10 Wrestlers Who Were Unmasked In The Ring

10. Juventud Guerrera

The Mexican-born Eduardo Hernández is best known under this moniker - sometimes shortened to "Juvi". An active wrestler for twenty-eight years to the present day, his style was mainly the classic high-flying, energetic style of lucha as he wrestled across most of the major promotions.

Arguably his most famous run or at least the one that brought him to the attention of the widest Western audience was with World Championship Wrestling between 1996 and 2000. He picked up the Cruiserweight Championship for a period and his run with the "Filthy Animals" alongside Rey Mysterio, Kidman and Konnan kept him at the forefront of TV.

It was during the middle of this run in 1998 when Guerrera was unmasked when he lost a mask vs title match to Chris Jericho. This is as good a place as any to point out that WCW in this era seemed to have a strange fascination with making wrestlers lose their masks.

As with a few other entries on this list, they all felt their jobs were at stake if they didn't comply and had a sort of understanding that these un-maskings didn't carry the same weight as they would in the "true" Lucha tradition.
