The Masked Wrestler<\/em><\/strong> on IWTV<\/strong> rolled on this week, as the reality-based show moved onto the second round and premiered Episode 5 on Wednesday night just an hour before AEW Dynamite<\/em><\/strong> went on the air. If you\u2019re not familiar with the concept of the show, it\u2019s based on Fox\u2019s mega-successful show, The Masked Singer<\/em>, where real-life celebrities dress up as colorful characters and try to mask their identity all while singing hit songs. On The Masked Wrestler<\/em>, 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

The judging panel of\u00a0WARHORSE<\/strong>,\u00a0Edith Surreal<\/strong>, and\u00a0Matt Tremont<\/strong>\u00a0were back this week \u2014 along with host\u00a0Larry Legend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

IWTV The Masked Wrestler Match Five<\/h2>\n

Prince Nemo vs. El Gato Blanco<\/h3>\n

Since we are in the second round, there were no new clues given about the competitors. In his pre-match promo, Blanco made a bunch of fish references since he is a cat.<\/p>\n

The in-ring product had much more ‘production’ this time around. When Nemo threw punches, animated water came out along with the sound of waves crashing. When Blanco was involved in fist-to-fist combat, cat-like noises emerged (that were added in post-production). If you like this type of thing in wrestling, it was largely entertaining and definitely fit the vibe of the show.<\/p>\n
