Tiger Mask is one of the most important ones on here, both because the character has been played by legends like Mitsuharu Misawa and Kota Ibushi, and because the original Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama, pioneered the cruiserweight/junior heavyweight style in the 80s. Tiger Mask is also the main inspiration behind King in Tekken.
Tiger Mask first appeared in his own manga named after him in 1968, then that same manga was adapted into an anime in 1969. The real life wrestler based on the animated high flyer debuted in 1981 for New Japan Pro Wrestling portrayed by Satoru Sayama.
I only RECOGNIZED the Mortis mask, I didn't have a name! I was sad though at how few of these they were certain on! It just shows how much WWE has influenced them as fans of this sport, maybe with more and more wrestling besides WWE coming to the surface they will branch out more!
@@JacksonOwex several were old wcw and I dont know how old these guys are but that was over 20 years ago. They are still entertaining though. And its still entertaining to play along. Just those 3 guys were some of my favorite wrestlers as a kid
@@Mrryn It's surprising to me because in every other quiz, Dante has been very impressive with his knowledge, but I think we found his Achilles heel. WCW!
Glad to contribute! Love your channel and the community you guys have created. Wanted to add the country aspect as I was worried there may not be enough points for a substantial wager round. I’m sorry to anyone if that aspect was confusing or flawed, I’m just a young Protestant man.
La parka is a legendary Mexican wrestler. He is known as the chairman because he would always carry around a chair. He had a stint in wcw back in the 90s.
I didn't count the points, but I got all of them except the Chris Kanyon one which I had just no idea about (just threw out Vampiro as a random guess lol). This was a fun one!
The thing is I remembered Mortis more for his feud with Glacier in WCW before the name. What's a better choice for a feud involving a Mortal Kombat ripoff character but with another Mortal Kombat ripoff.
I will say this showed you guys definitely didn't grow up with mid 90s WCW. Decent amount of these wrestled WCW in the 90s. But impressive nonetheless. Love these and look forward to them every week!
Loved this quiz, but I'm shocked at how little John and Dante know about WCW masked wrestlers. WCW made cruiserweight wrestling mainstream. You guys gotta know Psychosis, La Parka and Ultimo Dragon. CMON!!!
Whoever sent this one in was smart and used the guys’ strengths and weaknesses in wrestling knowledge to make this competitive instead of using Mexico/Japan-only guys they prob wouldn’t have known. Makes it a lot of fun to watch, and good job to that person.
Love the content but was really hoping to see El Santo or Blue demon!! Definitely advise looking up more luchadores. The history is rich and the action is amazing
About Tiger Mask: they made a very popular anime in the 80s called Tiger Man, based on his mask. It was also very popular in Italy even for his Italian theme song
Masked wrestling and lucha is such a wonderful piece of the pro wrestling puzzle. Almost always a treat to watch a lucha match. Like late 90's. Japan has churned out a lot of greats too. You guys should definitely check out Starlight Kid: she is the only masked wrestler in Stardom and has that quick style and inspires her masks around Jushin Liger. She also puts a mask on the opponents she beats as a heel.
There could easily be a round two... Penta, Fenix, the blue blazer, los conquistadores, Mr America, prince puma, Drago, sexy star, the fiend, and that's just off top of my head!
Same. I was actually surprised they didn't know Ultimo Dragon, before I remembered that the WWE misused him (expecting him to be like Rey), Ultimo was past his prime and he slipped at Wrestlemania XX . . . so he was in WWE for like a year and that not everyone religiously tuned in for Nitro, Thunder and the WCW PPVs like I did. 😅 Honestly though, they should do a "Guess the WCW Wrestler" - throw in guys like Disco Inferno, Juventud Guerrera, Norman Smiley, Prince Iaukea, Vampiro, Stevie Ray and it might actually be challenging.
Mortis and la parka both wrestled with WCW. When WCW was bought out, mortis dropped the gimmick and went by Chris Kaynon. For La Parka, there were two who wrestled under the name. The one in WCW quit and went on to doing independent wrestling, mainly with AAA. So happy I knew those two masks. Playing the old N64 NWO VS WCW revenge game. Psychosis was also in the WCW and he mainly wore the black and white horned mask, never knew he had it colored in black and red.
7:30 Fun fact since they referenced Mankind's mask: it was originally one of concepts for Undertaker to wear when his face got injured. Vince liked it but didn't think it fit Taker's character. Then he hired Mici but didn't want the Cactus Jack character. I believe he saw it as lesser because or whatever so he gave it to him instead. That's why Mankind's mask has so material around the nose. Speaking of Undertaker, he was originally named "Kane The Undertaker". Vince liked it but Mark didn't. Mark tried to politely argue for just "The Undertaker" but didn't know that he got his way until he was on the way to the ring and heard the announcer saying it.
Yeah, it had a weird mix of lucha libre/cruiserweights. Some didn't wear masks, like Silver King, Billy Kidman, and Shannon Moore, and others like Juventud who wore masks. The whole WCW Cruiserweight division was so underrated! And I remember Blitzkreig. He had that crazy corkscrew splash that was never really seen on TV at the time.
Pyscosis was super underrated back in his day. His old ECW and WCW matches with Rey were insane. They always had wicked matches if you have time to look em up I highly recommend it.
7:45 The disrespect for the Chairman of WCW is real. I think Dante was thinking about Gran Metalik. I wish Abyss was included cause his mask and gimmick was a cross between Mankind and Kane.
but I was watching wrestling wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy before these guys were born n it stayed with the most recent big promotions if itt was AAA , CMLL NJPW AJPW it would have been a whole lot different
3:30
Ah yes, Kane, that famous Mexican Masked Wrestler
Up there with the greats of course
Mexikane was the greatest ever
I’m glad someone else noticed 😂😂
The best high flyer
Well Kane was born is Spain
Eddie Guerrero never portrayed Tiger Mask but he did portray Black Tiger II which was Tiger Mask's evil twin
What happened to Black Tiger I?
You guys should do one on guessing the longest reigning champ per year
Good shout
This!
Yes
Absolutely Love This Suggestion
That's an idea!
Tiger Mask is one of the most important ones on here, both because the character has been played by legends like Mitsuharu Misawa and Kota Ibushi, and because the original Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama, pioneered the cruiserweight/junior heavyweight style in the 80s. Tiger Mask is also the main inspiration behind King in Tekken.
There is also an anime based on Tiger Mask, or is it the other way around, like how Jyushin "Thunder" Liger was based on an anime of the same name
Tiger Mask first appeared in his own manga named after him in 1968, then that same manga was adapted into an anime in 1969. The real life wrestler based on the animated high flyer debuted in 1981 for New Japan Pro Wrestling portrayed by Satoru Sayama.
@@PokemonTrainer87 the jushin one is correct
And King is my main. u_u
They were kind of right about Eddie Guerrero too because Eddie played Black Tiger at one point. That was Tiger Mask’s evil counterpart.
“I mean how many [masked wrestlers] are there?” *laughs in Lucha*
There are also masked wrestlers from around the world, no need to call them “luchadors” unless they practice the lucha libre style.
5:08 me too , Sophie should always be the judge behind the table.
the lack of La Parka and Ultimo Dragon and Mortis knowledge is sad
I only RECOGNIZED the Mortis mask, I didn't have a name! I was sad though at how few of these they were certain on! It just shows how much WWE has influenced them as fans of this sport, maybe with more and more wrestling besides WWE coming to the surface they will branch out more!

9:27 Lol Dante being so disappointed with his “Ghantrek” guess
Y'all should definitely check out some La Parka matches. He was great
Didn't he play a chair like a guitar during his entrance
@@nathanpickering7312 Indeed. He was the "Chairman" of WCW 😏
I couldn't believe it when Dante said he's never even heard of La Parka. WCW legend.
@@bryguy4446 I can, considering they've made guesses about stuff like Kane being around in like '92 lol
@@Mrryn It's surprising to me because in every other quiz, Dante has been very impressive with his knowledge, but I think we found his Achilles heel. WCW!
I love that Hurricane was the final one. Especially cause sometimes it was just face paint instead of the actual mask.
Nah, I don’t believe that he’s never heard of La Parka..
The Chairman of WCW/MLW.
Glad to contribute! Love your channel and the community you guys have created.
Wanted to add the country aspect as I was worried there may not be enough points for a substantial wager round. I’m sorry to anyone if that aspect was confusing or flawed, I’m just a young Protestant man.
I was surprised you gave them a layup for the final. I'd have given them someone like Curry Man or The Patriot.
definitely enough to make a part 2!
Thanks for sending this in, Ryan!
This is the first quiz you’ve done that I actually got 100% on
Nothing makes me remember how young they are than seeing they have no clue who LA Parka is.
If one of them shaves their mustache off, that be top 10 betrayals of wrestling
La parka is a legendary Mexican wrestler. He is known as the chairman because he would always carry around a chair. He had a stint in wcw back in the 90s.
And his theme song was MJ's Thriller
I made a part 2 immediately after watching this that I emailed to you guys!! I hope you do it because this was such a fun challenge.
It really was fun! A second part would be great!
Thanks for sending it!
For the mask quiz surprising I got most of them right
My entire idea gone! I’ll have to watch this later and see if they used who I was going to, and if not I can do a follow up.
even i was nervous at the end
Kane :country of orgin: Mexico
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tell each other wagers before the question. John never bets all his points but he did this one cause he knew the answer lol
Never heard of La Parka?! The fucking Chairman!
I didn't count the points, but I got all of them except the Chris Kanyon one which I had just no idea about (just threw out Vampiro as a random guess lol).
This was a fun one!
The thing is I remembered Mortis more for his feud with Glacier in WCW before the name. What's a better choice for a feud involving a Mortal Kombat ripoff character but with another Mortal Kombat ripoff.
What no title? John has to get a title!
When y'all said Masked Wrestlers I was thinking El Santo or Mil Mascaras. lol
They too are masked wrestlers!
I will say this showed you guys definitely didn't grow up with mid 90s WCW. Decent amount of these wrestled WCW in the 90s. But impressive nonetheless. Love these and look forward to them every week!
When Kane came up I definitely would’ve put “Parts Unknown”
Loved this quiz, but I'm shocked at how little John and Dante know about WCW masked wrestlers. WCW made cruiserweight wrestling mainstream. You guys gotta know Psychosis, La Parka and Ultimo Dragon. CMON!!!
You guys should do guess the wrestler’s wrestling attire, I think it could be fun.
Whoever sent this one in was smart and used the guys’ strengths and weaknesses in wrestling knowledge to make this competitive instead of using Mexico/Japan-only guys they prob wouldn’t have known. Makes it a lot of fun to watch, and good job to that person.
Kane the red 2000s love machine
El Generico and Sami Zayn are not the same person. El Generico died when his orphanage burnt down.
WHAT?! When did it burn down?! Did he at least save all the kids?! Don't answer that, I'm going to pretend that he DID and he died heroicly!
Last I heard was the curse, that everytime someone claims Sami Zayn was El Generico an orphan in Mexico loses hope
NEVER EVEN HEARD OF LA PARKA?!?! GET YOURSELVES A COPY OF WCW VS NWO REVENGE FOR THE N64
Also, we know who the face and who the heel of this group is with who lets the other get away with answers 😂
My brain melted when they put Tokyo for the COUNTRY of Origin
Dante, your "Gantrek" guess was Golga from The Oddities
While Rey did train in Mexico he was born and raised in the US. The last one should have been Curry Man or Excalibur for the lulz.
Love the content but was really hoping to see El Santo or Blue demon!! Definitely advise looking up more luchadores. The history is rich and the action is amazing
they barely knew Tiger Mask
I did great on this! Good vid 👍
Thanks!
Ultimo dragon “super lowkey” cracked me
I think you two could be a legit (comedy style) pro wrestling tag team :D Mustache Bros. forever! too sweeeeeeeeet
LOVE THIS CHANNEL
El Kané
That comes out to be WAY too close to Kanye, and Mr. Jacobs deserves MUCH more respect than that!
About Tiger Mask: they made a very popular anime in the 80s called Tiger Man, based on his mask. It was also very popular in Italy even for his Italian theme song
I was certain that Juventud Guerrera would be on this list
I thought he was the first mask
Curry Man would have been funny.
This was shockingly the easiest one of the challenges for me. 22 points!
Big W
Proud of my masked wrestler knowledge, got them all correct and their location
W
Liger comes up.
"He fought Tyler Breeze."
I mean, yeah...
You should guess the wrestlers by costumes
Actualy Kane was born in Torrejón de Ardoz (Spain), I am not joking
No Curryman or Sharkboy? Shocking!
Would've loved to see the Blue Blazer again. Oh well. Congrats John ^_^
Zayn and El Generico are not the same, Generico has been dead for a while
RIP :(
No he's not dead his good friend Kevin steein, a while back revealed that generico is still alive he just soo far off the grid helping orphans still
I'm well out of my wrestling watching days but you guys are a lot of fun to watch. Keep it up!
Time to get back into it!
"Country of Origin: Tokyo." American stereotypes in full effect :D
Finally, my love of Lucha counts! Perfect score~

Im offended Kalisto isnt in this while sin cara is but great vid.
And Abyss, Juventud, Willow, Pentagon Jr., Suicide...there were a lot of wrestlers. There could be a part 2 for sure.
I never think of myself as a super fan until I watch these boys get ones I thought were easy incorrect lol
LA Parka was the chairman of WCW lol
A lot of masked wrestlers in the 90s on nitro with all the cruiserweights,go back and watch some of those matches.
Next time a hardcore challenge. Guess the wrestler by their mask: Luchador edition (AAA, CMLL, The Crush, DTU, etc.).
There could easily be a round two... Penta, Fenix, the blue blazer, los conquistadores, Mr America, prince puma, Drago, sexy star, the fiend, and that's just off top of my head!
“You got the g right” ah yes, Kalisto with a g lol
I can't believe Dante doesn't knows who La Parka was. Lucha Libre legend who also spent time in WCW during the Monday Night War.
Should have done Cody Rhodes paper bag😂
I can thank Wrestling Bios for me being able to guess some of the WCW guys on the list
Eddie was black tiger
Oh there's tiger mask 1'2'3'4
I got all of them right👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 you guys must be new wrestling fans. You didn't know half the legends
Did you guys watch WCW in the 90s cause I guessed every one of them but you didn’t know any lol
Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 loving this channel lol always try my best at these games
Ek sê ook so
I'm proud of myself (and a little surprised) that Tiger Mask was the only one I missed. Thank God for 90's WCW luchadores haha
Same. I was actually surprised they didn't know Ultimo Dragon, before I remembered that the WWE misused him (expecting him to be like Rey), Ultimo was past his prime and he slipped at Wrestlemania XX . . . so he was in WWE for like a year and that not everyone religiously tuned in for Nitro, Thunder and the WCW PPVs like I did. 😅 Honestly though, they should do a "Guess the WCW Wrestler" - throw in guys like Disco Inferno, Juventud Guerrera, Norman Smiley, Prince Iaukea, Vampiro, Stevie Ray and it might actually be challenging.
I only Missed Mortis, (never heard of that guy) but I am Mexican so I have the advantage

The one in WCW quit and went on to doing independent wrestling, mainly with AAA. So happy I knew those two masks. Playing the old N64 NWO VS WCW revenge game. Psychosis was also in the WCW and he mainly wore the black and white horned mask, never knew he had it colored in black and red.
Yo we need a part two there's so many big names in masks that you could do lol
You guys should do tier lists as well as this guessing game! Love your content!
25 wagered 10. Should have gone all in. Ultimo Dragon was/is one of the best out there. Highly recommend checking out his work
I'm pretty sure Vader didn't start wrestling with a mask until his run in Japan. Which would also be an origin country.
7:30
Fun fact since they referenced Mankind's mask: it was originally one of concepts for Undertaker to wear when his face got injured. Vince liked it but didn't think it fit Taker's character. Then he hired Mici but didn't want the Cactus Jack character. I believe he saw it as lesser because or whatever so he gave it to him instead.

Got em all! Thankfully there weren't too many WCW luchadors on there like Villano IV, Blitzkrieg, or Super Calo. Yea I'm a luchador guy lol
Yeah, it had a weird mix of lucha libre/cruiserweights. Some didn't wear masks, like Silver King, Billy Kidman, and Shannon Moore, and others like Juventud who wore masks. The whole WCW Cruiserweight division was so underrated!
And I remember Blitzkreig. He had that crazy corkscrew splash that was never really seen on TV at the time.
blitzkrieg was so good. way ahead of his time. the cruiserweight division in WCW had some of the best matches that I've ever seen
You even don't know psicosis and la parka...they are legends
Rey Mysterio... My all time favorite! 😊
He's the GOAT
Woof, struggling on Tiger Mask and Ultimo Dragon.
Oh yeah I forgot the guy with the most relaxing theme
Pyscosis was super underrated back in his day. His old ECW and WCW matches with Rey were insane. They always had wicked matches if you have time to look em up I highly recommend it.
Awesome vid again, 25 pts before wager round love it guys
7:45 The disrespect for the Chairman of WCW is real. I think Dante was thinking about Gran Metalik. I wish Abyss was included cause his mask and gimmick was a cross between Mankind and Kane.
9:38 I love how he celebrates but he only got barely half the name right.
i went perfect 15/15
but I was watching wrestling wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy before these guys were born n it stayed with the most recent big promotions if itt was AAA , CMLL NJPW AJPW it would have been a whole lot different
W
I spent the whole video hoping the “Mr. America” mask would be in the game.
I managed a nearly clean sweep, missed a few origins, but got all the identities right. I surprised myself on that one.
Laparka kept that steel chair on him. Juventud Guerrero best all time
This was really close. Great vid
3:30 Kane is Mexican now apparently lol
edit: how is it possible to look at a tiger mask and not writing TIGER MASK? LMAO
well he was born in spain so close enough for them i guess
Clearly you guys never watched WCW back in the day, would have swept this game
Carmella's mask definitely should've made the cut 🤤
25 with no wager. This was a fun quiz.
W
This one was cool. Should do more attire.
Got 28/30. Didn't know who Evil Uno was, but did watch a lot of WCW in the mid to late 90s where a lot of those masks were featured
