nate Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I would take a plain mask and add a unique emblem or logo to it. I did that for a vest I always wear. I want to make a mask, but money is never freed up. The route I'm going is getting someone to buy the material to my specifications. That way, I might be able to squirrel away enough to do something of my own. My last post is on the cusp, though, of inspiring me to kill all other responsibilities, for the sake of firing up the N64 and running a No Mercy CAW best of 7 between El Rejeccione and Stone Cold Steve Autism. The wrestling would probably be so-so (**1/2 at best), but the promos would be fucking a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 There is a guy who does custom mask online. But they are in the eighty dollar range. Which for the work done is perfectly reasonable. But is still steep for a mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hey guys (and some gals, maybe):Really could use some help and feedback. I've lately been tasked by a friend to make his son a lucha mask. His key instructions are: He wants it to be cool-looking, and he wants it to be original. Which means that pre-existing character masks are off-limits; explicitly he wants a novelty Halloween item for this year, but then for other mortality/morbid reasons, he wants something to hang onto for a conversation piece, memorial type thing (I've been a bit sick as of late, then a lot of people around me have tendencies to freak out to extremes).Jeez, all that to say this: what goes in to making a good mask? The best are either extremely well designed and ornate, or extremely spartan in design. I'm going with a Santo mask as a template, but then, what the hell? Tailor something toward the personality of the wearer, go with mythology, or ...? I've spent all weekend looking at color theory, as well as tiki mythology for inspiration.Shit's more difficult than you'd think, this "art" stuff. I could just make an Ultimo Dragon mask with some different pattern, but now, that half-assing shit won't do.Anyway, it's a thing I'd like some insights into, so anyone putting in their two cents, I'll be appreciative. I won't be all El Rejecione if this thing post collects dust here 'til October, either; I should do my own work ... Don't overthink it. Choose a style you like, find some cool material, and pick an element/motif/symbol for yourself and one for the wearer and just do it. Get started ASAP as they are trickier to make than one would think. Mask-making is a real craft and designing them is an art, but this is a personal gift so your effort and the heart will show through. tiki motif sounds fun, RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 NoDQ.com > WWE > Jericho Reveals Original Plans for CM Punk Feud Posted by Steve Carrier on 09/16/2013 at 01:11 PM Chris Jericho recently spoke with Arda Ocal about facing CM Punk at WrestleMania 28 and his original idea for the feud. "I wanted to tattoo my initials on him [Punk], which Vince [McMahon] loved and approved," Jericho said, noting later that it would have been a legitimate tattoo. "It came down to the wire, and someone told him that when you tattoo somebody it bleeds and he got all angry at that. He [Vince] also said, he's [Punk] already got so many tattoos, what's one more going to do? I said, 'you don't understand, a tattoo is a personal choice.' It's like a girl that has a lascivious lifestyle and has sex every night, that's her choice... but if someone rapes her, that's wrong. Same with tattooing, I tattoo my initials on him, he's got a thousand, but he's still going to always see that in the mirror. Vince didn't like it, so we kind of had to sit down and literally right before the show where we were going to do the tattooing, we kind of went into the whole Punk's dad is an alcoholic issue." Jericho also mentioned that Punk loved the tattooing storyline and that they were both disappointed when it was nixed. http://nodq.com/wwe/381358226.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Can someone tell me what the deal with Freight Train and 5 Dollar wrestling is? I checked Google and could not get a clear answer. Im on the fence as to how "in on it" Freight Train is. Sometimes I watch it and feel sorry for him and think Jake and Colt are dicks for poking fun at him. Sometimes I watch it and think, Im being worked here, he's totally in on the joke. Then I cant decide if he's either the greatest actor or the worst wrestler. Cant believe Vader Junior has been released. Wonder if Big Poppa Vader will get a Tweet to attend Raw next week! They also released that weird looking Irish guy after like 1 month! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wrestled a some matches with his old man there in Zero-1 and the Vader Time shows. I wasn't expecting much when I saw his FCW look: He looks like a hitchhiker that's about to rape you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked with Freight Train before, and I always got the impression that he knew what was going on. He's just so happy to be there, it doesn't really matter to him. He loves wrestling, he's having a blast, and I never once got the feeling he thought he was being taken advantage of. Jake loves the guy, FWIW. He's with him at all times, and makes sure he's taken care of in the ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing it is something he said on Twitter but who knows. I'm thinking it had something to do with his brother, the recently released Briley Pierce, going onto Twitter and causing a stink about how awful Bill Demott is as a trainer. IIRC, he said Demott hurt a bunch of guys intentionally and sexually harassed a bunch of the developmental girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
