Masked Horse Debuts In NJPW
During the weekend’s Road To Tokyo Dome events, a masked wrestler named Masked Horse debuted in New Japan. During a post-match interview, Masked Horse said he was “abandoned by [his] parents as a child,” and “raised by horses.”
Masked Horse bears a resemblance to Taguchi Japan head coach Ryusuke Taguchi.
