Rey Mysterio talks about 1999 mask vs hair match

In the later part of the show, Rey Mysterio remembered the 1999 SuperBrawl IX event in WCW where he and Konnan lost to Kevin Nash and Scott Hall in a hair vs mask match. After the match, Rey Mysterio had to remove his mask and show his face to the whole world. Because a mask is essential for a luchador’s identity, Mysterio had to seek permission from the official Lucha Libre Commission to wear it again. However, at the Bump, Rey Mysterio revealed that he will put his mask on the line again if necessary.
