NJPW has announced that:
“After a 31 year career, the fourth generation of Tiger Mask will call it a career on July 7. His retirement card on Korakuen Hall will see a tribute to not only his own career, but the history of Tiger mask at large, and Tiger Mask IV will be doing double duty on the evening. !
While Magnus has taken the mantle of the ninth and latest Black Tiger in CMLL, it is with the fourth iteration of the nefarious masked man that Tiger Mask IV has the deepest connection to. A heated rivalry through the mid 2000s would flare up again in 2009, ending in a Ryogoku Hall IWGP Junior Heavyweight title versus mask match. Black Tiger would lose the apuestas bout and reveal himself as Rocky Romero; now 17 years on, Rocky will don the mask for one night only to take on the old enemy one more time.
While Tiger Mask versus Black Tiger is a feud that goes beyond the ring and into the original Tiger Mask anime and manga, in NJPW and around the world, one rivalry has defined the Tiger Mask legend throughout the generations. On April 23 1981, Satoru Sayama made his first appearance as the original Tiger Mask, facing British great the Dynamite Kid, and the feud between the two men, ever escalating as Dynamite tried and tried again to beat his nemesis entranced fans everywhere from Kuramae in Tokyo to Madison Square Garden in New York. Now, 45 years on, Tiger Mask versus Dynamite Kid is at the top of a billing once more, as the 24 year old nephew of the original Dynamite, Tommy Billington takes on the fourth Tiger Mask on this special night.”
