Tiger Mask W
In the white mat jungle

Ravaged yet again by a storm today
kyou mo arashi ga fukiareru
Deliver the fist of justice on the unruly villains

Go, go, Tiger

Tiger Mask!
A tiger, a tiger

You shall become a tiger
omae ha tora ni narunoda
Go, go, Tiger
yuke yuke Tiger
Tiger Mask!
This is your workspace.
I'm Ruriko Yamashina. I begin work here today.
I'm pleased to meet you.
Hi.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
You'll be doing health maintenance and medical checks.
Ask the ring doctor for details later.
Yes.
I have one warning.
No romance with the boys.
Huh?
Yes.
Wow!
I heard we got a cute new nurse. The rumors were true.
How about lunch today?
Mike!
Ouch!
You're still training. Get to it.
Okay.
As requested, I've successfuly dragged Tiger Mask into the next match.
And?
By announcing the main event would be a single match with Tiger Mask...
advanced ticket sales have spiked.
He's an annoyance, but...
if he brings audiences, he has value.
Miss X, it's time.
I'm coming.
Mister X, I have a press conference. If you'll excuse me.
I look forward to your report.
Fierce Fight - Bigfoot Match
For the Wrestle Max Battle Invasion main event...
I give you Tiger Mask's opponent.
Come on!
Mister Bigfoot!
Bigfoot?!
The giant?!
He's in Japan?
- Whoa! - He's big!
Look at that body!
Weight: 240 kg.
Favorite move: Bear hug.
GWM is proud to present the world's largest and strongest mask man.
He's huge!
You pro wrestling journalist know just how amazing he is.
He KO's opponents within 5 minutes.
And he's hospitalized numerous wresters.
Hey, Tiger Mask!
Check out what you'll look like after our match!
What's he doing?
He's using that tree?
No way.
- Huh? - Whoa!
Wow!
Check that power! He broke it!
The match will be won by a 10 count KO or by forefit only.
Mister Bigfoot, have you any messages?
I'm hungry!
Gimme a thick steak!
I meant for Tiger Mask!
Hey, Tiger!
I'm gonna squeeze you with a bear hug, and make tiger ham out of you!
A wet, bloody ham. You like that?
That's your opponent?
I'll try not get turned into ham.
You think they'll eventually have wrestlers pulling buses?
Talk about old school.
How do you plan on fighting someone that big?
Big power fighters like that generally haven't learned ground techniques.
The fact that he KO's his opponent in 5 minutes means
he doesn't have stamina.
If I can drain his stamina and take him down,
it'll work out.
My analysis is the same.
He's big, but he's no different from my Roussimoff.
I see.
I'm gonna spar with Roussimoff.
Yeah. You can't be too careful.
All right, let's get ready to go to Fuji.
Let's see, we'll need...
You must be really glad that Naoto-san chose to train with you...
rather than the NJPW.
Quiet!
You've been saying one word too many recently!
I'm sorry. Don't have a cow.
Who's old school...
The rivals, Payne and Queen, have formed a new tag team...
and will fight Japanese wrestlers over GWM's newly created title.
Come on!
Candy Pair!
The winners of this match will be the first champions of the GWM World Diva Tag!
Hey, hey!
These nutty kids are Japan's Diva representatives?
Cosplay girls go home!
Are you aware of the saying, "a crab in moonlight?"
It means "a crab with no meat."
A big shell with nothing inside.
That means you!
What?!
How dare you!
Right back at you!
We'll settle this in the ring!
They're pretty cool.
I can be like that too.
I'm getting pumped up!
Bigfoot was impressive!
Candy Pair is so cute!
Miss X.
What's going on with Tiger the Dark?
He's undergoing adjustment at a GWM farm.
A farm?
He's been relegated to a farm team?
Interpret it as you will.
But, after only one defeat?
Of course.
Some wrestlers lose everything with a single loss.
This is his moment of truth.
If he can use that defeat to grow as a pro wrestler...
there's still hope.
I've said too much. Excuse me.
The original Tiger Mask
once fought a giant named Gorilla Man.
It's the same deal. Don't compete with power.
Confuse with speed, and finish with technique.
Yes!
That's it.
Advanced tickets are sold out. How are day tickets?
They're sold out.
73% of the sales can be attributed to Tiger Mask.
11% are for Candy Pair.
Fukuwara Mask is...
I don't need unnecessary analysis.
Understood, ma'am.
Wrestle Max!
Let's get the Battle Invasion started!
The opener is Mike Rodriguez and Fukuwara Mask!
Mike!
I'm going to the medical center.
Is something wrong?
I'm checking on Ruriko-san.
Huh? Ruriko-san?
She's working here now.
Huh? How come?
Oh... Honestly.
Oh!
Tiger Mask!
Is something wrong?
Uh, well, I mean...
Got any tape?
Here, take this.
Here.
Ah... Thanks.
Oh! Wait a minute!
I'm a GWM staff, so I can't say this out loud but...
I'm rooting for you. Good luck.
Y-Yes!
It's Candy Pair.
Excuse me. I'm Tiger Mask's agent, Haruna Takaoka.
I wanted to say hello.
Go ahead.
Come in.
Thank you.
Oh!
You look young for an agent.
What's your age?
I'm 19.
Then we're only 1 year apart.
We're both 20.
Wow, really?
You're fighting American star wrestlers in this stadium at 20!
It's something, isn't it?
But is it all right?
To get on the infamous Monopoly's mat?
It's true a lot of wrestlers are wary.
But GWM is a big company with markets worldwide.
Today's match could be our chance at a world debut.
We need to put on a good fight.
Wow! You're reaching for the dream!
I'm really rooting for you!
Thanks!
We'll try.
It's time. Please be ready.
Payne unleashes her elbow!
Oh!
Milk!
Mint!
It's a series of powerful kicks!
She won't be able to stand after that.
Milk!
Unbelievable!
That's a true nadeshiko wrestler!
No matter if she falls, her burning heart makes her rise!
She's like a zombie!
The crowd's cheering is getting hotter!
Do Japanese audiences like this sort of thing?
I'll input it in the data.
Oh! Look out!
That's cool!
It's Payne's finish hold, the Payne Lariat!
Milk!
Wow! Queen follows with a fisherman's suplex!
1...
2...
3!
Great!
Payne and Queen are the GWM World Diva Tag champions!
We couldn't do anything.
Ruriko-san.
It's the ring doctor. We're coming in.
We don't need you! Go away!
It's our job to see if you've been injured.
Please, let us in.
I have to try harder too.
Now, the main event begins!
It's an exciting card that only ends with a 10 count KO or a forefit!
First is Tiger Mask's entrance!
Tiger!
Good luck!
Beat Bigfoot!
And now, Bigfoot's entrance!
- He's huge! - Scary!
Wow!
In the blue corner, at 224 pounds...
Tiger Mask!
Tiger!
Knock him out!
And in the red corner, at 530 pounds...
Bigfoot!
He's huge!
Fight!
Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!
Shut up!
Quiet!
Bigfoot seems annoyed by Tiger Mask's popularity!
Considering his popularity in America, it's a natural response.
Bigfoot, settle down!
Then shut them up!
Come on!
Tiger's low kicks hit Bigfoot's log-sized leg!
Over here!
Fantastic! A beautiful dropkick from Tiger Mask!
Followed by a dropkick to the leg!
Goddamn!
It's having an effect!
Wow! Bigfoot's down!
Go for the joint!
Is he going for a kneebar?
No!
Bigfoot's putting all his weight on!
He can't breath like that!
And this position...
Tiger's getting crushed!
He can do ground techniques with that bulk?
Bigfoot isn't just a power fighter.
His ground technique and stamina are top notch.
That's a rope!
Tiger escapes the ring!
Come on!
Referee, get him away from the rope!
No!
Oh!
Bigfoot catches Tiger!
As you can see...
Tiger Mask's speed and technique are no match for Bigfoot.
What will Tiger Mask do?
A powerful hip attack! This is intense!
And another!
And now...
His speciality, a bear hug!
This is it. No one's ever escaped that move.
Naoto!
His spine will snap at this rate!
Wow! A heavy head-butt from Bigfoot!
This is the end.
You can do it, Tiger!
Naoto!
Tiger unleashes two elbows!
Unbelievable!
Where does that power reside in that body?
Tiger pulls off a come-back win!
He finished it with power!
Hooray!
Yes!
Hurry!
Yes!
Miss X!
If you really want to beat me, bring someone stronger!
Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!
