WWE tenure, Sin Cara, formerly known as Hunico, gained popularity, especially as part of the tag team Lucha Dragons alongside Kalisto.
However, in a recent revelation, he shared that there was a particular aspect of his character that he initially disliked.
The Lucha Dragons were known for their engaging gimmick that involved chanting “Lucha” during their entrances, encouraging audience participation.
This interactive element became a signature part of their persona, much like how Seth Rollins’ entrance song engages fans today.
Surprisingly, Sin Cara confessed that, at first, he wasn’t a fan of the Lucha chants.
During an episode of UnSKripted this week, the former WWE Superstar elaborated on his initial reservations and how he eventually embraced the chants after realizing their significance.
“In the beginning, to be honest, I used to hate it. You can talk to any of the boys that were with me in NXT. I used to hate when they would tell me to do this (mimics Lucha chants). I felt like I was a cheerleader. I was like, man, I am a professional wrestler. What am I doing? But then as the crowd started loving it, then you become part of it. You know, you become motivated, so I started doing the Lucha chants again.” (21:51 onwards)
This candid insight into Sin Cara’s initial resistance to the chants sheds light on the internal dynamics and personal feelings that performers may have about specific aspects of their characters.
Despite his reservations, Sin Cara ultimately embraced the crowd interaction, recognizing its positive impact on fan engagement.
While Sin Cara is currently active in the wrestling scene, the likelihood of his return to the WWE remains uncertain.
