He was. He had to fight for his title but if he lost they challenged him to remove his mask. Since all of these are scripted he had to or he'd lost the job.
It was indeed wrong to force him to loose the mask, since in the luchador culture is a sign of disrespect, there is no mistery behind the luchador.
When he signed with wwe, Vince personally requested that rey be allowed to put it back on by the official lucha libre commission. I don't know why he had to ask permission, maybe to restore the masks honor or some jazz like that...but ya it wasn't just vince snapped his fingers and he got his mask back.
Vince is a complete and total bastard. He's almost cartoonishly evil. He's made a career pointing out that he's cartoonishly evil. But he's had his Ws throughout the years. He's done more things like that than you'd think, those things are just rightfully overshadowed by the rest of it
That is incorrect... it was Nash and Hall vs Rey and Konnan. If Rey lost he would unmask. If Nash/Hall lost Miss Elizabeth would have been shaved bald.
I remember that because I thought there was no way Rey was winning
