10 Worst Wrestling Masks
8. Aldo Montoya
Ready, steady, PANTS!
Bruce Prichard once admitted on his podcast that "Portuguese Man O' War" Aldo Montoya was originally supposed to be a European football/soccer player who'd boot balls in-ring. After some deliberation from Vince McMahon and staff, the WWF decided that he should wear something on his face designed to restrict balls instead.
There's no getting around the obvious: Aldo looked for all the world like he'd purchased a bright yellow jock strap from his local sports shop, stuck it over his head and called himself pro wrestler. It was super-hard for anyone, including young children, to take Montoya seriously when he leapt into living rooms on mid-90's TV.
The WWF marketing machine tried their best, but they couldn't convince people that some dude high-fiving ringsiders with a bloody glorified ball cup on his nose deserved cheers. Someone in "creative services" should've taken one look at this, laughed and then said, "Next!".
