Guest Fook Report post Posted December 21, 2003 Horrible idea. He hasn't been on tv in forever, so the fans won't see this as a big deal because they have no clue who he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2003 Please tell me the Dragon can say no and get released. Cause this is just a joke. Dragon without the mask is just random Japan guy that the WWE can screw up more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2003 Dragon should pull a Nathan Jones and just quit next time WWE goes to Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Last Free Voice Report post Posted December 21, 2003 That would be one of the worst ideas of the year. Dragon isn't one of "their guys" who they can book however they want and not worry about ruining his career because WWE is all there is. Ultimo has a real career and a good one in Japan and Mexico. The Management doesn't have any place to ask him to lose the hood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Corino 1000 Report post Posted December 21, 2003 I dunno if its such a bad idea, Velocity could use a few storylines. A few storylines ok. But Ultimo taking off his mask......Hell no! I mean its Ultimos mask. Jesus this sucks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ligerbomb03 Report post Posted December 21, 2003 This is bullshit. Ultimo Dragon has never taken off his mask, and he shouldn't have to unless it's on his own terms. Obviously someone doesn't understand how important the mask is to a masked wrestler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest StevieNightHeat Report post Posted December 21, 2003 Ultimo lose his mask?....but he wouldn't be Ultimo Dragon without the MASK! can't they have Mysterio lose his mask instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted December 21, 2003 In this weeks issue it says that the wwe has asked for him to lose his mask. Any thoughts? I think Vince is trying to overtake the WCW in stupidity since WCW has already fallen by the wayside buisness wise. Knowing that it wasn't him that drove WCW out of buisness it bothers him to no end so there's only one thing now that he can do which would make him better than the WCW. Show he can run a more idiotic promotion and crush his own organization's throat like a paper cup underneath someone's foot. Chew the remains up, spit them on the ground and than bury the WWE with dirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted December 21, 2003 If WWE force Ultimo Dragon to remove his mask, I will never watch their programming again. I said the same thing when Mr. Perfect beat Kerry Von Erich for the title by cheating and when Bigelow slipped on a bannana peal in the Survivor Series. And I'm still here as that only lasted for a few months or so. Just when you think you're out, you get pulled right back in. Curse Benoit. Curse Eddie. Why couldn't you have just stayed in Japan?

Point noted Plus after how they played up the importance of the mask on the DVD, while ignoring all of the maskless ReyRey era in WCW, I'd say they're not gonna do that anytime soon Provided you actually believe that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But his mask wasn't synonomous with his gimmick, character, and legacy like Ultimo's has. If you believe everything that's ever been said about the legacy of masks in wrestling, the mask is a definitive and tangible extension of the wrestlers themselves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
