I mean, it seems like, when you get these luchadores unmask after losing a mask vs. mask (or mask vs hair match), they always give their real name and work with their face exposed afterwards? That's how I've always understood it. But, honestly, has a luchador who's a technico (babyface) ever turned rudo (heel) after losing their mask?
You'd think that it'd be justified; why wouldn't you want to beat the shit out of the person who forced you to unmask, the greatest insult in lucha libre, they'd have embarrassed you in front of god and everybody. Has there ever been a rudo turn from a technico right after they've unmasked?
It is interesting how these luchadors get unmasked, like, the biggest slap in the face you can get as a luchador, and they don't instantly want to maul the guy who beat them, forcing them to unmask?

My understanding is that a mask vs. whatever match is generally a feud ender, so if it got to that point, there is probably not as much mileage left in the matchup.

In season 1 of LU
Sexy Star beat SuperFly both babyfaces at the time he had to unmask and when he returned a few episodes later he attacked sexy star.
it lead to nothing because superfly sucks cherrios but it happened.

Honestly, Sexy Star is even worse, Superfly was bland, but at least he wasn't a garbage human being. (that we know of.) |

Yea but purely within the context of LU...atleast Sexy Star has the No Mas match to her name (although that can be largely argued that Mariposa carried that match) where as SuperFly did jack and shit lol. |

It really shows how good Cheerleader Melissa/Mariposa was, even if you could argue that she wasn't the Cheerleader Melissa of her prime when she rocked up in LU, when she managed to get a good match out of Sexy Star. |

Well, not actually a luchadore, but.in Chikara, Equinox lost a mask vs hair match to Chris Hero. After he unmasked, Hero exposed him as a dropout from the Wrestle Factory who was posing as a luchadore to work in Chikara. Afterwards, the technicos all came out and dumped his bags in front of him, while preventing him from going into the locker room. The following season, Equinox, now known as Vin Gerard, turned rudo, saying he got Skayde, one of the trainers at the Wrestle Factory, to lie about him being a luchadore, under the threat of deportation, then began targeting the technico locker room as revenge for kicking him out.

To a Spanish-speaker he would be. "Luchador" just means wrestler (or "fighter," literally). Anyway, Art Barr did this in Mexico, or maybe more accurately he turned heel in the process of losing his mask (getting disqualified for tombstoning Blue Panther, the second straight time he had done so). |
