Were you annoyed when ADR debuted without a mask?

Well the fact that El Generico has never been seeing without his mask it would kill the identity of him (Speaking as a fan btw).

Being completely honest i had never seen or heard of Dos Caras Jr. before he debut in FCW as Alberto (I don't watch Mexican wrestling).

Yeah, I never hear of any luchadores until they are on the WWE radar (or the old WCW Cruiserweight radar). But I'm fairly certain Dos Caras Jr. was always masked. Then again, Alberto is actually a pretty good looking dude, so it worked out well for the WWE.

I feel like, this is how most WWE fans are going to feel about El Generico. Though, I think he should keep the mask, unmasked, I don't think he has any type of worth-while look.

And yes, Dos Caras Jr., was generally always masked until he debuted in FCW as Alberto Banderas.

I think it's largely due to Randy orton's success is why uncle Vince is hesitant to allow young guys who have family heritage use their real names...that and he does'nt own that name. For most people Mike Rotundo is simply I.R.S. but the real wrestling fans know what Mike has accomplished in his fantastic career. I think in the case of Joe Henning using a bit of a spin on Curt's gimmick(who also wasn't allowed to use his real name) would be a great gimmick. After a few acting classes, he could start by saying something about bringing the IC title back to the family.
