THE FIRST TIGER MASK 45th Anniversary Special Event Ticket

Overview

Strong Style Pro Wrestling presents a historic celebration honoring the legendary First Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama. This special event marks the 45th anniversary of the Tiger Mask persona and the 50th anniversary of Sayama’s professional wrestling debut. Known for revolutionizing the industry with his high-flying “Strong Style” and martial arts-infused technique, Sayama remains one of the most influential figures in global wrestling history.

Unlike a standard wrestling card, the April 28th event is a “Premium Talk & Screening” festival. It features a rare gathering of Japanese wrestling royalty to share stories of the legend’s legacy, coupled with large-screen viewings of his most iconic matches from his New Japan Pro-Wrestling era. Fans will have the unique opportunity to experience the “shock and exhilaration” of the Tiger Mask era alongside the pioneers who were in the ring with him.
