5 wrestlers who never should have been unmasked

#4 Psicosis

Billy Kidman holding Psicosis' legacy

Psicosis was another one of the talents that helped ECW rise to the heights it did and he was also one of the wrestlers that WCW poached from the independent promotion. Known for his recognisable mask with the two horns and his unbelievable matches, WCW helped to destroy another luchador’s legacy.

They made him lose his mask not once, but twice. The first time was at a live event to Rey Misterio Sr. The second time was on TV to American cruiserweight Billy Kidman.

WCW was clearly obsessed with unmasking the luchadors for some reason but they did stay true to their word when they said it wouldn’t affect pushes. Psicosis also became Cruiserweight Champion just like Juventud Guerrera.

Despite the push though, he had also lost his identity, lost the work he had put in to make a name for himself and essentially make his mask famous.

He in did make an appearance in WWE in 2006 as he joined the company along with Juventud Guerrera and they formed a stable with Super Crazy. Unfortunately for him, it only served to show how far he’d dropped and while Rey Mysterio was enjoying multiple pushes and Championship reigns, Psicosis was riding to the ring in a lawn tractor.

Yes, that happened.

You have to wonder what might have been if the two-horned superstar had been allowed to keep his face hidden, his identity secret and his legacy intact.
