Last night, the Los Angeles Angels baseball team had the best promotion ever. They gave away wrestling masks to every single fan in attendance to set the Guinness World Record for the “largest gathering of people wearing costume masks.” Fuck yeah, Angels! And fuck yeah Guinness for tracking this as a World Record! I am definitely a fan of any organization that promotes masked Mexican wrestling.
Now people are buzzing about this sweet promotion and how badly they want one of these masks.
The Angels fans in attendance put on their masks to start the fifth inning and the stadium scoreboard began a 10-minute countdown where fans had to wear their masks. How many of the 40,000 were turned on at this point?
While most fans were into it and threw on the mask, there were some fans who refused to put theirs on (lame-ohs!). Still, after 10 minutes, the Angels were able to set the record. (Hopefully this promotion wasn’t meant to signify that they’re hiding their faces, embarrassed to be Angels fans…)
I like it when you’re out in public or watching some sporting event and spot a dude in the crowd wearing a wrestling mask. Nice. How cool would it be to witness a stadium full of 40,000 people, all showing off their beautiful freaky masks?
By wearing a wrestling mask in public, it’s like a guy is announcing to the world: “Yes, I love rassling and I wish I was a rassler. And I know you love it too and wish you had the balls to wear an awesome mask like this.” It’s like he’s advertising for matches, looking for other wrestling fans in the crowd who get it, are into it, and want to wrestle him. I can just imagine the comments and proposals a guy would receive when walking around decked out in a colorful spandex mask.
How awesome is it that the Angels organization is acknowledging that pro wrestling exists, and that wrestling masks are cool and that the fans would get off on them? They must really love their fans to give each one a mask to take home in order to check himself out shirtless in the mirror and dream.
To prove how popular the Angels wrestling masks are, go check them out on Ebay. They are selling for $5 to $15 a piece, and dozens of people are bidding on each one. It seems there may be more pro wrestling lovers out there than we thought, especially the kinky ones who like to go around wearing masks.
How great would it be if wrestling masks became a regular part of our wardrobe, an accessory you picked out each morning to match your outfit like your necktie. You could sport a colorful Technico mask on days when you’re feeling happy and positive, and a black Rudos mask on days when you’re feeling ornery and vicious. It sure would be nice when you have a blemish or a bad hair day to lace on a wrestling mask and go about your business.
In honor of the Angels’ great idea for a giveaway, here are some more images of regular guys willing to let their Freak Flag Fly and walk around in public sporting a sexy pro wrestling mask…
So don’t be shy. Bring your secret fetish out into the light of day. Get some wrestling masks and feel free to wear them every day — on the bus to work, to Church or a meeting, while strolling on the beach or taking your dog for a walk, with or without your shirt. Let’s have a wrestling mask revolution! Sure, some people will think it’s a little sketchy, but plenty of other people will know that it’s hot.
