And Europe regain the Ryder Cup...
Now now... this ain't a Cena thread so don't get excited Ladies and Gents!
It just struck me recently that barring a few obvious examples, there are no
masked/facepainted wrestlers any more.
The ones I can think of, off my head:
Mysterio
Sting
Abyss
Jeff Hardy
Goldust
(ok I cheated and looked tna's roster here)
Kiyoshi
raven
shark boy
suicide
Now that's actually more than I though, but only 9 in total, seven from TNA. And if we're honest here, how many of the above get decent TV time? Probably 4??
Anyway, I've always loved a mysterious figure behind a mask or some cool facepaint - Not too keen on the luchadore look mind you!
When you look back over the years you have, what... LOD, Mankind, Kane, Warrior, umm Doink... ok, i'm running out a bit..
But anyhow, do you think there is a reason why masks and facepaint seem to be on the wane, and who is your favourite masked/painted grappler from wrestling history?
