10 Worst Wrestling Masks

1. The Shockmaster

Nothing will ever top this.

Say what you like about almost every other mask on this list, but at least they were original creations. WCW's grand plan for The Shockmaster was to repurpose an old Stormtrooper helmet from Star Wars, stick loads of glitter on it and pretend that Fred Ottman was the next big thing in wrestling.

Big Shocker would've flopped anyway had he not fallen through a wall and flat on his face. Keep in mind that he was wearing dad jeans on his bottom half. Couldn't they have tried to jazz him up a bit, or did the props department blow their budget on all that glitter? It was like Ottman was wearing tin foil on his noggin.

It was also so obvious that he was wearing a Stormtrooper hand-me-down, and that sucked too. Imagine someone bought Batman's cowl from The Dark Knight Rises, rolled it in paint and glitter, stuck it on some wrestler and then passed it off as must-see. That's maybe an extreme example, but you get the point.
