Every Time Jushin Liger Unmasked Ranked From Worst To Best

4. Vs The Great Muta - 1996

The original release of Kishin Liger makes for a remarkable reveal, though the loss he suffers to legendary partner and rival The Great Muta after the chaos of the scene undermines the impact of the character's emergence on rewatch.

Like three of the four occurrences in this list, it comes out of nowhere within the body of the match, despite Liger having full justification for releasing the 'Beast God Of Thunder' deeply embedded within his psyche. Enraged by Muta's cheating throughout, Liger well and truly has enough of his sh*t at about the 6:30 mark when he goes for his sacred mask.

Unmasking himself to reduce the power of the moment, an insane Kishi sprays Muta with his own green mist before racing to the floor to procure a steel chair to fight his foe on his terms. The sort of moment that would be saved for the very end of the match in modern times, the palpable shock in the crowd remains magnificent despite the defeat.
