Removing opponent's mask in-match: instant DQ (one of Lucha Libre's most sacred rules — only special máscara contra máscara matches can strip masks); Hitting referee: DQ + suspension; Outside interference: DQ for the benefiting wrestler
Why people argue about this
People often assume that removing an opponent's mask in Lucha Libre matches is just a playful move for show, thinking it won't result in disqualification. However, they misunderstand that Section 7 clearly states this action results in immediate disqualification (DQ), overriding all other rules and making the match over immediately.
