WWE star Sin Cara recently spoke with Hidden Remote to promote his new custom Reebok sneakers now available via Footlocker. Below are some interview highlights:

Hidden Remote: What kind of influence did Eddie Guerrero have on your career and how did he help pave the way for future Latino wrestlers in WWE?

Cara: For me, I grew up in El Paso, Texas, that’s where Eddie grew up also. I had the very first look at Eddie’s career when he was starting back in the day and I was about eight-, nine-years-old and he was about 18 and I remember vividly the matches he had when he started and how he evolved into what he became: the superstar known all over the world. To me, he was a great influence, one of those people I believed that if he could do it, I could do it also. He motivated a lot of us, a lot of people from the area. Not just from the area but overall in Latin America that anything could be possible.

Hidden Remote: What was your brief stint in the Cruiserweight division like and do you believe WWE is using those guys to their full potential?

Cara: To be honest, I was trying to make the most of my opportunity, but in my case, I was only there for a couple of weeks. I wasn’t really there for long. I think the Cruiserweights are great athletes and talented wrestlers, but in my case, I think I’m too big for the division. Not weight-wise because I weigh like 198, but height-wise I’m a lot bigger. I’m about 5 ’10” and I put on the boots and I’m 6′.

But it’s one of those things where they want a certain type of wrestler in the division and that’s fine. I didn’t think it was a bad decision by the company not using me there but now there’s a lot of opportunities for the all the kids that are doing that. Kalisto just transitioned into 205 [Live] and I wish him the best and hopefully that division can flourish now.
