I second this fear and raise you anger lol. I was sitting on my couch like "damn Adam Blampied. How dare he take time off. Back to work dickhead". But then I saw this, so all is forgiven. But seriously, don't you ever leave us again you F@#$%*. I kid I kid
"Here's a wrestler who's a dragon." Intrigued... "He's feuding with someone who has hunted every animal that lives, and now wants to hunt a dragon." ...hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng And thus: my love affair with Lucha Underground began.
This is the truest statement I ever read. Don't forget about the demon vs the dragon vs the fucking immortal bird. That match is how I fell in love with LU.
Man is it good to hear Blampied’s voice! I missed watching wrestling videos have the charisma and passion Adam carries. Didn’t know he came back to UA-cam, but man am I happy he is!
I actually prefer Kanes late '99 to 01 mask, only difference being that it's much darker red. I think he started wearing his gear with mesh cutouts in the chest slashes around the same time, like late 99 to his 01 switch to the tank top. Just minor changes but IMO they looked way better and the darker mask along with the shadow the brow cast, plus being built like a monster truck, THAT Kane looked legit scary
I remember seeing Ultimo Dragon at my very first ever live wrestling show in WCW. I was like 6 or 7 at the time. Masked marvels like him, Rey, Psicosis, La Parka and others made me believe the superheroes I loved in Marvel & DC were real. P.S. - I love, Love, LOVE the fighting game references.
This was an absolutely wholesome and enjoyable list, with the perfect top spot, Adam. Always love your work, and loved that message near the end. Jam that jam and keep on being awesome.
So many loved Mr W2 and his mask. I love the story of when he was pitched wearing one. At his age, no one would believe an old wrestler could be the chief baby face. Two was ready to retire as a mid card, but boom, on went the mask and he carried it into wrestling history. I’m not sure exactly when, but I think he finally let people see him maskless in his 90 in his Hawaiian territory.
I know it's not that impressive in the grand scheme of things But I absolutely adore Luchasaurus' whole get up with the mask and the green tongue. He sells it so well.
I loved the classic Kane mask, but I always thought the 2nd classic mask with the visible mouth also looked cool. This worst thing they did was take off Kane's mask, & like in the video. Let's not talk about the Demon Kane mask.
Him missing last years super juniors broke my heart. When he made his return at the end of the year put a smile on my face. His injury did give us Douki. I think both are underrated wrestlers. Ichiban!
Rey Mysterio, Mankind, and Pentagon all have my all-time favorite masks and The Fiend’s mask is an honorable mention for me because I think it’s awesome how it was made by Tom Savini
Fun fact: Mankind's mask also appears in the world's most popular comic book (or more specifically, manga), One Piece, but is worn by boisterous but stupid boss of a government organization. The series is actually rife with wrestling reference if you look closely enough, mostly pertaining to japanese wrestling in the late 80s and 90s when the author grew up.
I don’t know, I think putting El Santo and La Parca among others on this list called „coolest masks“ is a bit of a stretch. Sure the mask might well be iconic or influential, but El Santos mask for example is as basic as it gets, so I think it shouldn’t be on this list when many much less important masks look much cooler imo Great video as always though, your comments are consistently hilarious
It may have been short lived, but I REALLY liked The Undertakers mask he had to wear briefly in the 90s. Devoid of much expression and color it's just... Creepy. And I loved it. Had they dressed him a little darker during that time and not in fucking purple, I think it could've been kinda cool to keep around.
Matanza Cueto's mask is freaking great. I like Luchasaurus Mask and from my local scene I like Hunter's entrance mask and the Brody Lovis Masks (Platino and Siniestro). I use a half mask for entrances when I wrestle and I have a new full bizarre mask ready for when Covid ends and we have new events
One thing that I always wondered is why no one ever really mentioned that Dario Cueto of Lucha Underground is the actor who was on a lot of episodes of Punk'd from the mid-2000's, his name is Luis Fernandez-Gil.
Name your favourite masks BELOW!! Do it now!!
Gotta be Jushin Thunder Liger!
We want curry man.
Pentagon Jr. Old Kane. 2003 pre mask off Kane. 👍🏾
Gotta be Drago (Lucha Underground). That is one BAD ASS mask. :)
Curry man
30 seconds into the video and Adam already rants about his boss who couldn’t recognize the difference between giant Gonzalez and Mantaur’s gear
ADAM: I just... I just can’t ...
Speaking of Mantaur: HOW DARE HE NOT BE NUMBER ONE THIS LIST IS INVALID.
Thank you.
This list just makes me want a Blampied retrospective on Lucha Underground all the more.
I second that
X3
Amen. LU is 100% responsible for my interest in wrestling today.
I 4th that.
🤞
Can we get a top ten of the Greatest Wrestling Entrance Music? Love the see you're back Adam.
might wanna check cultaholic's tier-list vids for that ;P
Number one should be Kane or the Undertaker
That's going to be a hard one to make interesting without actually being able to play the music that they're ranking.
I've done a video about that :d
That’s too subjective
I got so scared when this man didn't release a list for the past 2 weeks
But I'm so glad the Legend is back
Much love from S.A
I second this fear and raise you anger lol. I was sitting on my couch like "damn Adam Blampied. How dare he take time off. Back to work dickhead". But then I saw this, so all is forgiven. But seriously, don't you ever leave us again you F@#$%*. I kid I kid
He released some videos on the PartsFunknown channel though?
Shockmaster: **crying botched entrance music**
"Here's a wrestler who's a dragon."
Intrigued...
"He's feuding with someone who has hunted every animal that lives, and now wants to hunt a dragon."
...hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng
And thus: my love affair with Lucha Underground began.
This is the truest statement I ever read. Don't forget about the demon vs the dragon vs the fucking immortal bird. That match is how I fell in love with LU.
That's always the first thing I bring up when trying to convince someone to watch Lucha Underground
Matanza's mask is the greatest example of scariness through subtlety I've ever seen
I think it's the implication that the mask isn't to protect him, or to hide his identity, but to help restrain him and protect the world _from_ him.
@@ArcaneAzmadi that was the original meaning behind Kane's mask after all
It's crazy that both Jushin "Thunder" Liger AND The Undertaker retired the SAME YEAR.
Is a good fact
What? No Shockmaster?! I kid. Every time I say that name out loud I can't help but laugh.
Stormtrooper helmet glue-dipped in a tub of Sequint? Thanks, but no thanks.
💀
Tazerface
*Starts the list with El Santo*
This is a good list
*Ends with JTL*
This is a Perfect List
If any Top 10 list starts with El Santo, you know it’s an important list :)
The Fiend, Kane, and Pentagon Jr's masks are awesome
Mention Curry Man, but not Shark Boy? What a snub
Also shout out King Cuernos entrance deer.
Man is it good to hear Blampied’s voice! I missed watching wrestling videos have the charisma and passion Adam carries. Didn’t know he came back to UA-cam, but man am I happy he is!
* Ultimo Guerrero
* Dr Wagner Jr.
* Mil Mascaras
* Canek.
Si dejo un chingo fuera
Mil mascaras de hecho se me hizo medio culero dejarlo a el afuera
No acabariamos
Recuerda que este video es desde el punto de vista del wrestling o lucha libre extranjera, no hay que ser tan duros con ellos jajaja
Matanza looks like a stout Bane in a prison garb, he's that damn good and that damn scary. Rip Lucha Underground.
It's not the mask that scares me, it's the look in his eyes. Matanza looks like he could kill everybody in the room with his bare hands alone.
When Adam tried to trick us with El Fakador Lori Blake I chuckled.
I lost it when he named el fakidor being #1
“Could it have been anyone else? Yes.”
I thought "Who the fuck?" and then the real #1 is announced.
"Go, Kane the Power Ranger! Let's fighting love"
Taisetsu na mono; PROTECT MY BALLS!!!
HEY HEY LET'S GO KENA SURU
Og Kane will always have the best mask imo.
I really liked Jeff Hardy's Willow mask and his metal mask he wore in his entrance.
Same
You are the smartest
I actually have a replica of the Willow mask and I love it.
@@ShyBiiteVT lucky
I actually prefer Kanes late '99 to 01 mask, only difference being that it's much darker red. I think he started wearing his gear with mesh cutouts in the chest slashes around the same time, like late 99 to his 01 switch to the tank top. Just minor changes but IMO they looked way better and the darker mask along with the shadow the brow cast, plus being built like a monster truck, THAT Kane looked legit scary
Watching this list makes me miss lucha underground. The greatest cliffhanger ever in wrestling at the end of season 4
Mannnn I wish Kane would wear that Embrace the Hate Mask more. It was so dope and it’s a crime it hasn’t returned at all
I remember seeing Ultimo Dragon at my very first ever live wrestling show in WCW. I was like 6 or 7 at the time.
Masked marvels like him, Rey, Psicosis, La Parka and others made me believe the superheroes I loved in Marvel & DC were real.
P.S. - I love, Love, LOVE the fighting game references.
This was an absolutely wholesome and enjoyable list, with the perfect top spot, Adam.
Always love your work, and loved that message near the end.
Jam that jam and keep on being awesome.
The Fiend Mask and Gimmick is Amazing along with Old Kane Mask!
So many loved Mr W2 and his mask. I love the story of when he was pitched wearing one. At his age, no one would believe an old wrestler could be the chief baby face. Two was ready to retire as a mid card, but boom, on went the mask and he carried it into wrestling history. I’m not sure exactly when, but I think he finally let people see him maskless in his 90 in his Hawaiian territory.
5 seconds in.
Adam: "Curryman"
Me: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that Matanza's mask ranked so high. Still one of the best debuts ever.
I know it's not that impressive in the grand scheme of things
But I absolutely adore Luchasaurus' whole get up with the mask and the green tongue. He sells it so well.
So happy we got another Adam vid!!!!
Kane in his prime had the best masks. I love Rey Mysterio's iconic masks as well.
Kane had the best mask? Lol that's funny
@@onemuststand7353 According to this list, Kane's mask is top 3 so its not funny at all.
Akio Furukawa go watch 1998 clips on UA-cam
3:42 isn't it just lovely to have Adam back.
5:27 also Armor King from Tekken is based on Black Tiger
Is Black Tiger different from Dark? I know Dark Tiger 1 was Roccerball Romero I think
I always hear " thats gotta be kane!!!" Everytime I see the classic Kane
I loved the classic Kane mask, but I always thought the 2nd classic mask with the visible mouth also looked cool. This worst thing they did was take off Kane's mask, & like in the video. Let's not talk about the Demon Kane mask.
KupusSJ that’s you and me both bro
With out a doubt Vinces best call in the history of his commentary career.
@@pinball541 Yeah The Old Kane Mask is Supposed to be Like a Superhero\Villain Like Character mask.along with his Costume
Been a while since the last list, Adam, glad to see a new one!
One of the coolest entrance masks to me was Wrath's first gimmick in WCW, it looked less like a mask and like a warlord's helmet.
Please make a list for the best wrestling face paint. My personal favorite is Doink, Goldust and the ultimate warrior.
Do a list on face paint wrestlers!
Papa shango
Omg you know how to cure my wrestling fix.. Love everyone here on Wrestletalk and continue the awesome content!
I don’t care what anyone says. El Desperado’s is my favorite in wrestling today.
I know. Despy's evokes close to what Penta does, but both the ones with & whitout mouth protection mixes amazing with his white contacts.
SUZUKI GUN ICHIBAN
Him missing last years super juniors broke my heart. When he made his return at the end of the year put a smile on my face. His injury did give us Douki. I think both are underrated wrestlers. Ichiban!
Despy is one sneaky bastard and I love it. XD
This is all time tho, take that into consideration. Gotta respect what led to what you love
Rey Mysterio has so many masks, they are their own Pokemon game. Mysterio Masks: Gotta Catch 'em All
No Mil Mascaras!,!!!???? A man in the Hall of Fame with literally the word “mask” in his name?
But then they'd have to bring up his nephew Dos Caras Jr (Alberto Del Rio/El Patron).
A wrestler in Puerto Rico by the name "Espectro" builds his own masks. They look really good and he drinks beer on a full face mask.
Damn, I miss Lucha Underground.
Rey Mysterio, Mankind, and Pentagon all have my all-time favorite masks and The Fiend’s mask is an honorable mention for me because I think it’s awesome how it was made by Tom Savini
4:03 you could’ve mentioned the Bone Soldier Reborn Ishimori’s mask
Because the original one was better.
It's reborn
taiji is a beast!!!
@@outlawrip-offartist4161 really captain fucking new japan
@@brunitodmencia I need to see that okada match
That description of Vader's mask was absolutely perfect, can't unsee that now
Damn this made me miss Lucha Underground
Willow: Cries in black and white dub-rock music while cackling like the madman his masks wearer is
THE SHOCKMASTER???
I’m just glad hayabusa(RIP)got mentioned,He’s too underrated,The Phoenix will rise again
4:12
Damnit adam do your homework
Those first two were the 2nd triple a version of la parka that passed away NOT the original parka from wcw
Never in a million years thought I would hear a Virtua Fighter reference, but hell yeah! Awesome video, great list, and Ollie, how could you?!
Jeff Hardy alterego Willow, now thats a cool mask
Pentagon has blown my mind since Lucha Underground
Can Sting wearing Sting's mask be an honorable mention? I feel like that should be an honorable mention.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Classic
Okay, i didnt know El Santo was buried with his mask on. Thats really badass ngl
Oli cant jam that jam
Couldn't get a minute into this without laughter. 😂😂 True blessings. 😂
Always loved Super Dragon's mask
Fun fact: Mankind's mask also appears in the world's most popular comic book (or more specifically, manga), One Piece, but is worn by boisterous but stupid boss of a government organization. The series is actually rife with wrestling reference if you look closely enough, mostly pertaining to japanese wrestling in the late 80s and 90s when the author grew up.
Adam is such a good writer and such a good talker as well
The way he describes things and his metaphors are so good
What a human 👍🏼
Tetsuya naito's masks are hella sick too! His WK 12 entrance mask is the one I'm making!
Rey's mask has a CROSS, not a "crucifix." A crucifix is a cross with Jesus dying on it.
Whatever it's close enough
So good to see u back, Plumpy!
I missed adam
Pentagon Jr, Bandido, and 1997 Kane are my top 3 favorite masks in wrestling.
Bandido is a great shout.
I don’t know, I think putting El Santo and La Parca among others on this list called „coolest masks“ is a bit of a stretch. Sure the mask might well be iconic or influential, but El Santos mask for example is as basic as it gets, so I think it shouldn’t be on this list when many much less important masks look much cooler imo
Great video as always though, your comments are consistently hilarious
Glad you're back Adam
Rey Mysterio broke Lucha Libre rules by wearing his mask in the US where he lost it to Kevin Nash in WCW! #Shame!
Great content
If you're not first you're last!
Ricky Bobby!
Dear infant Baby Jesus...in your golden fleece diapers...not being able to say a word, but still omnipotent.
Girl in Kane's Ear: IT'S TIME KANE GO HURT YOUR OPPONENTS!
Kane: SAY NO MORE👹💀👹
Isn't it surprising how wwe somehow managed to find a way to ruin the fiend. Its actually quiet impressive.
The *feud* between Adam & Oli is precious...
Hi Adam, you should do top 10 pre-match video packages in wwe history (like rock vs austin at WM X-7 or hbk vs taker at WM 26)
Ever since Liger retired life got weird real quick, like this is the wrong timeline
Wow all of them were F**king Amazing, Awesome, Jaw Dropping 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️
I was ready to complain that you didn't include the Ultimo Dragon!! Haha!
For just a second, I genuinely believed that El Fakidor was No.1 😂🤣 Good on you Adam; jam that jam.
So good to hear Adam again
A birthday list for masks? I love it!!
I like how he says El Santo is "currently" buried in the mask. Like they're planning a heist.
Dude lol I love your wrestling talk its informative and funny lmao
Very good list. Loved it.
Matanza reminds me of what happens if Jason Voorhees was a wrestler. Adam I think I just made you even MORE scared of that mask 😂
Pentagon Jr's mask looks like Noob Saibot from Mortal Kombat decided to become a Mexican luchador.
Love the shoutouts to Lucha Underground in this video. Definitely my favorite promotion when it was alive
Who is that at 4:31 with the wolf or coyote mask and Native head dress? Its awesone!!!
Absolutely wonderful video
Penta is honestly my favorite. It's so well-done, combined with the makeup it's amazing.
Kendo Nagasaki will always be one of my favourites! I remember watching him as a kid, he was amazing!!
Nice list.Adam
I've missed you so much😤
It may have been short lived, but I REALLY liked The Undertakers mask he had to wear briefly in the 90s. Devoid of much expression and color it's just... Creepy. And I loved it. Had they dressed him a little darker during that time and not in fucking purple, I think it could've been kinda cool to keep around.
Glad to see you Adam
Now I need to rewatch Lucha Underground. I think I'll start with the one where Anjeloco jumps off Darios office.
Matanza Cueto's mask is freaking great. I like Luchasaurus Mask and from my local scene I like Hunter's entrance mask and the Brody Lovis Masks (Platino and Siniestro). I use a half mask for entrances when I wrestle and I have a new full bizarre mask ready for when Covid ends and we have new events
