After watching Raw this monday, it's weird how Rey no-sells storylines. Kane goes on and on about how he's been torturing Rey for weeks, Rey shows up without s scratch. Rey get's unmasked, shows up with a mask on again like it's nothing. Considering this is the 2nd time he's been unmasked, what gives?

Well, considering that this is the first time he's been unmasked ever except for those three years between when it happened in WCW and his WWE debut...
I'd say yes.

No one cares nor remembers the WCW Angle where he was Unmasked Meaninglessly so why should the WWE Give a crap?
That's a major money making angle but lets scrap it cause Bischoff thought Rey looked Ugly with the mask

Well, it's hard to ignore the fact he wrestled on a mainstream wrestling show watched by far more people than Smackdown! is in 2009, for several years without a mask.

My gripe is that he got unmasked on WWE t.v. now, apparantly we're totally throwing the importance of that out.

I doubt most of the Ray Mysterio fan base remembers his being unmasked, seeing as how it was almost ten years ago. A lot of his fans weren't even born at the time.

Would people get over the fact that he was unmasked in WCW. We get it. Now let it go.

I'm personally over the fact that he was unmasked in WcW. It was a stupid move to begin with, as well as trying to make a guy that looks like a toddler a heel. My deal was the way he totally no sold the Kane storyline, and I dunno, I guess I thought being unmasked on t.v. in the WWE would mean something, not just losing matches cause Chris Jericho keeps messing with his mask.

Forget about no-selling the most recent mask removal. Once again, he has ignored the "heritage" of Lucha Libre that the WWE announcers are so wonderfully adept at getting across to us. Once your mask is removed, putting it back on for any reason = NUCLEER HEATZ! This is the second time Rey's done it.
If Chris Jericho wants to score several thousand points, he should bring that up: "All of you parasites are in such a romance with a masked man that you fail to understand what he's done. If Rey cared so much about his heritage, why does he go out of his way to spit on it? It's tradition that once your mask is removed, it can never be put back on again. Rey has turned his back on his heritage not once, but twice now. His mask was removed in WCW. Why does he put it back on? Because he's a hypocritical sell-out. He comes out here and sees his fans in masks, when in actuality, he sees walking, screaming dollar signs. All Mysterio cares about is the royalties that come from those masks. He doesn't give a damn about you people or his Mexican heritage. All he cares about is the Almighty Dollar, yet you disgusting ingrates continue to cheer that sanctimonious, sycophantic hypocrite. Come hell or high water, I WILL save Rey Mysterio, whether he likes it or not."

*Forgetting WCW* He didn't lose his mask in a mask match. You expect him to stop wearing masks just cause Jericho ripped one off his head?

That'd actually be pretty rad is Jericho did that. Shame Juvi messed up and was fired, would be interesting having two guys Jericho unmasked, hell even have Juvi side with Jericho since Rey shamed lucha libre tradition by putting the mask back on.

maybe it'll be a running gag where he gets unmasked once every decade...

The new fans that Mysterio appeals probably don't even know about the 1st demasking though.

It's true but not Unheard of Hijo Del Santo unmasked One of the Parkas either LA or Super and he put the mask back on and kept it on saying that every minute he wore this mask he was sending a giant ''Snork You'' to Santo Rey's doing the same thing to Kevin Nash

It seems like this will build up to a mask vs title match I guess. With rey winning the title back, cause he is even more unconvincing looking without the mask

He was infected by the continuity immunity through Kane, during their feud.

That's why I love Mysterio's cameo on Tough Enough years back and with the camera filming from behind Rey's back, he took off his mask as a "sign of respect" to the students and the teachers mentioned what a big deal that was for him to do that. Even though I saw him without a mask on; on WCW tv years before and I didn't have to take any bumps to see it ;D
