- Among Tiger's Cave's assassins, we have Mr. No... That looks like he has a literal dick for a head. It's actually a rubber suit, and the suit's head is above the wearer's actual head and hides a cannonball... Leading to Tiger Mask trolling everyone by ripping away the fake head and briefly pretending to have murdered the guy before showing off the trick.
- When Mr. X is sent to Tiger's Cave underground wrestling circuit to recruit Mr. Kamikaze to fight Tiger Mask he sees how good he is, and states that he will defeat Tiger Mask as soon as they track him down. Mr. Kamikaze's reply? Pointing at Tiger Mask standing on the ring post and looking at them.
- Mr. X's massive You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! moment, in which he nearly fainted as his mind tried to process what he was seeing... And then his realization that not only Naoto Date is just the kind of man who'd do it and expect to get away with it, he had just done so the moment he got on the ring (Tiger Cave's rules forbid to unmask a fighter unless he's defeated).
- Making all of the above much funnier is that Mr. X approached Kamikaze right after he had won a match and come down of the ring... Meaning Tiger Mask got on that ring post by calmly walking by Mr. X, who was too engrossed by his conversation with Kamikaze to notice.
- When Tiger Mask is revealed to the presents, everyone laughs. Including the bouncers.
- In the manga, after Mr. X kidnaps Kenta Tiger Mask decides to break with his friends in the JWA to protect them and starts insulting them... And Baba, remembering the previous two times he pulled this, just asks why he feels he's gonna die this time.
- Late in the manga, a group of bouncers from Las Vegas' casinos are trying to intimidate Big Condor into not holding his tournament every day as gamblers don't come to the casinos anymore, and refuse to listen when he explains he has thought it through and both him and their bosses would make more money this way. What does Big Condor do? He has the bouncers deal with Freddie Blassie, Sky Hi Lee, and Dick the Bruiser. Who is pissed because, being a former bouncer, their stupidity is making him look bad. Cue the wrestlers intimidating the bouncers with some of their tricks:
- The bouncers tried to call for armed reinforcements as soon as they saw the wrestlers. Blassie ate the phone.
- After seeing Dick ripping a phone book (his signature trick during press conferences, that during his time as a bouncer normally intimidated angry customers into compliance without him having to touch them) and Blassie throwing the bouncers' knives at Lee without drawing blood (Lee didn't have a signature trick, so he improvised and told Blassie to throw the knives at him), the already terrified bouncers are too scared to move... Or even to shit themselves, in spite of the wrestlers trying to help them doing just that as you do with little children.
