Kevin Nash reveals he decided to unmask Rey Mysterio in WCW

Summary

Kevin Nash stated in the latest episode of his "Kliq This" podcast that he was responsible for the decision to unmask Rey Mysterio during their time in WCW. Nash explained that the idea stemmed from a marketing perspective, as he believed Mysterio could be more marketable without his mask, particularly for an ad campaign in Times Square. Mysterio, however, has criticized the decision, claiming it adversely affected him and other luchadores, suggesting it was a misstep by WCW management. The unmasking took place at SuperBrawl IX after Mysterio lost a tag match against Nash and Scott Hall.
