The use of masks can be traced back to the Maya era. At that time, pantheism believed that everything in nature was the basic belief of God, so people thought that people and animals had the same personality, so almost every Indian went from the witch doctor chief to the poor man wearing a mask. Depicting different shapes on masks, Indians always wear masks on festivals. They believe that wearing masks will give them strength, and masks are necessary in many sacrificial activities. In Lucha Libre, Lucha mask is a symbol of strength and power in Mexican culture, which makes wrestlers become superheroes and gives them higher power than human beings. At first, the players wearing masks in Lucha Libre were called El Enmascarado (masked man), Ireland Cicló n McKey (Irish whirlwind McKey) and La Maravilla Enmascarada (masked Marvel Comics). Early masks only distinguished players by simple basic colors. In modern Lucha Libre, masks often have colorful animals, gods, ancient heroes and other unique patterns, which are mainly used to reflect the identity of Luchadors. Almost all wrestlers in Mexico will start wearing masks, but before the end of their careers, almost all masks will be removed. Sometimes, a wrestler will announce his retirement at the end of the game, take off his mask and end their career. Masked Luchadors will also wear their masks in public during the players' career. If the opponent takes off his mask in the game, it will be regarded as a great shame. In 1950s, Lukacs' culture reached its peak, and a "silver mask saint" appeared. He became Lukacs' greatest star. Originally named Adolfo Gozman Hueta, this "saint" never took off his mask in the competition, and his true identity has always been a mystery in the old society. He died on 1984, and was buried with that silver mask on. He became a hero in comic books, the protagonist in more than 50 films, representing the desire of the oppressed to fight for rights and becoming a hero in people's hearts. Luca has become a symbol of Mexican culture. A wrestler's hood will have Aztec and Louis Vuitton designs. Some contestants even entered the competition under the name of "Nazi Destroyer", wearing crosses on their arms, while others named themselves robot R2 or Altman. Luca has absorbed many international influences, but the sense of ceremony is Mexican. Collecting masks of Ruchadors is also a culture of Rucha fans, so every Ruchador has his own mask design. Even if a Luchador retires or even dies, no other luchadors will use the same mask design, so each mask is almost equal to a luchador's name and mark, just like meeting someone. Every time a Mexican puts on a mask, the world changes. Zorro wears a mask, and Marcos wears a mask. Individuals wear masks, but they represent the majority and look very Mexican. Some famous battles are based on gambling. The most popular and respected is Má scara contra Má scara (mask to mask). Two masked Ruchadors bet with their masks that the loser will be unmasked by the winner, and then his appearance and name will be made public. In the boxing ring, the older the masked wrestler is, the more times he wins and the higher his status. Another famous form is Má scara contra Cabellera (mask to hair), in which the masked Luchador competes with the unmasked Luchador (usually, the unmasked party will compete with the unmasked party again). If the masked Luchador wins, the unmasked party will be shaved as a sign of humiliation. If Luchador wins without a mask, he will keep his hair, and then he can take off his opponent's mask. Two unmasked Luchador will play Cabellera Contra Cabellera, and the loser will have his head shaved. Many players will choose to end their careers after losing these games. Generally, this kind of competition will be grand and the prize money will be great. The party who loses his mask or hair will get a lot of prize money to make up for it. Masks have surpassed Luchador and become a symbol of Mexican and mexican american culture. Contemporary Mexican-American painters Francis delgado and Xavier garza incorporated wrestling masks into their paintings.
