Fuego Del Sol reveals why he started wearing a mask
AEW star Fuego Del Sol, in an appearance on AEW Unrestricted, revealed why he started wearing a mask to the ring. Del Sol revealed that his mentors asked him to wear a mask so that the fans wouldn't be too bothered about his size. Fuego added that his mentors found his movement similar to WWE legend Rey Mysterio, one of the AEW star's idols.
"They looked at me and looked at my size, I was even smaller then than I am now, I started when I was 17 of 18 years old. They way I moved, they said that reminded them of a young Rey Mysterio. I’ve always been a giant fan of Rey Mysterio and they said, if you want to do this, you need to do it right, let me put you in a mask, it will hide your size, it will add a different element for people to focus on instead of your size." said Fuego Del Sol.
