Eye of the Tiger Mask

[cadure1]

all the tigers in one cage ... in the same ring, I mean. Already granted me to see this match. Now follow Sting vs Undertaker ...

Mark Calaway may be saying goodbye to his undefeated streak at wrestlemania ... (I'm still drunk ...)

(I'm still drunk ... but hopefully that should happen)

[DannyARock]

Omg that mask looks awesome, where can i get one??

[MarioMetroidFan]

And the ref?! Black Tiger HAHAHAHA Japanese rule!!!

[Giumbolo1970]

wonderfull match

[calloduty7]

why are there 4 tigermasks in the ring!?!

[Empu1]

Because there's been a total of 4 Tiger Masks to date ^^ (Sayama, Misawa, Kanemoto and Yamazaki) and on a side note, there are 5 Black Tiger Masks so there might be a fifth Tiger Mask soon.

[calloduty7]

hope so

[KrezykWos]

Go Tiger! bien Video :D 5/5!

[borlaotze]

Great video! ^_^

[BlackVen0m]

[raffarafu]

ma qesta e' tana delle tigri!!!

[putteVH]

Wow , that guy can fight !

[NuclearConvoy]

Which one?

[mhlafors]

Tiger mask... duh

[Training24hrz]

Great video thanks

I really enjoy watching it

[hellboundnj]

He Lookks Like The Tekken Character King

[NuclearConvoy]

More accurately, King looks like Tiger Mask.

The original Tiger Mask started wrestling in the 70s, far before Tekken.

[devilsnap]

Indeed. In fact, King was modeled after Tiger mask and shares alot of the same moves, including the moonsault and sobat kick, even down to using the same leg.

[dufu17]

all of the tekken characters were taken from real persons...take for example marduk..he was taken from goldberg

[NuclearConvoy]

Well, I don't know if ALL of the Tekken characters are based on real people, but certainly most are.

[swanton200]

@dufu17 OH WOW I NEVER KNEW THAT. yo thanks for telling me i was always wondering but we all know who king is. but goldberg eh? i never knew

[armandroh666]

Also for anyone interested, HighspotsDOTcom has a 5-disc set spanning the IV Tiger Mask's, disc 1's Sayama, disc 2's Misawa, disc 3's Koji, then disc 4's Yamazaki while disc 5's just bonus/random matches from all 4. I own that set.

While they also have a 5 disc set of just Satoru Sayama from 1980-1983, witch even has the 8 or 9 times he wrestled Dynamite Kid in that set.

[chuninofcool]

there should be a seventh Rocky film that the orignal Tiger Mask challenges the Italain Stallion to a match.

[MrjackStar]

40,000 view!!! this is so awsome in deserves 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000 views !!!!

[hammer1765]

what the hell is with everyone wearing a damn tiger mask?

[iow88woi]

becuase they like, and i also like it =.="

[MrjackStar]

its tiger mask I and tiger mask IV vs Tiger Mask II and tiger mask III

[armandroh666]

Yes because Satoru Sayama was the original from 1980 - 1984. Mitsuharu Misawa was Tiger Mask II from 1985 - 1990. Koji Kanemoto was Tiger Mask III from 1990 - 1994. Then Yoshihiro Yamazaki who's Tiger Mask IV from 1995 - Currently.

[armandroh666]

& doing this just cause

Tiger Mask - Satoru Sayama

Tiger Mask II - Mitsuharu Misawa

Tiger Mask III - Koji Kanemoto

Tiger Mask IV - Unknown @ this time

[NuclearConvoy]

LOL, no prob, mate.

[pogokidmike]

Tiger Mask 4 is Yoshihiro Yamazaki

[iow88woi]

Is that a real fight?

If really, please give me the real title or upload the fight without cut any path.

[NuclearConvoy]

It is a real match. However I will not upload the video, my YouTube account is only for my video editing attempts. As for the event this match was at, well, I don't read japanese so I don't know that answer.

[pompeyrob1]

I have this fight on dvd minus the beginning acording to the japanese guy doing commentary the ref was the great sasuke

[TheKingOfBears]

if im not mistaken tiger maskIV was eddie guerrero

[NuclearConvoy]

No, you are Mistaken.

Guerrero did, however, play one of the Black Tigers (rivals of Tiger Masks) and the ref in this match is a Black Tiger.

[armandroh666]

Black Tiger = "Rollerball" Rocco

Black Tiger II = Eddie Guerrero

Black Tiger III = Silver King

Black Tiger IV = PWG/ROH's Rocky Romero

[NuclearConvoy]

Thanks mate, good to know.

[armandroh666]

I know my stuff heh, but yvw

[NuclearConvoy]

You certainly do.

[pompeyrob1]

yeah videoquality couldof been better but great ring action thats got me hyped upnicely now I got myself a copy of best of tiger mask dvd in the pos

t can't wait

[NuclearConvoy]

Glad I could do some good for you!

[haridham]

where is tiger mask now?

[mets2128]

OK which is which?

[NuclearConvoy]

Well, that's kinda tough to tell from my video, other than Tiger Mas I being the one with the silver and black suit.

[armandroh666]

Sayama's wearing the black/silver attire, Koji's wearing the kick/shin pads. I believe Kanemaru (Misawa's sub) had the orange design on his tights then Yamakazi had the typical yellow on his tights.

[SuperJusfighta2]

who are the 4 guys under the masks?

[syphonfilter007]

oh dammit, what a match!!! Tiger Mask... my all time favourite gimmick, unfortunatly I cant find this match anywhere :(

good editing btw... love the song :P

[NuclearConvoy]

Glad you like it.

I may put the complete match up, broken in to parts, when I get a new version of Adobe Premiere.

[syphonfilter007]

that would be great...

[S1587915G]

When will there be a Tiger Mask with a beautiful six-pack? :(

[NuclearConvoy]

When you stop thinking of them sexually.

[S1587915G]

I can't help it, he's such a sexy dude. Well, in the cartoon series anyway. :p

[NuclearConvoy]

A friend of mine once had a crush on Rogue from the 90s X-Men cartoon :P

[bloobloo78]

you should upload the whole match. seems like it would be epic

KOJI FTW!

[NuclearConvoy]

It's too long to fit with the new restrictions, and I currently don't have decent enough video editing software to bother hacking it in to pieces.

[bloobloo78]

damn... it seems like such a good match 8(

[Reifsteck]

Tiger Mask 2 is not in this match. Its 1 3 and 4 then black tiger. 2 is Mishawa who as any wrestling fan knows went on to have more success under his given name

[NuclearConvoy]

Tiger Mask 2 IS in this match, it's just not Misawa under the mask. Black Tiger is the referee.

[SirPromenade]

Misawa had Yoshinobu Kanemaru sub for him in this match, as he is a full fledged heavyweight now.

[NuclearConvoy]

Thanks! I wasn't certain who was in the Tiger Mask II suit.

[JPThunder01]

Still would've been nice if Misawa competed in this match as Tiger Mask II since that was how he basically began his career.

[PabianPL]

In the end we can see that on the left side of judge are 3 TM and on the right 1 TM. Why they aren`t standing 2 on right 2 on left (just like they were in team)

[NuclearConvoy]

The three on one side are all retired Tiger Masks, the one on the other side is the current one.

[PabianPL]

Why in the end they are standing 3 . 1 ?

[NuclearConvoy]

Excuse me?

[PrimoDragon]

Great video with all the protagonists of my favourite gimmick. They're all great. But Sayama is the best. SAyama is a legend.

[NuclearConvoy]

Truly, truly.

[tigermaskII]

Great video. King Tiger, Sayama, the original Tiger Mask - the greatest Tiger Mask - and Tiger Mask IV vs Tiger Mask II, the unforgettable Misawa, and Tiger Mask III, Kanemoto... the refree, Black Tiger. Wow! Thanks!

[NuclearConvoy]

Glad you liked it :D

[tigermaskII]

Sayama is the biggest wrestler in the wrestling history.

NuclearConvoy is skilled in creation of this fantastic video. Congratulations!

[NuclearConvoy]

Thank You!

[bvargasjr]

when did this happen?

[NuclearConvoy]

Wish I knew.

Looks to be the late 90s though.

[JPThunder01]

In this match are Tigermask I (Satoru Sayama) and Tiger Mask IV (current Tigermask, real identity unknown as he is the current Tigermask portrayed in New Japan Pro Wrestling right now) vs. Tigermask II (Kanemaru taking Mitsuharu Misawa's place for this match) and Tigermask III (Koji Kanemoto). All of the wrestlers in this match are the real Tigermasks except for Tigermask II which was originally Misawa but was replaced by Kanemaru.

[Hitmanfan91]

i think they should return as a faction in NOAH and the other japanese promotions, but doesn't Tiger Mask 1 (Sutoro Sayama) find the business awful these days, nonetheless they ALL should return together, i would guess they all still "have what it takes" in the ring

[Hitmanfan91]

CAN SOMEONE PLEEEEEEEEASE tell me how many tiger masks there are, i know theres alot of guys who played tiger mask 1 and i know theres a Tiger Mask IV so is there 4 tiger masks or not, SOMEONE UPDATE ME PLEEASE

[NuclearConvoy]

There are only 4 official Tiger Masks

[Giwex]

This is Tigerking (Satoru Sayama) & Tigermask IV vs Tigermask II (Kanemaru subbing for Misawa) & Tigermask III (Kanemoto).

The referee, while wearing a Black Tiger mask, is The Great Sauske

[NuclearConvoy]

Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

[lygerbomb]

What match is this? I think i see Kanemoto,Sayama, and MAYBE Misawa but i'm not too sure.

[NuclearConvoy]

Shoot, I couldn't tell you specfically what card it was, but as for match it was Tigermask I and IV (Sayama and his pupil) against Tigermask II and III. The referee is one of the Black Tigers, but I don't know which one.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Hell, if you find out what card this was on I'd like it if you told me, I'm interested myself.

[Inoki187]

Great video. True tribute to one of the greats.

[NuclearConvoy]

or 4 of the /greats, as it were :P

Thanks for the comment!

[noyd]

Well as you said the video is a bit pixelated. It isnt the best video I've seen but it's a nice first atempt. The song is a clasic, the fighting was good. If you want to put more time on it and make it really good, then you could try and match the hitting to the rythm of the song. I'll be looking foward to seeing your futur work.

[NuclearConvoy]

Unfortunately, the hits that are actually in sequence, the kicks i use near the begining, are really off beat. Even when I speed them up/slow them down I had trouble matching them.

Did you notice any of my matching lyrics to events on screen?
