exactly. what's the point of putting your mask on the line when we all know what ya look like.

What was the point of Kane putting his mask back on after everyone already knew what he looked like?

It's been years since Rey was unmasked and many people today likely don't know what he looks like underneath (with the Network arriving soon, it's possible for them to accidentally stumble upon footage from WCW of Rey unmasked, but the average fan who purchases the Network will be buying it for the current-day PPVs and shows and such, they aren't gonna care about watching old footage anyway.) Plus, it's a big deal for lucha libres to be forced to remove their mask (hence why Jericho was getting cheap heat in his feud with Rey in 2009 for trying to remove his mask.) This match if booked at all would be intended as a draw for the Latino demographic, nothing more. The Hair/Mask stipulations carry more weight with them because in Mexico, being forced to remove your mask or (if you don't wear a mask) being forced to shave your head bald is seen as the ultimate form of humiliation.
