Total fuckin' silence.
Thanks for the answers. I guess they just have "go away heat" with me as they say in wrestling and I just don't get it, but it wouldn't be the first thing.

Freakshow fights sell tickets regardless of if the ending is determined in the ring or predredetermined like boxing.

What are the coolest wrestling masks? The Sin Cara mask without the eyeholes was cool but I can imagine it was annoying to wrestle in.

Will accept Vader's power armour as an answer.

Jyushin Thunder Liger, Hayabusa, Tiger Mask, Great Sasuke, various Great Muta masks down the years.

I’m not knowledgeable on Lucha but I can add that few things look cooler than a luchador in a three-piece suit and mask.

Black Taurus has an awesome mask that seems really uncomfortable to wrestle in and I don't know how he manages it. I also really like LA Park's mask. Liger is definitely in the conversation too.

Nothing's better than postin' in the morning!



Super Dragon, Ophidian, and Tinieblas are favorites.





And of course, my favorite boy, Ultramantis Black. He has a lot of great variations but my favorite was always the simple black-and-white.

Ultimo Dragon and Tiger Mask are easy favorites. Rey Mysterio is up there purely because of how many different variations of it there have been.

Supér Calo has a mask with sunglasses and a backwards Kangol hat, it doesn’t get much cooler than that

Actually this reminds me Drago's mask was (is? idk what he's up to) cool as poo poo.

Mutoh dropping the facepaint and wearing masks instead when he was playing Muta was such a great decision.

The one good thing about the final season of Chikara was One-Eyed Jack's mask.



Looked cool on its own, but was really unsettling to see when he was wrestling.

I recently discovered the Observer Rewinds 92-01 and loved reading through those.

The brother who did them mentions on that fellow redditor did the same for 80's observers and another one did for the MMA ones.

I could not find them on google, so my questions is are they still available and did somebody make them in epub format?

Love reading them on my ebook reader

How many Good/Popular tag teams have split up and both members had successful careers after? The first one that pops into my head is Edge and Christian, though Christian's took a bit longer I think. The Hardy's, probably? The definition of successful can be pretty nebulous in wrestling so I leave it up to the responder.
