1968-12-13 hair Arena México El Solitario b Ray Mendoza [hair]
Solitario had his mask on the line. Mendoza was hurt early in the first fall, submitted, and ruled unable to continue. Fans were fine with Mendoza not getting shaved (because he was hurt and he was the tecnicos) but he shaved himself out of respect on the Tuesday. Seen as a big upset and a career defining win for Solitario.

1954-03-28 hair Plaza de Toros el Progreso, Guadalajara, Jalisco Wolf Rubinsky vs Rolando Vera, Arturo García, Gorilla Flores, Joe El Hermoso, Polo Torres, Ray Mendoza, Mr. X [torneo, hair]
the rules of this match – and maybe others ones in future years? – is the winner of a battle royal gets to face Wolf in a modified apuesta match. They’re not wagering anything. Instead, the promotion will put up 1000 pesos against (in this case) Wolf’s hair. If Wolf wins, which almost surely happened, he walks off with the cash.
