Former CMLL luchador La Sombra (“The Shadow”) made his NXT debut earlier this month, competing without his trademark mask and using the ring name Manny Andrade. It’s interesting to note that Andrade is getting much more support from his former CMLL co-workers than the original Sin Cara did when he first joined the company.
Many CMLL wrestlers sent congratulatory messages to Andrade while the original Sin Cara’s WWE debut was met with indifference. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a lot of CMLL talent are keeping a close eye on Andrade and how he progresses in NXT. While the original Sin Cara’s WWE run was a total bust, Andrade has been improving his English and there’s hope that WWE will show continued interest in ‘Americanized’ luchadors from Mexico.
Back in November, the former La Sombra spoke with Kris Zellner of The Lucha Report explained that fellow Mexican stars Alberto Del Rio and Kalisto advised him to start in NXT and adapt to the WWE style while improving his English and polishing his act. He added that he misses his friends [CMLL stars] Rush and La Mascara and hopes that they can reunite in WWE one day.
