‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio doesn’t wear a mask in WWE and despite some initial reservations, he is fine with not donning headwear like his father.
In a recent interview with “The West Sport,” Mysterio admitted that he hoped to wear a mask when he started his WWE career but is now happy with going maskless. He said,
“Originally, I wanted to wear a mask. I wanted to do the whole Lucha traditional thing. But it all came so fast, especially with my debut match with Seth [Rollins]. And plus, I’m way too good-looking.
“A lot of Luchadors wear masks because they are not good-looking dudes. There is a vignette that Eddie Guerrero does back in WCW where someone stole his wallet. And he lines up every Luchadore in WCW and makes everyone take off their masks. His facial reactions to all these guys, he’s scared because all these guys are hideous. And my dad included and Dragon Lee. So that’s a big reason why I don’t wear a mask. I feel like I’m just the hair, and I’m good-looking! It takes away from it all.”
Mysterio will face CM Punk at the upcoming ‘Boxing Day’ WWE live event at Madison Square Garden in Punk’s first match in a WWE ring since January 2014.
