10 Wrestlers That Were Better Off Without The Mask

1. Alberto Del Rio

John 'Bradshaw' Layfield isn't lying when he refers to Alberto Del Rio as Mexican wrestling royalty. ADR is the son of the legendary Dos Caras (Spanish for 'Two Faces'), who experienced a whole host of success in various promotions in the 1970s and 80s. He is also the nephew of WWE Hall of Famer Mil Mascaras, arguably the most iconic of all luchadores and the first masked wrestler to perform in Madison Square Garden.

Before coming to World Wrestling Entertainment, Del Rio wrestled under the name Dos Caras Jr., following in the footsteps of his family complete with masked identity. After signing with WWE in 2010 Del Rio wrestled a number of matches in developmental under the hood, before reverting to the character we know and love today ahead of his move to the main roster.

Much like Andrade Almas, Del Rio has such a marketable face that it is difficult to understand why he ever performed under a mask, tradition and family aside. One of the best parts of the Del Rio character is his facial expressions, the look of a man who quite clearly has it all and isn't shy of telling the world.

It is simply unthinkable that Del Rio would have experienced the success he has in WWE if he'd been masked.
