WCW, 1997; Eddie poses as a masked jobber called “El Caliente” and attempts to unmask Rey Mysterio Jr. in what should have been a squash match in the first hour of Nitro
I was watching this match live on TV and I think I caught onto the ruse at about the same time as the arena crowd, who started chanting “Eddie!” before Rey unmasked him and revealed his identity. This match happened just a week or two after Bill Goldberg’s debut, so it was entirely plausible at the time that this was another anonymous guy who was about to shock the world of wrestling.
