However, he continued writing about the realisation of not being valued as an athlete or talent. He also added that he feels like being trapped with the company. Sin Cara wrote that he has worked hard for the company and have waited patiently for the opportunity to show the world everything he can do. He signed off writing that unfortunately, after all these years, that opportunity never came and Sin Cara wrote about feeling that he would never advance and stay wherever he is.
