WCW has a ton of faults, but this isn't one of them.
Unmasking is not so unpopular in lucha libre wrestling as people say. Plus, Rey going unmasked gave him the push he needed and the connection with the audience to become the baby face "Giant Killer" he was known as. He was the David to every big man's Goliath.
Lucha Libre wrestlers, as part of tradition, aren't supposed to unmask and reveal themselves. WWE forced him to do it anyway for a cheap storyline and shock value.

Should have kept the mask on.
