10 Wrestlers That Stole Others Wrestler's Masks

5. Kevin Nash (Rey Mysterio)

Back to the torture of poor Rey Mysterio, but this time with the possibility of permanent ramifications.

The size discrepancy between Kevin Nash and the 'Biggest Little Man' had long been established thanks to the famous scene that found 'Big Sexy' launch Mysterio like a lawn dart into a production truck at Nitro. The moment was allegedly powerful enough for the locals to call the police, but few were as invested when Nash committed a far greater atrocity at SuperBrawl IX.

After defeating Mysterio and Konnan in a Hair Vs Tag match alongside Scott Hall, Nash appeared the next night on Nitro mocking the lucha legend by offering him the mask back because "it didn't fit". Triggering Rey with such a knowing sh*theel move cost him - Mysterio became the "giant killer" after beating Big Sexy in the impromptu match that followed.

It didn't go all the way to fixing the decision to remove it in the first place, but a collector's item job by the Wolfpac gaffer was just about the best possible make good.
