I've been trying to find a clip of when Konnan lost his mask in Mexico.
It's apparently one of the most moving moments in lucha history, and what catapulted Konnan into superstardom.
I don't want to spoil what happens because I can only imagine what it would be like to watch it without knowing what happens first.
Does anyone know where I can see it online?

Thanks homie!
I hope everyone gets a chance to see this.
TRANSLATION: The six-year-old in the front row wearing the mask is (kayfabe) Konnan's little brother.
After Konnan gets screwed and has to take off his mask (which, to the best of my knowledge, is the first time that not only shenanigans were involved in a mask-match BUT the very first crooked-ref gimmick in lucha history) his little brother tries to cover his face so nobody has to see it.
Historically, this was the first time someone losing their mask actually propelled their career, as opposed to losing it when they've decided to call it quits.
It's a pretty significant moment in lunch history, and more than that, the scene of Konnan "brother" trying to obscure his identity is (in my opinion) among the most touching scenes in wrestling of any region ever televised.
Really glad I could finally see the clip, thanks again!
