September 16, 200520 yr I watched him when i was really young and my friend at one point was my favorite wrestler. He just disapeared from wrestling and we were crushed. Now after all of these years, I know what happend. This guy was fun to watch, not sure if any of you were lucky enough to watch him. Linkage to Tiger Mask Story
September 16, 200520 yr Eddie Guerrero at one time played Tiger Mask during his days in Japan. Nice link.
September 17, 200520 yr Eddie Guerrero at one time played Tiger Mask during his days in Japan. Nice link. 948430[/snapback] He had a different name. It's not Tiger Mask you're thinking of. There have been multiples and I have a video tape of some of his best matches. In my opinion his best stuff was with Dynamite Kid. The Japanese wrestling style is just sooo different from the US, it's so much more athletic and it just seems quicker. They still sell injuries and stuff, but it seems more like an authentic athletic contest (of course this varies from promotion to promotion).
September 17, 200520 yr Oh, and if anyone has WWE jukebox there's some GREAT matches featuring some of Tiger Masks proteges. *fires it up and watches Ultimo Dragon/Mysterio from WCW and then Malenko/Liger*
September 17, 200520 yr Author yeah, I remember the guy running all over the place doing moves I don't think anyone can mimic.
September 18, 200520 yr This got me "e-baying" for some Tiger Mask, Dynamite Kid, Ultimo Dragon action. There's some GOOD Dynamite Kid stuff. There's a couple of good Tiger Mask deals. Just look up either and DVD to check it out.
September 18, 200520 yr I know you can get a best of Tiger Mask video from Obsessed with wrestling that I've been looking at.
