WWE sources indicate that Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde, the original Sin Cara, was sent home from Tuesday’s SmackDown taping in Calgary, Alberta, Canada after meeting with company officials. He left the Scotiabank Saddledome before the event’s conclusion.

Company sources say developmental talent Jorge Arias (a/k/a Hunico) will exclusively portray the Sin Cara character going forward. WWE wants to maintain the character since its been very popular among kids and in merchandise sales.

Many employees expect Alvirde to part ways with the organization, but that is not 100% confirmed.

WWE re-shot a match between Sin Cara and Heath Slater at Tuesday’s taping since the initial bout featured numerous botched maneuvers. Aries portrayed Cara in both matches. Alvirde was dressed to compete, but management opted not to use him.

I honestly think that he was just too nervous and largely inexperienced when it comes to the American version of the product. Allowing him to bypass development was a huge mistake in hindsight, he could have done with 3-6 months in FCW at the least to just get used to the WWE style, get used to America and the language and everything and come into the main roster with a bit more confidence, a little less pressure and a lot more knowledge.

There is no denying that Mistico has talent just from the clips on youtube it doesn't take a genius to figure out that he has some sort of it factor. I think that the WWE just made a huge mistake by throwing him in at the deep end and expecting him to be able to swim with sharks straight away. Even Del Rio spent some time down in FCW and he's being labelled as a revelation of sorts in terms of the next huge Mexican star in American pro-wrestling so I don't think you can take for granted what the development system can achieve.

Is it right that everyone should go through development? That's a different debate all together but IMO I think it is a good idea to send the inexperienced or in this case those who need time to adjust to development so that they can be provided with the help they need to give them a shot at longevity when they get to the main roster.
