The legendary Jushin "Thunder" Liger unveiled his extremely rare Kishin Liger alter-ego at today's New Japan Pro Wrestling Destruction in Kobe event during an Eight-Man Tag Team Match.

Liger was battling fellow Japanese legend Minoru Suzuki when Suzuki applied a Sleeper Hold to Liger. Liger responded with a kick to the groin and then unmasked, revealing his Kishin Liger persona.

Kishin Liger could be compared to Finn Bálor's "Demon King" persona or Bray Wyatt's new "Fiend" persona, although Kishin Liger has only made four appearances throughout the course of Jushin Liger's career, which has spanned nearly four decades now.
