I'm pretty sure it's just a mask. Mick said the mask was originally supposed to be similar to "the Man in the Iron Mask" until he asked them to change it up a little.

Oh I know that, I'm just wondering if there's any backstory for the mask.

I think they used Undertaker's mask for Kane's babyface-run mask or atleast copied from it. |

I remember reading something about a One Piece character being based on Mankind, or at least his mask. Looks like that's the fella right there.

I always thought it seemed original, I liked it. I didnt have a clue of Mick Foley before I saw mankind, so I thought he played the part really well.

He wore it there after Sid had broken his nose in kayfabe as part of his pre-WM heel run |
