Dominik Mysterio reveals why he does not wear a mask

Wearing a mask is a Lucha Libre tradition. However, despite being a luchador, Dirty Dom does not wear a mask. He has explained his reason for not following the tradition.

During his interview with The West Sport, The "Dirty" Dom revealed that initially, he wanted to wear a mask. However, his sudden debut did not give him enough time. Mysterio further claimed to be too good-looking to wear a mask as he mocked luchadores by saying they only wear masks because they're not good-looking.

"I'm way too good-looking. A lot of Luchadores wear masks because they are not good-looking dudes. There is a vignette that Eddie Guerrero does back in WCW where someone stole his wallet. And he lines up every Luchador in WCW and makes everyone take off their masks. His facial reactions to all these guys, he's scared because all these guys are hideous. And my dad included, and Dragon Lee. So that's a big reason why I don't wear a mask. I feel like I'm just the hair, and I'm good-looking. It takes away from it all," he said.

Dominik Mysterio is scheduled to team up with Santos Escobar to take on the team of Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee at The Show of Shows this weekend. For those unaware, the WWE Hall of Famer defeated his son in a singles match at WrestleMania 39.
