NJPW’s Best of the Super Juniors became an episode of Dragon Ball on its fifth night.
In the middle of a match between Master Wato and Ninja Mack, Wato fell out of sight of the cameras. A stunned Ninja Mack looked around for him. Mack finally left the ring and searched the floor. He looked under the ring but no Wato. Wato emerged wearing his own blue ninja mask.
Mack and Wato stared at each other from across the ring both appearing to mirror the other’s moves. They locked hands circling each other. Mack lashed out with some chops. Ninja Wato blocked and then borrowing from Dragonball’s Goku he shot out a Kamehameha knocking Mack clean out of the ring. Ninja Wato dove over the top ropes flattening Mack.
As Ninja Wato attempted to get back into the ring Ninja Mack kicked him off the apron. In some truly insane crazy stuff, Mack springboarded off the far ropes, did flips across the ring, over the top rope to the floor and kept on flipping finally coming to a stop. What in the world did I just see?
The Ninjas strike and dodge on the floor. Wato flips Mack off the apron. Ninja Mack lands on his feet. Ninja Wato turns around and Mack nails him with a roundhouse kick to the face. Ninja Mack rips off Wato’s mask. He hands it to the English announce team. Back in the ring, Mack lays in some kicks. Mack lands a Tornado Kick in the back of Wato’s head for a two. As Mack dives off the top rope, Wato puts his knees up. He pretzels Mack up in the Vendeval forcing him to tap out.
