Masked wrestlers

[Guest razazteca]

How did the Tiger Mask get passed from the orginal wrestler to the other 4 wrestlers who has used it?  Was it ever explained on how Misawa was given the mask?

 

Who are the three Black Tigers?  How was Silver King choosen as the 3rd person to wear the mask?

 

Why is there a Psicosis in AAA, did Nicho give him permission to wear the mask or what?

 

Will there ever be a Rey Misterio 3? if there will be another one I think Red of the SAT would be great wrestler to wear the mask.

Misawa got it when All Japan bought the gimmick from New Japan after Sayama retired.

 

Kanemoto got it when New Japan bought it back from All Japan

 

Care to guess how TM4 got it?

 

Black Tiger 1: Mark Rocco (I think)

Black Tiger 2: Eddie Guerrero

Black Tiger 3: Silver King

 

New Japan owns the rights to the name Black Tiger, they chose Silver King for the gimmick.

 

AAA owns the rights to the name Psicosis (like WWF does Razor Ramon), they gave the mask to the other guy, Nacho has nothing to do with it.

 

Rey Jr. was Rey Myesterio's nephew, maybe Rey has a cousin or something to be Rey Mysterio III

so do the new guys just show up and claim to be the mask man, just like New Diesil and New Razor did in WWF?

 

so they keep it in the family or become a company man, that explains alot.

 

I brought this up because I saw a EMLL PPV tape  from 1999, I think, on a web site that had to Luchadores fighting over the name and mask rights to Mr. Niebla.

Its sort of like Deisel and Razor in the sense that they didn't claim to be Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.
