Hey guys
With Kane un-masking in 2003, then re-masking in 2011 and WWE admitting it and moving on like nothing happened. Do you think WWE will ever admit that Rey was un-masked in WCW? If Kane's "reputation" as a wrestler wasn't ruined when he re-masked, how could it hurt Rey? Unless they go with the Mexican tradition on not un-masking.

Why would they need to acknowledge it?

Why would they need to acknowledge it? That's my thought. It would just seem to come out of left field nowadays. The only way it could not seem that way is if a Mask match came up, but even then, it would take away from the mystique of the match, since you know footage from WCW would be shown. |

It would be stupid to acknowledge it. Especially considering how much merch Rey sells. The allure to a lot of fans is that they've never seen him unmasked.

80% of the current audience has NO clue that he ever wrestled without a mask on.
WWE would like to keep it that way.

It was just a thought. Whenever WWE talks about WCW, they say Rey was there until 2001, but only show footage/photos from 1996 - 1999. It seems like they would've made some sort of reason as to why there are no photos from the last three years

I was just watching the Monday Night Wars dvd and they show Rey at the final WCW taping, mask-less. Of course it is only from the side and back, and they never say his name during that short bit of film, but...
That dvd is from 2003, however and they mention Rey with the mask way, way more.
It would be nice to see some of those matches again. I am sure, when Rey retires and they do a complete match style DVD, we might get that part of the story- er, probably not.

If Rey Mysterio wasnt near retirement, I wouldn't mind a long heel run without his mask. I think it would be great and would put another top heel on Smackdown and then WWE would finally be able to turn Alberto Del Rio into a face.

I bet he has his own storage room in the WWE vaults just to keep his clothes. Unless he keeps them himself.

What the hell are you talking about? Rey has never unmasked, he even wears it in the shower.

It'll never happen, but it would be awesome if someone mentioned in during a feud.

Why should they acknowledge something that never should have happened in the first place?

In the Rey DVD at one point he flat out said that he's never wrestled without his mask. I continued watching but couldn't enjoy it knowing that he wasn't being truthful.
