Mexican wrestlers abandon mask-wearing after realizing their freedom was being trampled
Mexican professional wrestlers, or “luchadors,” have turned their backs on decades of tradition by eschewing their elaborate masks after learning from social media that wearing a mask is somehow an affront to one’s God-given liberty.
Reymond “Rey” Mysterio Jr., perhaps the world’s most famous high-flying luchador, shocked fans when he removed his mask this week on WWE programming and declared it a “tool of control” created by the “deep state” to “manipulate control something something.”
Said Mysterio: “I used to wear my mask with pride, but then I saw a meme that Val Venis posted on Facebook about how wearing a mask is a form of surrender to authoritarian mind control, and that changes everything.”
Mysterio called on all fellow luchadors to “remove the yoke of oppression” from their faces.
“If mask-wearing is effective, why hasn’t a luchador been Universal Champion?” asked an unmasked Mysterio. “Clearly mask-wearing in Mexican wrestling is indicative of systemic face-ism.”
