Cactus Jack Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Hi People, I just watched a Best of WCW Cruiserweights tape, which of course featured many mexicans. I know that the mask is something sacred in mexican wrestling, but why do they wear them? they look complete idiots, especially the masks with fake hair. Now, this was not meant to offend anyone, I just wanted to know why they wear them? Also, how come Juventud Guerra (SP) was frowned upon for losing his mask to Jericho?

Guest Perfection Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Originally posted by Cactus Jack [b} the mask is something sacred in mexican wrestling [/b] That pretty much says it all :) And it may have been frowned upon cos Jericho isn't a mexican or something like that. I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tajiri Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 You really have to be Mexican to understand the mask, it's like a pride thing that represents your character and when Juvi lost his to Jericho it was like an insult to the Lucha culture.

Sasuke Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 (edited) Yes, Tsu's mask does look magnificent but it would look better on me...... The mask is a very important part of Lucha culture. The tradion stems back many years. I wrote a Dooyoo opinion on Lucha that talked abotu the deal with the masks, let me find the link.... Ok, here it is: http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/review/308427.html I'm sorry the link it so link but don't blame yourself, blame Dooyoo! Oh and I also have that Best of WCW Cruisers tape. Just thought I'd add that :) <EDIT> Your link had you logged in - so anyone could have changed your settings...cashed in your miles etc (thats why it was so long :) ). I've changed it.

Guest HoganFan Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Well, you gotta say that Rey became very popular after he lost his mask (at least among the US audience), and the opposie was true of Juvi. Why was this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
