|  #1 Posted on 26.3.05 2333.10 | Instant Rating: 2.33 | Just wondering if anyone can clear something up for me. When I first got into wrestling, it was in 1983 or 1984. The first match I saw was Paul Orndorff (face) against some jobber called either Mr. X, Mr. Tiger, or Tiger X, Tiger Mask, Tiger Lee, or something like that. He was sorta chubby and a heel. Does anyone know who I'm talking about? I looked it up on google but was unable to find an answer.
Thanks in advance if you're able to clear this up for me.

He jumped to the UWF in 1984 and stopped being called Tiger Mask. Either way, I'd imagine that the WWF would use international stars as enhancement talent.
