Apparently its because he suffered a pyro accident while he was in the indy circuit when he was Mistico during his tour in Japan shortly before WWE announced he was signed. So his eyesight is slightly affected.
It's from a forum but I still need to find a reliable source for it to be confirmed though.
That is completely ridiculous. A ring with less light is not going to help someone with a vision problem, it's going to hinder them.
There's no good reason for this. They're simply over-catering to their new acclaimed high flier, which is stupid. No one else has ever been allowed to have special ring lighting during their match. Not even people like the Undertaker, for whom it would make a little bit of sense.
This yellow ring crap needs to stop. It's annoying to watch, and I'm sure it's even more annoying to compete in. And it can't be helping the live audience in the back rows see what the hells going on.
I can confirm that the accident in japan isnt true, i had the oportunity to work with him when he was "Mistico" and even after his last trip to japan wich was early this year, when he return to cmll he was fine.
He always used "contact lenses" (not sure if i spelled it right), it was part of his character and he never mention anything that bother him, or that he had a problem with his eyes.
It's to add to the mystique of Sin Cara's matches. They've done a lot of work to make sure that Sin Cara has some sort of mystical aura about him that kids will like, and the addition of dim lights just adds to their interest.
My friend who only watches raw was said "dude housed how WWE messed Sin Cara's lights? It was like that the whole match! How dumb are they!" yea, it's dumb.
I'm probably gonna get abuse for this, but I quite like the lights. It's something a little different, and gives the man "mystical" properties without the need to actually call him Mistico. When he slows down a bit/the WWE speeds up a bit, I think he's going to be a real treat to watch. Hell, even with the botches, I think he's exciting as hell.
When He First Started I Loved The Idea Of The Lightning But There Comes A Time That Grows Stale. At Least They Should Leave For His PPV Matches So It Does Not Grow Old.
