Rey Mysterio wants mask vs hair match against Dominick

[Chris]

Rey Mysterio says he's willing to put his mask on the line in a match against his son.

Mysterio was a guest on Logan Paul's Impaulsive show on Tuesday and teased the idea of a Lucha de Apuestas with Dominik.

Rey Mysterio said:

Maybe I put my mask on the line against his hair, which is some Lucha culture, and if I lose, I take my mask off and if he loses, he shaves his hair off. That might be interesting.

Rey was then asked if he thinks Dominik would be willing to agree to such a match.

He talks a lot of crap so why not back it up?

Rey was asked if plans are in place for the match to happen.

No, but I will pitch it out. I'll challenge him, straight up.

Mysterio has put his mask on the line 10 times previously. Prior to his arrival in WCW, he successfully retained his mask against Mr. Condor, Rocco Valente, Tony Arce, El Bandido, Vulcano, and Misterioso. He put his mask on the line twice in WCW, first in a mask vs. title match against Eddie Guerrero at Halloween Havoc 97. He would later lose his mask at SuperBrawl IX after his team with Konnan was defeated by Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

Mysterio would wrestle without his mask for the remainder of his time in WCW. Mysterio later received special permission from the Lucha Libre Council to put his mask back on when WWE toured Mexico for the first time since he signed with the promotion in 2002. He then successfully retained his mask against Kane at No Mercy 2008 and against Chris Jericho at The Bash in 2009.

Sounds like it could be fun but again… he said he’s not retiring for another two years so are they dragging this out that long? It’s possible Rey wins and Dom shaves his head I guess. Just through Rey would lose and retire

Who's the GD leaker here!!!

I can’t see Rey taking his mask off again so Dom definitely will get his head shaved.

They probably could drag this angle out to Summerslam as long as they’re not too heavy handed with it

 

[Wiseman]

But yeah, Dom losing his hair. Can't see Rey wanting to lose the mask. Can't see WWE wanting that just for the sheer money it could possibly lose them from sales (guess that's a little bit of Rey's motivation as well). Not only that, but frankly, Dom going bald would pretty much work with the "hard" gimmick he's got going.

Dominick better grow that mullet even bigger.

I think the only way he'd lose his mask is if it coincides with his retirement. Since it is somewhat common that some masked wrestlers at the end of their career lose their mask as a way to put over a younger wrestler, and in a way, symbolize the end of their wrestling identity.

To me this sounds like a career ending match for Rey Mysterio by losing his mask to his son.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

If I was Don, I’d just show a tape of him at anytime in the last two years working WCW without his mask and ask Rey why he’d want his mask?

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah Rey already lost his mask so this match doesn’t matter

 

[Daddy Dom]

Dom gonna shake his head and wear a mask xD

 

[Apoho Creed]

I think I remember talking about this very idea during Night 1 of Wrestlemania with a possible Retirement stipulation added to the Match. I would hold off on this Match personally do in a few Years and by that time Dom is even more seasoned as a performer and have the Match then for sure.

Am I the only one that think they're just going to shave Dom's mullet that he's been growing out for the last few months lol Rey isn't losing his mask

And then do the whole Kurt Angle thing of trying to hide it yada yada yada.

If the next few years work out for Dom then it could be a real possibility to do the mask thing though

I figured that's why he was growing it.
