CMLL star Ultimo Guerrero posted a message on Facebook addressing issues that came up during his match against Kazuchika Okada on the 6/22 edition of AEW Collision.
Guerrero could be seen constantly checking his mask ahead of the finish, which saw Okada pull the mask off and later knocking it off with a Rainmaker lariat.
The luchador was advertised with a mask on despite losing a Mask vs. Mask match against Atlantis at CMLL’s Aniversario event in September 2014.
Guerrero made note of the situation in his post, which also saw him praising a staff member for putting the mask together on short notice.
a story to tell I came to the dressing room of the recording location for AEW at the collision function unforeseen for me from one day to the next where I had to fight with mask and it turns out I have no masks arriving at the location they realized there is no mask immediately a company worker was ordered to make an unusual mask he made it as he could reflecting the loyalty he has to his work within an hour or so checking and worrying why I looked good. everyone criticizing why he pulls out that mask and I’m thinking about the sacrifice of this person my respect because it’s the work of a great working man of AEW represents my sacrifice and that’s why I put it on and went up with it. sometimes many people do something for us and we do not take them into account with pride I will keep this mask
People in attendance at the taping reportedly saw the mask fall off multiple times throughout the bout, but AEW was able to edit around those mishaps in time for the broadcast on Saturday.
