WOLVES fans celebrated the gowning glory for Nuno Espirito Santo's incredible season by wearing Sin Cara masks today - as the Mexican wrestler looked on.
And as boss Santo was made an honorary doctorate of sport by the local uni, other supporters made it a hat-trick of special outfits - wearing sombreros to salute WWE star Sin Cara and his famous masked imitator, Wolves' Mexican striker Raul Jiminez.
Santo earned his high-brow qualification after guiding Wolves to a seventh-placed finish, having taken them up as Championship winners last summer.
And with Wolves looking as sharp as a desert cactus, Sin Cara swapped the searing sun of Mexico for the heat of the Premier League as he took in this afternoon's 1-0 win over Fulham.
Wolves' performance was left in the shade of the supporters' sombreros for 75 minutes before Leander Dendoncker saw off their relegated visitors down.

But Portuguese coach Santos looked as proud at the end as he did before kick-off - when he donned a traditional doctorate gown to pick up a scroll from the University of Wolverhampton.
The 45-year-old hailed a Sin double - a doctorate and the three points to guarantee coming "best of the rest," below the so-called top six clubs.
Wolves now face possibly the toughest possible climax to the campaign - a trip to title-chasing Liverpool next Sunday.
