Mask of the Legendary Wrestler is the name given to the original core set of cards obtainable during the first playthrough of No More Heroes. Each card represents the same thing – the mask of a popular, "legendary" lucha libre wrestler.
After returning to the motel following a successful ranking match, for each trading card collected at the previous venue a lucha libre mask appears in the living room, toilet and bedroom.
