AMERICA While in Japan and Mexico masks are a sign of tradition, they are generally considered by many in America to be a deathblow to a wrestlers' character. Very few masked wrestlers have succeeded in becoming popular (with exceptions such as Mr. Wrestling Tim Woods , Masked Superstar , Mick Foley , Kane , Abyss , and Rey Mysterio ) and generally are considered as Jobbers . The belief is that fans want to see a face and will only get behind a wrestler that shows it. JAPAN
In Japan, most masked wrestlers can be found in the Junior Heavyweight divisions, as they prefer to follow the pattern set by Mascaras and Sayama of being a masked wrestler who can do high-flying moves in the ring. Current masked wrestlers stars in Japan: Black Strong Machine ( Junji Hirata ), Jushin Liger , El Samurai , Tiger Mask IV , Ultimo Dragon , The Great Sasuke . |
