Masks (máscaras) have been worn from the early days of lucha libre in the early twentieth century, and have a long history in Mexico, dating back to the Aztecs. To distinguish the wrestler, early masks were quite simple, with only a few colors. Masks are colorfully designed in modern lucha libre to conjure images of animals, gods in Aztec Mythology, ancient heroes, and other archetypes, whose identities the luchador assumes throughout a performance. Almost all wrestlers in Mexico will begin their careers wearing masks, but a considerable majority of them will be unmasked during the course of their careers. A wrestler who is about to retire may be unmasked in his final match or at the start of his final tour, signaling the end of his character’s persona.
Losing the mask can sometimes signal the end of a gimmick, with the wrestler switching to a new gimmick and mask. The mask is revered to such an extent that completely removing an opponent’s mask during a match results in disqualification.
Masked luchadores are frequently seen in public wearing their masks and perpetuating the Lucha Libre culture, while other masked wrestlers mingle with the public and press normally. They will, however, go to considerable measures to hide their true identity; the mask has become synonymous with the luchador. El Santo wore his mask after retirement, only revealing his face in old age, and was buried with his silver mask on.
The masks used by luchadores have recently become famous emblems of Aztec Mexican culture. Wrestler masks are used by contemporary painters like Francisco Delgado and Xavier Garza in their paintings.
Although lucha libre is known for its masks, it is a common misunderstanding that every Mexican wrestler wears one. Tarzán López, Gory Guerrero, Perro Aguayo, and Negro Casas are just a few of the maskless wrestlers that have had success. Formerly masked wrestlers who have shed their masks, like as Satánico, Cien Caras, Cibernético, and others, have continued to compete.
