Rey Mysterio was forced to unmask in WCW after losing a tag match along with Konnan to the Outsiders at SuperBrawl 9. Had Konnan and Rey Mysterio won, Miss Elizabeth would have lost her hair.
On a recent episode of his “Keepin it 100” podcast, Konnan discussed the angle, what led to it, and his opinion of Mysterio being unmasked in WCW.
“I thought it was stupid and not only that it wasn’t even Nash’s hair, it was Miss Elizabeth’s hair,” Konnan said on the show. “It was just stupid, bro.”
He would continue to talk about what led to Mysterio being unmasked.
“At the end of the day, I think Scott Hall had told them ‘hey, Rey Mysterio is a good looking guy what do you need a mask for?'”
Disco Inferno then chimed in on the subject.
“Eric usually acted on the last thing that he heard. You know, so whoever had Eric’s ear last, that’s what we would do.”
Konnan would continue to say it was a hotly debated issue backstage.
“We got into humungous fights about this. At the end it was more (Bischoff) was just kind of ‘well, f**k it. I decided we are going to do it and that’s all there is to it,” Konnan said.
