Full video of Sin Cara vs Primo from Cara's debut WWE house show tour

by David Bixenspan on Mar 30, 2011 1:13 PM EDT in WWE

As teased by the video of his post-match celebration after his WWE debut match that I linked to, a helpful YouTube uploader has provided us all with the second match between Sin Cara (the former Mistico) against Primo Colon from Cara's first WWE house show tour this past weekend. The camerawork is terrible and the lighting is blown out but it's still watchable.

He's adapted to WWE style better than I expected him to so quickly and it sounded like the fans were impressed by him. I would think that Primo will be Cara's opponent next week on Raw for his TV debut, but I wonder how long he'll be paired with smaller heels that can showcase him properly like Primo, Tyson Kidd, and...ummm...yeah. It should be interesting to see how he's handled over the course of the next several weeks, since he's not Rey Mysterio, who was quickly thrown into the mix with the less flexible "WWE style" wrestlers, but had years of experience working American style.

For the non pro wrestling folks

Whats a house show and how is it different from other regular shows?

To add to what Bix said

They tend to be “less storyline (i.e. no progression), more wrestling,” and for some (particularly with TNA) way more fun, or at least way less humiliating to be a fan of.

Note that this mainly applies to WWE and TNA, as opposed to ROH, Chikara, PWG or other such “big name indy” promotions where each show ends up on DVD, allowing storylines and vignettes to progress both live and on DVD.

Also, what is “WWE style,” exactly? I can think of a lot of sarcastic definitions, but I don’t know the “real” meaning.

If memory serves....

It’s as safe as you can make it and as slow as you can make it without making it look boring.

I guess you wouldn’t even notice a difference unless you watched a promotion with a severely different style like ROH which will have a crazier and faster paced style of match.

I’m not really sure how to put it into words, it’s not bad or anything, just a lot different. You’ll notice the speed difference if you hop on YouTube and watch any other Mistico match.

Doesn’t it also tend to include a lot more striking as opposed to grappling? More back-and-forth punch exchanges, for example, which are safer and slower than dueling powerslams.

Not really. There mostly about power moves. Throws, slams, presses. Stuff big, muscular wrestlers would do.

The con of it all though is that it creates an absence of technique and leaves all other wrestlers who don’t fit that mode straining to do the impossible and sometimes shelving them for a bit.

My friend mentioned that they should team with with Mysterio to start off.

I thought it was a terrible idea because it was too obvious. Then I thought about it more and I don’t necessarily hate it. You could have Sin Cara come in to help Rey at WM from interference on Dusty Rhodes’ part, forming a masked duo for the foreseeable future. Then from there, it’s easy to push him and Rey as old friends. It’s also pretty easy to turn him (or Rey, but but probably him) heel at a future date and have some absolutely awesome Rey vs. Sin Cara matches.

I’m just thinking out loud basically. And I’m still bitter they retired the Cruiserweight title.

A Great way to showcase Sin Cara

would be to re-introduce the cruiserweight belt. You have Bourne, Tyson Kidd, Daniel Bryan, Justin Gabriel, Tyler Black and others that could really have standout matches to help get Sin Cara over and his feet wet before a main event push. Cara should not expect to be Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio has the size and charisma that Cara doesn’t so he needs to work his way to the top.
