[DarKCentaur]

[Xero]

As a child his brother scared him one Halloween with a lucha mask. Ever since then he has a hatred for all face-covering items.

[kareru]

[Favre4Ever]

[Droford]

Easy E obviously subscribes to the theory that everyone wears a mask, metaphorically speaking...no need for the physical mask then.

[Spaff]

I miss Eddie.

when you dont see him for a while you actually forget how he had it all





I miss Eddie

[Sixx]

Ugh, why do people keep calling him Easy E?

Wasn't it actually Kane's idea to get rid of the mask?

I'm sure I read it somewhere that Kane said in an interview that he got rid of the mask because he couldn't breathe properly with it on and that he wanted to show more emotions and he couldn't really do that if he had a mask as most emotions are portrayed through the eyes.

agreed. Him not able to breath properly is the reason he changed it in 2002 to have the mouth/nose open

[Rollermacka]

Ugh, why do people keep calling him Easy E?

Because he also has AIDS? :shifty:




Yea, I know I'm goin to hell for that one

[Kane Knight]

OMG, does he have a Kane Mask Tattoo too?

[FourFifty]

OMG, does he have a Kane Mask Tattoo too?

Well since someone had to make the comment, I'm glad it's you.

[Sixx]

Why?

Eazy E was a cool motherfucker, in spite of being black.

[screech]

When I first read the title of this thread, I thought it was: "Eric Bischoff hates marks."

That is all I have to add.

[Gray]

Going in for a small bump here! Guess he wants to stay masked!

La Parka :lol:

[tjmidnight420]

What's up with the bumping of old threads lately?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Well, on one hand I get the anti-mask argument. How many masked boxers, mma stars, football players, soccer players etc. do you see in the legitimate world of competitive sports?

[The Pope]

Pro wrestlers

[Fox]

Remember when Kevin Nash and Scott Hall beat Konnan and Mysterio in a tag match and Rey had to take off his mask? And then on Nitro Nash comes out wearing the fucking mask.

[Jeritron]

metaphoricaly speaking

[Damian Rey]

True, but on the other hand, unlike WCW, how much money has Vince and co. made whoring out Rey Mysterio and his mask as a merchandising investment.

While the cruiserweights in WCW were awesome to watch, the fact that they had so many masked wrestlers dilluted the possible mega bucks they could've been making by having the mask wrestler persona seem exclusive.

Rey's mask is a huge money maker. If TNA could actually sign a luchador worth a damn with a maketable look and mask, they could both market to a specific demographic and bring in new fans with merchandising, ala Mysterio in WWE.
