Yeah, it's a recurring theme. Heels try to remove Face's masks. Eddie ripped Rey's mask to poo poo in WCW, Muto ripped at Liger's mask (Leading to Kishin Liger"), Dr. Wagner, La Sombra, etc, etc. You just see it more in Lucha because 1)More Masks per average, 2)It is held in such higher esteem. Though puro has borrowed some of that esteem as well.

I haven't been watching CMLL for that long and my grasp of lucha history isn't that great, but heels tearing at a face's mask and/or ripping it off is very common. Someimtes it causes a match to end in a DQ, other times (like the trios match that ended with Mascara pinning Atlantis on Monday) the heel will rip off the mask after the match is over for heat.

The fact that he's succeeding indicates the masked men aren't expecting to have it actually removed.

I think part of the problem is that masks in WWE are just pulled over head and not tied on. Since they're stretchy and elastic rather than tied and tightened to someone's head they pull off more easily.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

HEY RADICAL LARRY HOW ABOUT A HAIRCUT

****MIC TO THE WILLY***
Surprised to see a post 2000 photo that still has that 'look'. Does anyone know what I mean? I guess it's a pre-digital camera that gives it that look. A bit of haze, totally DARK crowd [sometimes], off colour magenta/cyans. I love seeing them when they pop up. I'm not too geared up on the early days of digital/film or anything of course.

I think this mostly looks that way because it's a magazine scan, or at least it appears to be. Or a scan of an actual photo. The raw photo is likely more crisp and could be edited to look "more modern".

It is interesting to see the old look of wrestling in general, though. Was watching Survivor Series 96 the other day and there are so many little differences from lighting to entrances to interviews to commentary that really just let you know the era you're in. I feel like WWE has felt like it's in the same era for the past 15 years or so, or whenever all of the PPV sets started being homogenized to look like RAW.

Behind the scenes pictures from the LotR movies. Filming started in October 1999 and seeing the very obviously late 90s pictures makes me feel very old.
