Triple H said that he can't believe anyone would put a mask on him, and he could be right. Andrade Almas (Almos? Almas) simply looks like a million bucks, which at current conversion is around £670,000. Almas achieved great success wrestling in Mexico as the masked La Sombra, Spanish for 'The Shadow'. He made is debut in 2003 and is a third generation superstar.

Almas actually lost his mask before coming to WWE, losing a Luchas de Apuestas against Atlantis in September 2015. He also experienced success in Japan, winning New Japan Pro Wrestling's Intercontinental Championship while wowing audiences in the Land of the Rising Sun.

It may be a little too early to go all-in on this, but without the mask Andrade Almas could go on to have a long successful career in World Wrestling Entertainment. He is supremely marketable, after all.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
