wrestlers

are a central component of Lucha Libre as explained by Rey Mysterio. The mask is a very big tradition in Mexican Lucha Libre. Probably 80 or more wrestlers wear them. One of the best wrestlers of all time in the country was El Santo. and even when he died he was buried with his mask a fighter will only lose his mask at the end of a massive fight if you have been fighting a single fighter for a long time it will all come down to that final moment where it is mask against mask and eventually one of the wrestlers will have to unmask, as we will see, this tradition has not always been respected in the United States, leading to controversial unmasks.

Number one, Rey Mysterio, without a doubt, the greatest mass wrestler of our time and possibly of all time, although fans of El Santo may disagree. Rey Mysterio far surpassed his cruiserweight status, winning the WWE Championship once and the World Heavyweight Championship twice during his time in WWE, he was also not signed and at Super Bowl 9 in 1999, Ray lost his mask. in a hair vs. mask match involving the outsider teams fighting conan. and Rey Mysterio Mysterio was not happy with the circumstances of his loss and explained that he was firmly against it. I don't think wcw understood what the mask meant to me, to my fans and to my family, it was a very bad move on their part, the fans wanted it.

Rey Mysterio with the mask and losing it hurt me a lot, it was also frustrating that it did not come as the climax of a fight with another massive fighter but in a throwaway fight the same thing happened to youth and psychosis and psychologically a bad move by Eric was wise bischoff i think the fans understood that i was in a position where i had no choice, i either had to lose my mask or lose my job, ray would put on his mask when he debuted for wwe and would keep it despite some close calls when opponents like chris jericho they tried to reveal their identity by removing the mask but without being able to expose face number 2 of mysterio.

Kane, the big red machine, is one of the few spin-off characters that has come close to matching the success of his inspiration. In this case, the Undertaker who plays the Undertaker's brother, Kane en masse evoked foreboding and fear every time he fought, however, things became even scarier when Kane was forced to unmask himself during the June 23 episode of 2003 raw in the wwe, glenn jacobs recalled the events that led to my unmasking i felt like i had gone as far as i could with the mask at that point the only people behind the decision to take it off were me and mr mcmahon there was no fear of me Part of losing the mask is the thought.

In some people's minds, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but this created something new for my career. I knew I could do it. The reaction from the WWE universe was great. Jacob's comments about the mask didn't show the attraction of masked wrestlers, I didn't think the mask adds much mystique because you never know exactly what I'm thinking number three, the kid from Calgary, The Miz is amazing, a fact that fans have known for years and one of the best examples is when the Future standout lost a match against John Cena and was kicked out of WWE in 2009, however, the following week, the winner of this match in Calgary hooded, blue blazer After a successful run in Calgary Stampede Wrestling in New Japan Pro Wrestling, Owen Hart signed with the WWF working under a mask as the high-flying superhero character The Blue Blazer.

areas competed as Huniko but reverted to the Singkara identity. When WWE released Alverde in 2014. Number 7. John Cena, Have you ever heard of the short-lived massive wrestler named Juan Cena dressed in a fruity pebble suit and mask? This ignomatic wrestler used the five-knuckle move and attitude adjustment during a triple threat match against The Miz and Wayne Barrett at the time John Cena had been fired from the WWE due to a strange match stipulation during his feud with the nexus, so jon had his cousin juan cena take his place in a house show match, but some fans believe it was actually john under the mask, idiots number 8.

The dark patriot, while fans of WWE may remember the Masked Patriot from his short career in the WWF, they probably have never heard of his double, the Dark Patriot, before entering the WWF, the Pink Patriot. to fame in the Global Wrestling Federation where he held the promotion's television title and the North American Championship during his time in the GWF The Patriot found himself confronted by his dark double The Dark Patriot The two clashed repeatedly until the Patriot defeated him. unmasked revealing him as wrestler doug gilbert mass superstar number nine number two bill eady competed as a mass superstar in several territories before hiding his features under face paint as demolition acts during a career in jim crocker promotions edie hired a big protégé called mass superstar 2 to help him during his dispute against blackjack mulligan eventually mulligan unmasked superstar number 2 revealing that he was the great john sturd one of mulligan number 10's archrivals. assassin number two the massive team of jodie hamilton and tom ernesto were a famous team during the territory era after ernesto retired hamilton took on several partners who competed as the number two assassin one of them was Hercules Hernandez this version of the assassins worked on Jim Crocker's promotions including a fight in the first Starcade.

Killer number two was later unmasked by boogie woogie man, Jimmy Valiant, and ironically, Hercules would do it. He put on a mask again this time in Mid-South Wrestling when he became Mr. Wrestling Two's 11th protégé. mr america, what are you going to do brother when vince mcmahon sidelines you in the hulk hogan case? Eventually going into the trope of donning a hood and portraying another wrestler even though everyone knew who he was, Mr. McMahon tried everything to prove that Mr. America was Hogan, including a lie detector test, but the man Beneath the Mass remained safe from McMahon's machinations until Hogan had a real-life feud with the WWE and left.

Vince really feared this and had Hogan mask up after SmackDown claiming he finally exposed Mr America's ID number 12, the Black Scorpion In 1990, NWA World Heavyweight Champion Sting found himself harassed by the Scorpion. black, a mass wrestler who claimed to be a figure from Stinger's past in WCW tried to suggest that he could be Sting's former partner, the ultimate warrior even though the warrior was with the WWF, the black scorpion played mind games with Sting confronting him with low-rent magic tricks and illusions that kept fans guessing who the Scorpion was unfortunately. wcw wasn't quite sure who he was using different wrestlers to play him until they finally settled on Sting's arch nemesis.

The angle became so complicated that it quickly earned a spot as one of wcw's worst storylines in the 13th abyss story while some fans initially saw the abyss monster as a hybrid of a poor man's humanity and kane christopher parks. He worked hard to overcome the abyss character in TNA as a monster heel who eventually obtained the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and became a TNA Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion portraying a psychologically disturbed. Individual Parks worked an angle where he claimed to be Abyss' brother. Joseph Parks in search of his missing brother. Abyss, the two were eventually revealed to be one and the same, an unmasking of sorts and one strange enough to make our list number 14. a warrior, while wcw loved its wrestlers in its cruiserweight division He seemed to love unmasking them even more as Rey Mysterio, who went to Guerrero, was forced to unmask this time in a mask versus title match against Cruiserweight Champion Chris Jericho at Super Bowl 8.

Guerrero's loss didn't have a significant reward in history for neither him nor Jericho, another example of WCW's ignorance towards the meaning of a wrestler's 15th mask. psychosis psychosis was another victim of wcw's no-mass, no-problems policy, with the talented masked man losing his mask twice first at a house show for rey mysterio cena in mexico and the second time against billy kidman during a episode of monday night nitro and number 16 doom the mass menaces known collectively as doom strong dom wcw's tank team division under the management of a woman after their debut in halloween 1989 havoc at the pay-per-view in february 1990, however, doom was losing steam and launched a mask vs. title match against the Steiner brothers at Clash of Champions 10, revealing themselves to be Ron Simmons and Butch Reed.
