Who Is Sin Cara? How Old Is He, Here’s Everything You Need To Know

Quick Facts

Another fighter from beyond the borders of the US, Sin Cara is actually more of a role than a person.

He is also the longest-serving performer to play that character. Like others before him, Jorge fought under different names and in other lower-tier promotions before his WWE career.
