My favorite named one (because I love broken English) is Osaka Pro (hey Gordi!)'s Tiger's Mask.

No apostrophe. He's named after the Hanshin Tigers Baseball Team.

There is also the active heir Super Tiger 2. And another guy went by the name The Great Tiger in Sayama's RJPW.

MMA fighter Kozo Urita dropped the Tiger Shark gimmick and renamed himself Blue Shark. He was "excommunicated" from RJPW.

Anyway, in praise of Tony I'm impressed the way he's been able to work with NJPW, AAA and now CMLL with all of the delicate politics involved.  

This is worth mentioning! I’ve always been impressed with this about AEW. Although I’m not huge on the amount of belts we regularly see from other companies, it is very cool that AEW is very much in the Wrestling Universe and actively referenced rivalries and wrestlers from other companies. Kingston vs Shibata being King’s Road vs Strong Style was cool as hell. Seeing AAA stuff and now CMLL stuff is wild. New Japan guys like Ospreay and Sabre jr is very very cool. The Suzuki pops still make me so happy. AEW is a beautiful thing.

I forgot to do the Black Tigers! But that's easy too, Rollerball Rocco and then Eddie, and I think that's it?

Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero were also Black Tigers at various points in time.

Silver King was Black Tiger after Eddie, but before Rocky.

Which gave us one of my all time favorite CMLL skits and the first video I ever posted to YouTube.

We've already seen Octopuscito, you'll have to get permission for that after he grows up.

I too prefer the Spanish James Bond dubs.

If I'm ranking Rocky, Silver King, Eddie, and Rocco, I have Rocco as #4, especially as Black Tiger. He bugs me in that role.

His matches were the shits on the NJPW '80s set. Rocco/Sayama was #173 out of 175 in the rankings for it!

Rocco wasn’t for everyone, that’s for sure. What do you think of his UK work?

El Hijo del Octopus 2 Jr 

So here’s the Octopus-gun as we know it.

Me - Octopus

My Son / lil Octopus - El Hijo del Octopus

My future grandson - El Hijo del Octopus jr

My replacement (I’m voting for Japanese Letters aka the artist formally known as DZ if he wants a new name and would bring honor to my gimmick) - Octopus II

DZ’s kid - El Hijo del Octopus II

DZ’s grandkid - El Hijo del Octopus II jr

the pattern goes on from there. We can also include other variants like Blue Octopus, Red Octopus, Steel Octopus, Octopus D if @Matt D ever gets tired of treadmilling on land , etc.
