Rey Mysterio is one of the most famous luchadors in all of professional wrestling and his mask is synonymous with career. However, he had lost it two decades ago in WCW.
Mysterio recently spoke to Super Luchas, where he was asked if he would bet his mask in a match again. Here is what he had to say:
“Oh I do not know. They are moments that you live at the moment. I can’t make a decision right now, and I believe that a respect has been maintained with the mask since I entered WWE, which was in 2002, and although I lost it and we know that in Mexico when you lose the mask your career continues without her, and so it was with me, right? … I lost her in WCW … but when I entered WWE, because the plans were different, and people accepted me again with the character, and that’s why I’m still Rey Mysterio today masked.”
Mysterio is still an excellent competitor, even without his iconic mask. However, Rey’s mask is a big part of his character, so it is unlikely he will risk his mask in a match again.
