Jorge Arias (born September 5, 1977) is a Mexican-American professional wrestler currently signed to WWE on the SmackDown brand. He currently portrays the Sin Cara character and was formerly known as Hunico in WWE.
Before signing with WWE, Arias wrestled under the ring name Incognito under which he had worked for professional wrestling promotions such as AAA in Mexico and Chikara in the United States. He is the second wrestler to use the name Sin Cara in WWE as the first was Mexican born star Místico (Luis Urive).
Born to Mexican immigrant parents in El Paso, Texas, Arias began wrestling in Burges High School where he was an accomplished state champion multiple times. He then embarked onto a professional career, as he managed to continue working for his family's funeral home and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico in the early 2000s under the ring name "Mistico". This masked ring persona may or may not have preceded the debut of Místico (Luis Urive) in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) around the same time period, but CMLL won the legal rights to the name "Místico" some time in 2005, forcing Arias to change his name to "Mystico" or "Mistico de Juarez". On February 2, 2004 he defeated Nicho El Millonario to win the WWA Middleweight Championship but was stripped of the title in March when he had to stop wrestling in the Tijuana, Baja California area where the World Wrestling Association was based.
