8 Best Masked Wrestling Returns

Hold on, I know, I know, BUSHI always wears a mask.

But after Tetsuya Naito returned from an excursion in Mexico with a new attitude and a new stable - Los Ingobernables de Japon - Naito would often wear masks to the ring before his matches.

So when a masked figure emerged before Naito's match on the first night of The 2015 World Tag League, everyone assumed it was Naito. Instead, it was a returning BUSHI, who had been sidelined for months after a career-threatening injury.

BUSHI's appearance, as well as his recruitment into Los Ingobernables, was a genuine surprise, strengthening the nascent group in its earliest days and adding a cunning, mist-spewing heel into the mix.
