	Protective Mask - Mexican Wrestling
		Masks are mystical-- they show another side of the personality of the person who wears it.
		A mask is not just an accessory but also a symbol, an attitude, a cultural icon, an identity for a Luchador.
		In Mexican wrestling the most important matches are "mask vs. mask", when the wrestlers bet their masks upon defeat.

	Wrestling mask - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wrestling masks are most widely used in the Mexican/Latin lucha libre style of wrestling.
		A wrestler's mask is usually related to a wrestler's persona (for example, a wrestler known as 'The Panda' might wear a mask with a panda's facial markings).
		While in Japan and Mexico masks are a sign of tradition, they are generally considered by many in the United States to be a deathblow to a wrestler's character.

	Lucha libre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mexican wrestling is marked with a lessened emphasis on power moves than in the United States or Canada.
		In modern Lucha Libre, masks are colorfully designed to evoke the images of animals, gods, ancient heroes, and other archetypes, whose identity the Luchador takes on during a performance.
		In American wrestling, the terms "face" and "heel" are considered "insider" terms and workers and announcers do not use the terms since they would "break kayfabe".

	Wrestling Masks
		They are unique character masks created, designed and built for the individual personality of the wrestler, all made with the expression, emotion and feeling that you require built in.
		You need a mask to become a complete character, one that has a full range or specific range of emotions.) Designing a mask that fits and enables your character to have a full palette of emotions in the ring or performance is vital.
		I designed the mask so that it would be simple for Mick to make the mask work theatrically, giving him the freedom of a specific range of emotions to explore and develop into the strong masked character that he did.

	The Professional Wrestling Online Museum - Masked Wrestlers
		The mask is not only a costume tradition, it is also a major dramatic device - mask vs. mask matches are the height of lucha rivalries, and wrestlers unmasked usually go through major attitude and career changes (Cien Caras was a popular masked man, the unmasked Caras has since become one of Mexicos foremost villains).
		Masks, character identities, and related honor aside, Mexican fighters are traditionally more agile, throw exotic moves that would challenge any circus acrobat, and play the crowds better than anyone.
		iger Mask was a successful comic and cartoon wrestling hero as early as the late 60's, but in the early 80's, the fictional character was brought to life when phenomenal junior heavyweight Satoru Sayama adopted the costume for use in the Ring.

	Professional Wrestling Online Museum - Ring Chronicle Hall of Fame Inductee - Tiger Mask
		Tiger Mask was born Satoru Sayama on November 24, 1957 in Yamaguchi, Japan.
		The talented Sayama was asked to fill the role, he accepted, and after much preparation made his wrestling debut in 1981 defeating the formidable Dynamite Kid for the vacated WWF Junior Heavyweight championship.
		Whereas Tatsumi Fujinami had basically introduced the division to the Japanese fans, it was Tiger Mask who took it to incredible new heights of popularity in his native country of Japan, as well as in Mexico and the U.S. However, during a tag team match on April 3,1983 he was injured by Dynamite Kid.

	~~I~~Lucha!~~/I~~ Behind the mask \| csmonitor.com
		With hints of pre-Colombian civilizations and comic-book heroes, the mask does more than create a character in the ring: it defines its wearer for life.
		His wrestling name comes from a character in John Knowles's novel "A Separate Peace." He became acquainted with lucha while sparring with "El Hijo del Santo," whose name is taken from his father, "El Santo," the fabled '50s luchador whose popularity extended to comic books and B movies.
		Even during this uncostumed practice, I find myself cringing as the wrestlers climb corners, crouch like tigers, and take flying headlong leaps or perform a horrifying maneuver that entails wrapping one's legs around an opponent's neck as he spins and flips you.

	Wrestling Title Histories an essential resource
		Wrestling may be experiencing a boom business period and it may be the subject of unparalleled coverage in the mainstream media and it may be enjoying unmatched levels of popularity.
		For an international wrestling junkie like myself, I found the listings of title holders in Japan and Mexico to be a God-send.
		For the longest time, it was the wrestling promoters who wrote the history, duping unsuspecting media types into believing their version of the truth.

	eBay.co.uk: Mexican Wrestling Mask - Santo - Lucha Libre - Vintage (item 170053315239 end time 24-Jun-07 22:39:51 BST)
		Masks are colorfully designed to evoke the images of animals, gods, ancient heroes, and other archetypes, whose identity the Luchador takes on during a performance.
		The most iconic match is máscara contra máscara (English: mask versus mask), where two masked luchadores bet their masks, and the loser is unmasked by the winner and his real name is officially revealed.
		However, masks started to become an artifact used by the natives to forget about the actual oppression they were going through, transforming them into imaginary, invincible warriors or powerful animals or beasts.

	Unmasking wrestling's mask - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		In today's professional wrestling, the mask is seen as a sign of weakness or laziness practiced by a new-aged "script writer" who can't be bothered to be creative.
		Slapping a mask on a no-name talent didn't matter much in the 1980s because Hulk Hogan was such a strong draw that it didn't matter if he wrestled Andre the Giant at "Wrestlemania" or a masked-enhanced wrestler Saturday morning.
		That aspect of a mask can actually benefit a wrestler rich in talent, a strong gimmick or look who can't seem to string together more than a couple of words at a time.

		Don Jardine, competing under a mask at the time as The Super Destroyer, was set to leave the Mid-Atlantic area, prompting booker George Scott to ask Eadie to drop the Mongol gimmick and don a mask.
		Originally slated to work under the mask for only a few months, Eadie opted to stick with the gimmick, for it gave him the privacy and anonimity outside the ring to spend time with his family in public, as well as the ability to avoid the occassional overzealous wrestling fan.
		The Masked Superstar's run in the WWF was highlighted by one major angle in late 1983 involving the late "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert.
