Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted November 20, 2002 From the Sheepherders shoot: Butch claims to have been “the first ever original Tiger Mask” on his second tour, predating Satoru Sayama. Butch admits he wasn’t the talent that Sayama was, so things worked out when Butch he didn’t return Inoki’s call after a tour and Sayama was given the retooled gimmick and made it his own. I would have to say no, but I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted November 21, 2002 Making fun of Nova is SO 1999. Isn't Jericho the current Internet Wipping Boy Not Named HHH? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jubuki Report post Posted November 21, 2002 Jericho doesn't go around claiming he was Black Tiger before Eddy and Silver King got the gimmick (though if he did, he'd probably say they called him Black Tigger and that's why it never caught on). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted November 21, 2002 Wait - did Nova actually claim to be the first Black Tiger, or was that just an extension of the "Nova thinks he invented everything good about wrestling" joke? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
