Every Time Jushin Liger Unmasked Ranked From Worst To Best

1. Vs Taichi & Taka Michinoku - 2012

Kishin Liger
NJPW

A fabulous festival of frivolity and wicked violence, Kishin's 2012 appearance against Suzuki-gun sh*thouses Taka Michinoku and Taichi at New Japan Pro Wrestling's is a non-stop series of pops as he hits both of them with the red mist and again attempts murder with a missed spike attack.

Taichi had it all coming of course. Working at his premium a*shole peak, the former NEVER Champion ripped off Liger's horns after both had constantly gone for the mask throughout.

Kishin missed with the spike, but didn't waste the table - Taichi was Liger Bombed through the table at the electrifying conclusion. Partner Taka Michinoku was easy pickings for partner Tiger Mask IV. Struck with a Tiger Suplex whilst still selling the shock and awe of Kishin, Michinoku was easily beaten in the aftermath of the chaos.

By virtue of the win, Liger and partner Tiger Mask IV were crowned IWGP Junior Tag Team Champions, ending a period of abeyance for the belts.
