If you\u2019re not familiar with the concept of the show, it\u2019s based on Fox\u2019s mega-successful show, The Masked Singer, where real-life celebrities dress up as colorful characters and try to mask their identity all while singing hit songs. On The Masked Wrestler, various independent wrestlers will dress up and compete in matches under their masks. If they happen to lose the match, they are forced to reveal their identity to the judges and the audience.<\/p>\n<p>The judging panel of\u00a0<strong>WARHORSE<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Edith Surreal<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Matt Tremont<\/strong>\u00a0were back this week \u2014 along with host\u00a0<strong>Larry Legend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you missed the recap of episodes one-three \u2014 check them out <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2022\/01\/27\/iwtv-masked-wrestler-season2-ep1\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2022\/02\/04\/iwtv-the-masked-wrestler-season-2-e2-review-recap\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2022\/02\/12\/iwtv-masked-wrestler-season-2-e3\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Masked Wrestler Match Four: Prince Nemo vs. Big Vlad<\/h2>\n<p>Prince Nemo was introduced first. Although they didn&#8217;t reveal the exact number of years they have been wrestling, they noted that they&#8217;ve &#8220;been in the pond&#8221; for a long time. Nemo didn&#8217;t have much of an opinion about the judges, but their three statements (two true, one false) were: They&#8217;re the whole effing show, They were trained by wrestling royalty, and they ironically hate fish sticks.<\/p>\n<p>Big Vlad (who was dressed like Mordecai from Regular Show) has been wrestling for two years. Their three statements were: They&#8217;re straight edge, They used to work for a major wrestling promotion, and cliff diving is a passionate hobby of theirs.<\/p>\n<p>Prince Nemo dealt out the majority of the punishment in the actual match, as they were the much bigger competitor. Big Vlad showed a ton of resilience and was able to absorb some of it, but would eventually fall victim to a reverse rack bomb from Prince Nemo. While this match was a bit on the longer side of things compared to previous matches, I personally think it fell a little short.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Prince Nemo knocks the feathers out of Big Vlad!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MaskedWrestler?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#MaskedWrestler<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MPOeoijji7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/MPOeoijji7<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/m6RMdaoOCY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/m6RMdaoOCY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; IWTV (@indiewrestling) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/indiewrestling\/status\/1494104364881002498?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>As for my personal guesses, I didn&#8217;t get a good read on either person. Prince Nemo could be somebody like <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/04\/15\/suge-d-the-rise-of-pineapple-pete-in-aew\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Suge D<\/strong><\/a>, while Big Vlad could be <strong>BK Westbrook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As per the rules, the competitor on the losing end must unmask after the judges make their picks. Matt Tremont\u2019s guess was <strong>Dyln McKay<\/strong>, Edith Surreal\u2019s guess was <strong>Space Monkey<\/strong>, and WARHORSE\u2019s guess was<strong> Chase Gold.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Big Vlad was&#8230; Dyln McKay<\/h2>\n<p>Big Vlad was revealed to be Dyln McKay! McKay, who was trained by Matt Tremont, comes out of the New Jersey area and primarily wrestles for H20 and GCW. His lie was that he used to work for a major wrestling promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Since Tremont guessed right, all three of the judges are tied with one point apiece as we head into the semi-finals.<\/p>\n<h3>IWTV The Masked Wrestler S2 Episode 4 Review<\/h3>\n<p>Although there was nothing particularly bad about it, I found episode 4 of The Masked Wrestler to be the least interesting thus far. The characters had potential but didn&#8217;t really have creative clues or hints about who they could be. And as previously mentioned, the match was rather subpar.<\/p>\n<p>The semi-finals start next week, so we can expect to find out new information of some characters that have already been introduced this season.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in checking out The\u00a0<em>Masked Wrestler<\/em>, you can sign up for an IWTV subscription\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/independentwrestling.tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Masked Wrestler on IWTV rolled on this week, as the reality-based show premiered its fourth episode on Wednesday night just an hour before AEW Dynamite went on the air.
