José Jorge Arriaga Rodríguez[1](born September 5, 1977) is an Americanprofessional wrestlercurrently working on the Mexicanindependent circuit,under thering nameCinta de Oro(Spanishfor "Golden Ribbon" ). He is best known for his tenure inWWE,under the ring nameSin Cara(Spanish for "Faceless" ), where he was the longest-tenured wrestler to use the persona.[10][11]
Prior to his signing with WWE, he wrestled under the ring nameMísticoorMystico(Spanish for "Mystic" ) under which he worked forMexicanprofessional wrestling promotionAAAand various independent promotions in theUnited Statesand Mexico. During this time,CMLLwrestlerMístico(Luis Urive) grew in popularity, and since CMLL originally owned the legal rights to the character, Arriaga had to change his ring name toMístico de Juarezand later toIncognito,under which he wrestled in promotions likeChikara,Total Nonstop Action Wrestling,and theNational Wrestling Alliance.
Arriaga signed with WWE in 2009 and debuted on the main roster in 2011 as Sin Cara, temporarily replacing the original performer of the character, who coincidentally was also Luis Urive. Following the return of Urive, the two began a storyline, with Arriaga donning a black mask, and was referred to on commentary asSin Cara Negro.Arriaga subsequently lost a Mask vs. Mask match against Urive and began wrestling unmasked under the ring nameHunico.In 2013, after the release of Urive, Arriaga reprised his role as Sin Cara. In contrast to Urive, Arriaga's portrayal of Sin Cara wasbilingualdue to Arriaga having grown up in theUnited States,thus knowing how to speak both Spanish and English, and doing so depending on the intended audience, whereas Urive legitimately did not know English. In September 2014, Arriaga won theNXT Tag Team ChampionshipalongsideKalistoas a part of theLucha Dragons.He departed the company in December 2019.[12]

[edit]Arriaga began wrestling atBurges High Schoolfrom 1992 to 1996, where in 1995 he placed 3rd in State of Texas and in 1996 he became an undefeated State Champion.[14]He then embarked on a professional career, as he managed to continue working for his family's funeral home inCiudad Juárez,Chihuahua,Mexico,during the early 2000s under the ring name "Mistico". This masked ring persona may or may not have preceded the in-ring debut ofMístico(Luis Urive) inConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre(CMLL), butPaco Alonsoowned the legal rights to the name "Místico" since 1999 anyway, forcing Arriaga to change his name to "Mystico" or "Mistico de Juarez" to differentiate from the original.[7]On February 2, 2004, he defeatedNicho El Millonarioto win theWWA Middleweight Championshipbut was stripped of the title in March when he had to stop wrestling in theTijuana,Baja Californiaarea where theWorld Wrestling Associationwas based.[15]
