Hm, a lot of training and professional moves in the ring.

Looks like Tiger Mask remembered something that Mr Question mentioned to him before. I have no doubt that he'll improve soon and perfect the deathblow technique to his arsenal of moves. Should be interesting to see him in the ring again soon.

We got to see Rainmaker in all it's glory, seriously though the only thing this anime misses is Kenny Omega (even a cameo would be great) I'm pretty sure that he would absolutely love to work in this anime given how big of a weaboo he himself is.

Also I guess Tiger Mask's "super move" will be a corner backflip to Back Stabber (Carlito Colon finisher) but then Tiger Mask is too much of a face to use such a heel move, it may be a neckbreaker most likely TBH.

Naito finally appeared! And in his Los Ingobernables gear! Even used his Spanish catchphrases! Too bad they didn't script him into the Masked Tournament as his gimmick of taking off the mask during entrances as a show of disrespect for would've been cool.

I'm betting the finisher will be a somersault reverse DDT like AJ Styles uses.

You know, that actually would make for a brilliant monster heel. "I don't need special moves for anyone" type who only uses common moves and still manages to beat people without much trouble.

Wonder what he'll choose for his special finisher. How bout the Burning Hammer? I don't remember anybody ever kicking out of that.
Hooray for the Naito cameo. Still waiting for Kenny Omega.

WWE CWC this year, Ibushi kicked out.
But I agree, that was my first thought when they said "killer move".

Goddamn, the music that played during Naito's scene was excellent! Hope we see him more for that theme alone. But of course, I marked out so hard when Naito was even introduced, ESPECIALLY when he did "Tranquilo, assen na yo!"

As for the finisher, I was always hoping for it to be Misawa's Tiger Driver '91.

I must've missed that. Was that a real Burning Hammer or the WWE-version (reverse Fireman's carry slam)? I know that Tyler Reks used that variation.

Oh snap, that's the real deal. How the fuck did Ibushi kick out of that? Is it because he's the real life Tiger Mask?

Burning Hammer is supposed to be banned in the WWE because it's such a dangerous and very unprotected drop to the head. Only Taker can hit the Tombstone, brainbusters need to be preapproved by agents and they've banned piledrivers for a while.

I think Kendrick did this without telling anyone and because of how the match was booked it needed to be kicked out of to continue it. But it does seem like a copout that he kicked out of Kenta Kobashi's move of last resort that he only used 7 times his entire career...it's literally the finisher to trump all finishers.

Tiger Mask's signature killer move is almost complete!
3/5.

It was a nice change of pacing. I hope he can use it on Tiger the dark
