The competitors of the SWF had had enough of the brutality of the Dark Dynasty. In response, they formed a coalition to fight against the Dark Dynasty and expel them from the organization.
The two leaders of the coalition were two luchadors who'd fought alongside and against Black Mask since his days doing local shows in Mexico. It was King Mystery and Cinco Jr.
King Mystery was an older man with a slight but athletic build, he wore a colorful luchador mask with a question mark on it. Cinco Jr. had a black and gold luchador outfit with a mask that featured a skull motif.
They both made their way out to the center of the ring and grabbed a microphone and started to state their demands.
"We have had enough of the behavior from the Dark Dynasty. They act like thugs and treat this whole organization like it's theirs to do whatever they want with. Well we aren't going to stand for this anymore." King Question said.
"We've known Black Mask since he was a kid just getting his start back in Mexico, and this isn't the same guy we used to know. If we have to we'll beat some sense back in to him." Cinco Jr. added.
Suddenly Black Mask's music played over the speakers and he made his way into the ring.
"Is that so? Well let's put that to the test, what do you say?" Black Mask said as he stepped into the ring. "So? Which one of you losers are going first?"
"As much as we'd love to personally shut you up ourselves, we have someone in mind that has an even more personal interest in this than any of us." King Mystery said.
"Who could that possibly be?"
Just as Black Mask was finished speaking, a man appeared on the big screen. He was a large muscular man who wore a tiger print luchador mask.
For the first time, the usually calm and confident Black Mask had a very clear look of fear of fear on his face.
"Long time no see." The man said.
"That's right. We got your old mentor, the legendary luchador, El Tigre Mask!" Cinco Jr. said.
"I heard that you've been giving these boys a hard time. Well as the man who trained you, I suppose I have an obligation to fix things. I'm still in Mexico right now, but next week on Knockdown, I'll show you how a true luchador handles himself. A lesson you seem to have forgotten."
"Well, we'll see about that." Black Mask said trying to sound confident still.
A week later, it was finally time for the confrontation between the leaders of the coalition and Black Mask. King Mystery and Cinco Jr.
"And now introducing for the first time in the United States! The legendary luchador! El Tigre Mask!"
A man walks to the ring with a tiger print Luchador mask and tiger print pants. He's an extremely muscular man with wild black hair. The crowd went absolutely wild seeing this legend in person for the first time.
"Hola Senior Mask, it's been too long. Of course, I wish we could be meeting again under better circumstances." King Mystery said as he entered the ring.
"Of course, I agree, but only a situation as serious as this could cause me to get back in the ring in the first place." El Tigre Mask responded.
"So? Where is Black Mask? Don't tell me he got scared and won't show up." Cinco Jr. said.
Suddenly Black Mask appeared on the screen.
"You think I'm scared? It's the three of you that were too afraid to fight me until it was three against one." Black Mask said from the video screen. "And for your information, I am here already.
The group looked around and saw nothing. Then the lights went out for a moment before coming back on again. To their surprise, nobody appeared before them. Suddenly, El Tigre Mask started laughing.
"What's wrong Senior Mask?" Cinco Jr. asked.
"You two still haven't noticed have you?" El Tigre Mask asked, but his voice suddenly sounded a bit different.
"What are you talking about Senior Mask?" Cinco Jr. asked.
"You're not making any sense." King Mystery added.
El Tigre Mask brought his hands up to his face and took off his mask. Doing so he revealed, another mask! The mask in question belonged to none other than Black Mask.
"Black Mask! El canalla! What did you do with El Tigre Mask!" King Mystery asked in a rage.
"You still don't understand, there never was an El Tigre Mask, or rather he's been here all along." Black Mask replied.
"What are you talking about?" Cinco Jr. asked.
"I AM El Tigre Mask!"
"What? That's impossible! El Tigre Mask is a legend that's been around for decades. You couldn't possibly be him."
"Has he? Who told you that?"
"What are you?-"
"I started wrestling when I was only 12 years old. However, my physical abilities were already at a level far above the average adult. From my first match people just assumed that I was a seasoned veteran and so the legend of El Tigre Mask was born."
"S-So the legend of El Tigre Mask was just a misunderstanding? I can't believe that!" Cinco Jr. shouted out.
"Yeah, El Tigre was supposed to be the one who trained you, how do you explain that?" King Mystery asked.
"When I changed to Black Mask people noticed that I wrestled like El Tigre Mask. Again they just assumed that I must be his student."
"That's unbelievable." King Mystery said.
"Well you better believe it basura! Nobody ever taught me anything! I did it all myself! It was all me! Me! ME!" Black Mask shouted like a mad man.
"He's totally lost it. We have to stop him." King Mystery said to which Cinco Jr. nodded in agreement. They both prepared to charge Black Mask.
"Oh? Do you trash actually have the backbone to fight me even though it's only 2 on 1?" Black Mask mocked.
"Don't underestimate us." Cinco Jr. said as the two prepared to charge Black Mask.
The referee quickly got in the ring as the officials scrambled to ring the bell to start the match, which they managed to do just as Black Mask landed his first strike.
The first punch sent Cinco Jr. flying into the mat. King Mystery managed to trip Black Mask into the ropes. As he leaned against the middle rope, King Mystery prepared to land his signature move.
"Oh? He's going for his signature, Question. Kick!" Ted announced excitedly.
As Black Mask was leaning against the ropes King Mystery dove through the ropes and spun around to kick him in the face. However, as he attempted to do so Black Mask caught him and bashed him over his knee before throwing him down into the mat.
"Did you really think I'd fall for that old trick?"
"Well what about this?" Cinco Jr. shouted as he jumped from the top rope.
He would go for a missile drop kick, but his foot was caught by Black Mask and he was slammed into the ground like a ragdoll.
"You two are pathetic, even two on one you two are no match for me." Black Mask said as he spit on the ground. "To think that they used to say that you two were in par with me. Just considering that, being compared to trash like you two. Makes me sick!" Black Mask then proceeded to brutally kick and stomp the two while they were down.
