Charlie Brown from Outta Town	comment	So, the heel cheated in a Loser Leaves Town match, or he got in the ear of an authority figure, and now a popular face has found himself unceremoniously ousted from the promotion. The fans of the face are screaming for justice. But never fear, Charlie Brown from Outta Town, the mysterious masked wrestler with an oddly familiar build and wrestling style, is here... Charlie Brown from Outta Town is a pretty standard angle in Professional Wrestling; the face, who's been unjustly barred from the promotion, takes up a disguise and works to get himself reinstated and take revenge on the heels who cheated him. The trope's named for the particular implementation of the angle on Jimmy Valiant; after he lost a Loser Leaves Town match, a new wrestler, calling himself Charlie Brown from Outta Town, showed up, wearing a mask, but oddly enough, with Valiant's signature three-foot beard. These masks aren't really meant to fool anybody, just create an air of "reasonable" doubt. The heels will often complain to the authority figure that the face is skirting the terms of his contract; however, a face authority figure will remain willfully ignorant of the masked man's identity, and a heel authority figure will bemoan the masked man's "iron-clad contract" (just how somebody can sign an "iron-clad contract" without revealing his real name is never really elaborated upon). Either way, the heels are left with only one alternative; reveal Charlie Brown's true identity, and send him packing for good this time! Eventually, Charlie Brown gets the face reinstated, clears his good name, exhausts the "leaves town" period of the stipulation, or what have you, and rides off into the sunset just as the face returns and gives a big speech thanking his "good friend" who helped him so much. The most common subversion was to have the masked wrestler in danger of being unmasked and "permanently suspended," only for the "banned" wrestler to suddenly rush to ringside and cheer him on; this of course always involved a similar-looking alternate in the mask for that match. Of course, this is the happy ending to the story, but it's not the only possible ending; in one particular case, Mr. America was finally unmasked, revealing Hulk Hogan, who was subsequently fired (though it must be noted that this subversion was not the original plan; it was an instance of Real Life Writes the Plot, as Hogan had held out for more money once his contract expired). This trope is something of an artifact. Throughout the territorial days of professional wrestling, there were a great number of masked wrestlers up and down the card, to where announcing the debut of a "new masked wrestler" on television was not an uncommon occurrence. Nowadays, not many non-Mexican wrestlers (most luchadores wear masks, and the mask has an entirely different meaning in Mexico) wear masks, making a "masked wrestler" stick out like a sore thumb. The Trope Namer is presumably Peanuts, but no relation otherwise. Compare The Real Remington Steele, which is when the "Charlie Brown" persona returns as a Legacy Character coexisting with the original.

To anyone paying attention to capes, the switch is blatant, but it's a PR move that keeps a useful asset from effectively being permanently retired.

Subverted in the movie's climax, when Mad Dog shows up to interfere in a Battle Royal being held to fill the vacant championship, to stop The Mask from taking Captain Carnage's head off the same way. The end of the movie features the filmmakers trying to figure out who the hell The Mask was if he wasn't Mad Dog.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_24b89d55	comment	One of the weirdest variations occurred in 2022. A new wrestler named Ezekiel debuted, claiming to be the younger brother of Elias (who had left after burning his guitar the year prior). The weird part is that Ezekiel doesn't wear a mask, but is just the same wrestler clean-shaven, with a different hairdo, and sporting Ultimate Warrior-style armbands and trunks instead of jeans. Only Kevin Owens seems to see through the act.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons once did a hilarious subversion of this basic trope in "Fear Of Flying". After Homer was banned from Moe's Tavern, a man who looks and sounds suspiciously like Homer wearing a top hat, suit, and fake mustache and who goes by the name "Guy Incognito" shows up and asks Moe if he may "trouble Moe for a drink." Moe roughs up "Guy" and throws him out of the bar; at which point a dejected Homer walks by and is shocked to see that Guy looks exactly like him! He is soon distracted by a dog with a puffy tail, however.

Her task was to masquerade as Honky's roadie while lobbing distractions at his opponent. Honky's agent, Jimmy Hart, also dressed up as "Peggy" on the occasions that he was banned from ringside.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_2967354b	comment	A more recent, heel example happened when Paul Burchill feuded with the Hurricane; Burchill was trying to prove that Hurricane was really Gregory Helms (which isn't this trope, Hurricane is a superhero gimmick with a secret identity), so they had a match with the stipulation that if Burchill won, Hurricane would unmask, if Hurricane won, Burchill would retire. Hurricane won, and a week later he was assaulted by a masked villain known as The Ripper (as in General Ripper, whom Burchil was a Fan Boy of in OVW, or maybe Jack because he's British). A week after that, The Ripper returned with a valet known as "The Beautiful Nightmare" (his "sister" Katie Lea in an even less convincing mask) but Hurricane won again, de-masking Burchill and sending him home. Sort of a lost opportunity, really; Burchill was an outstanding performer, and the angle was so ridiculous that it couldn't help but be funny.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_2f27f278	comment	Tiger Mask W examples: Played with a few little known wrestlers and It's-The-Ace, alias Hiroshi Tanahashi. Tanahashi was almost recognized, but stopped using that persona before the public could make the connection. Deconstructed again when Billy the Kidman impersonated Yellow Devil: at first he wasn't recognized, but the moment he used a headbutt Daisuke realized the switch. Later Kaioh Mikasa too impersonated Yellow Devil, and Tiger the Dark, as furious as he was at seeing the mask, realized the switch as soon as they started fighting by the strength difference. Justified with the new Tiger Mask and Tiger the Dark, as their pre-mask careers consisted literally of a single fight with each other before they disappeared from the wrestling scene for almost three years, after which they appeared with completely different styles. Also Justified with Fukuwara Mask and Tiger the Great the Third, as they completely changed their styles and on-ring personas from when they fought as Keiji Tanaka and Yellow Devil, allowing them to go on unrecognized for three years. They recognized each other immediately when they fought (at which point The Third stopped pretending), but even that is Justified due them having been part of the same stable before changing gimmicks, and even then The Third managed to fool another member of their group for all that time.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_2f8f16ed	comment	Played straight AND subverted with "El Gran Luchadore." When the late Eddie Guerrero was fighting John "Bradshaw" Layfield for the WWE Championship Title, the supposed "champion of Mexico" was making guest appearances on Smackdown. Then El Gran Luchadore attacked JBL in the ring, pulling off all of Guerrero's moves and then declaring (in a voice that sounded a lot like Eddie) that he and Eddie were very close. The next week, Eddie and JBL were fighting for the title in a cage match - until Luchadore came out... and helped JBL win the match! Luchadore was then unmasked and revealed to be - Kurt Angle, who was supposed to be permanently confined to a wheelchair due to an assault by Big Show weeks earlier. Amazingly enough, this angle resurfaced on Smackdown over a decade later with the Smackdown Women's Champion Alexa Bliss wrestling against "La Luchadora" (really a masked Becky Lynch). Over the next few weeks Becky gets attacked by two La Luchadoras, one being Alexa and the other a returning Mickie James.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_38974f2	comment	The King of Fighters: King of Dinosaurs, the "new" Masked Luchador in The King of Fighters XIV is quite obviously Tizoc (last seen in 2003 and XI) in a new costume—one that mostly retains his red color scheme, at that—trying to be a Heel (he's pretty prone to slipping into Face thinking during his attacks). Terry, for one, isn't remotely fooled by the getup and compliments him on his new outfit and gimmick. It doesn't help that, despite his moveset being overhauled, two of Tizoc's trademark moves are still employed by King of Dinosaurs: Justice Hurricane and Big Fall Griffon (though they've been renamed Zetsumetsu Hurricane and Super Zetsumetsu Hurricane). Tizoc is basically doing this due to an off-screen loss to newcomer Nelson: he wants a grudge match, but that's not appropriate behavior for a Face. The King of Fighters XV introduces us to Krohnen: a blue-haired, yellow-wearing man with ties to NESTS. Hey, remember K9999, a blue-haired, yellow-wearing blatant ripoff of AKIRA's Tetsuo Shima with ties to NESTS that showed up in 2001 and 2002 before never being heard from since?

Alternatively, if the United States enters a second Civil War with the Confederacy as the victors, then a German architect named Adam Hilt will offer himself as Douglas MacArthur's replacement. If you are playing as Germany itself, then a few years after Hitler's presumed death you can get an event in which you recruit a new spy: either Achim Hund (Hitler with a bigger moustache) or Andrea Hund (Hitler in drag).

A severely burned and disfigured man appears with information about the alien conspiracy, claiming to have been sent by Agent Mulder, who at the time was on the run from the conspiracy. When a DNA test shows that he's a match for Mulder, it's assumed that he actually is Mulder scarred beyond recognition (and in order to have Mulder appear in the series without David Duchovny's presence), until at episode's end it's revealed that he is in fact Mulder's long assumed dead half-brother Jeffrey Spender.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_6ab7b407	comment	Lee Chaolan is nowhere to be found in Tekken 3 or Tekken 4, but in 4 there is a guy named Violet who looks almost exactly like him, only with dark purple hair. He also wears sunglasses that can be knocked off during a fight. And he has Lee as an unlockable alternate costume. Lee wasn't fooling anybody, and dropped the act for Tekken 5. This particular case is justified in that Lee had been exiled from the Mishima Zaibatsu on the threat of death in 2 after being defeated by Heihachi. Though he abided by this for Tekken 3, his curiosity was piqued by a recent attack on G Corporation by the Zaibatsu in 4 and he decided to investigate, leading to the creation of his Violet alias to protect his identity. It's still a pretty terrible "disguise", and Lee decided to say "screw it" for all games after.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_80401c5c	comment	TNA are now (May 2009) running a similar angle on their TV show, with the Motor City Machine Guns trying to prove that Suicide (yes, TNA used a real wrestler to portray an original character from their videogame) is actually Christopher Daniels. The truth is... complicated, but the short form is that Suicide was going to be Frankie Kazarian, but when he was injured Daniels took on the role, but Kazarian took the mask back just as this angle began. This was quietly dropped after Daniels and Suicide appeared in the ring at the same time, and the mask was passed to a third person (Kiyoshi) and many others. It would finally be played straight again when Austin Aries stole the mask, leading the "legit" at that time Suicide (TJP) to go by Manik to distance himself from Aries. On a related note, in 2020, TJP dusted off his old Manik persona (now with a different mask) in order to compete for the X Division Championship, as TJP had been banned from receiving title matches after a loss to Rohit Raju.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_8bb9434c	comment	One week after The Miz was fired from Raw (thanks to special guest Jeremy Piven) after losing to John Cena, a pole match was made where the winner would grab a contract and become a new Raw Superstar. The participants were the returning Eugene and Calgary Kid, a masked Canadian wrestler (after all, the show was in Calgary). After Calgary Kid grabs the contract, he attacks Eugene and tears off the mask to reveal... The Miz. A bit of a subversion, as it wasn't that obvious that The Miz was under the mask until after the match when he used the Skull-Crushing Finale on Eugene before unmasking. This was part of Sgt. Slaughter's run as the guest host of Raw, where he showed disrespect towards Canada and proved the United States superior. Ultimately, Eugene was released a week later, and The Miz later became WWE Champion.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_8df4eb7a	comment	Played with in Dramatic Dream Team spinoff promotion Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling. In a somewhat (by DDT standards anyway) straight example, Yuka Sakazaki took a sabbatical from the promotion in order to get stronger after a string of poor performances in the tail end of 2016. However, taking her place would be her previously unknown "twin sister", the masked luchadora Mil Clown. After around six months, Mil Clown announced that her sister would be coming back, but she would be leaving to go back to their home of Magic Country. A somewhat less straight example in the case of Saki Akai. In TJPW she eventually left for Paris and came back as a self-absorbed woman obsessed with beauty now calling herself Saki-nami. She was accompanied by her maid, a young girl named Martha who was definitely not male wrestler Masa Takanashi. She eventually became a megalomaniac and renamed herself again to Saki-sama while renaming her team to SIN Biishiki-gun (and eventually to NEO Biishiki-gun) and her stable grew to include Yukio Saint Laurent, her personal doctor (and not DDT wrestler Yukio Sakaguchi dressed up as Black Jack). While Martha and Yukio Saint Laurent left, they were replaced by Azusa Christie, formerly know as Azusa Takigawa, who Saki-sama kidnapped and brainwashed into being her personal nun in order to spread the gospel of Saki-sama. In DDT (and other joshi promotions), however, she still performs as Saki Akai, with Saki-sama essentially being treated as an entirely different person.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_93c8f8ff	comment	Tiger Mask, being a series where Pro Wrestling Is Real, has quite some fun with this trope: Discussed early on, when Tiger Mask recollects the story of what happened when a Tiger's Cave wrestler who didn't want to pay the organization 50% of his earnings used a different mask to wrestle: Tiger's Cave identified him immediately from his build and style and sent wrestlers with orders to hit him exclusively in the head until he threw himself under a train. That's why, when Tiger Mask rebelled, he didn't bother to use a different mask. Justified during the Maskmen World Championship: Tiger Mask knows personally five of the other wrestlers, as two of them are fellow Tiger's Cave pupils who were trained with him and three others were their trainers, but in the tournament they wore heavily concealing costumes and he never saw any of them actually fight due three being trainers and the other two quite inferior to him. Efficiently Deconstructed in the same tournament with Great Zebra, alias Giant Baba: knowing how hard it is to pull this off, Baba wore a costume that completely concealed his body and subtly altered his voice and refrained from using the one distinctive part of his style, namely kicking with his giant feet, but Tiger Mask, who is formidable at analyzing and recognizing moves, recognized him anyway from his awesome strength and skill and the moment when he nearly used his signature move. Inverted by Tiger Mask himself during his stint as an underground wrestler: knowing he would have been recognized anyway had he just used a different mask, he went into Tiger's Cave underground fighting arena with his mask, where the managers, believing he was a wrestler with a weird sense of humor, laughed and sent him on the ring. They quickly recognized him as the real deal once he started fighting (in fact Mr. X recognized him by the very fact he was there), but by that point their own rules prevented them from unmasking him unless he was defeated (and Mr. X showed up too late to order a check). Justified in the manga with the fake Tiger Mask: for the impersonation Tiger's Cave picked a wrestler with identical build (to the point that, during their training, the coaches couldn't tell them from each other from behind) and trained him for years until he could mimick the original's style and voice to perfection, with even their weight when they finally fought being the same. And given Tiger Mask hides his identity from everyone, when Giant Baba claims Tiger Mask was with him when the fake crippled a wrestler, it was pointed out that he couldn't be sure which one was the imposter. Tiger Mask W examples: Played with a few little known wrestlers and It's-The-Ace, alias Hiroshi Tanahashi. Tanahashi was almost recognized, but stopped using that persona before the public could make the connection. Deconstructed again when Billy the Kidman impersonated Yellow Devil: at first he wasn't recognized, but the moment he used a headbutt Daisuke realized the switch. Later Kaioh Mikasa too impersonated Yellow Devil, and Tiger the Dark, as furious as he was at seeing the mask, realized the switch as soon as they started fighting by the strength difference. Justified with the new Tiger Mask and Tiger the Dark, as their pre-mask careers consisted literally of a single fight with each other before they disappeared from the wrestling scene for almost three years, after which they appeared with completely different styles. Also Justified with Fukuwara Mask and Tiger the Great the Third, as they completely changed their styles and on-ring personas from when they fought as Keiji Tanaka and Yellow Devil, allowing them to go on unrecognized for three years. They recognized each other immediately when they fought (at which point The Third stopped pretending), but even that is Justified due them having been part of the same stable before changing gimmicks, and even then The Third managed to fool another member of their group for all that time.

He realizes that he has little chance of convincing his own people - "a prophet is not respected in his hometown" you know - so he heads off and convinces two or three other tribes to hand over their stones and lend their support to his mission. When he returns to convince his own people, he comes as a mysterious stranger, and his words - along with the other gems - convince his people to believe his story. Then a child reveals him to be just the blacksmith they've known since birth. The politicians rise up against him - why would Fate hand a cool destiny to this uneducated lout?

The Trapster was heartbroken when he found out the real identity of his new BFF Dusk. Which has an added bit of trope, Spider-Man was able to fight two of Wolverine's rogues, Roughouse the half-Troll and pseudo vampire Bloodscream, whilst changing outfits in between attacks, making them think they were fighting all four.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_bc848d30	comment	SpongeBob SquarePants did a similar subversion, where SpongeBob is trying to get into a tough guy bar. Shortly after someone tells him that only people with cool haircuts get in, somebody looking just like SpongeBob with a pompadour shows up, claiming that he's a drifter who just blew into town. After the bouncer Reg tries to pull off the drifter's pompadour, thinking that he's SpongeBob in disguise, the real SpongeBob shows up wearing a rainbow-colored clown wig. They repeated that gag again in the episode with Pearl's slumber party, this time with Girly Teengirl from Farawayville, who like the drifter before her, is mistaken for SpongeBob.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_ced3c7a1	comment	As mentioned, it has been used many, many times in wrestling: Dusty Rhodes became the Midnight Rider, Bruiser Brody became Red River Jack, both Brian Pillman and Barry Windham, at different points, became the Yellow Dog, and Hulk Hogan became Mr. America. A rare female version, Peggy Sue, was hired by the Honky Tonk Man as a deep-cover bodyguard. Usually it was just Sensational Sherri, disguised under a wig and poodle skirt, having lost her job following the deactivation of the women's title (twice revived 1993 and 1998). Her task was to masquerade as Honky's roadie while lobbing distractions at his opponent. Honky's agent, Jimmy Hart, also dressed up as "Peggy" on the occasions that he was banned from ringside. Subverted by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. When he was (kayfabe) fired he simply showed up, fought his way into the building, publicly humiliated Vince McMahon and eventually annoyed the Chairman until he got his job back. In a slight variation, Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett took turns playing the Blue Blazer, as heels, after Owen quit because he "injured" Dan "The Beast" Severn; their motivation for this was never revealed, due to Owen's untimely death. Strangely the Blazer also used several of Severn's moves, and the fact that he and Owen had faked his injuries implied that the Beast might have been under the mask sometimes. At one point during the angle, Owen Hart's former partner Koko B. Ware did a run-in to help "prove" Owen wasn't the Blue Blazer. For those who don't know, B. Ware is African American and the Blue Blazer garb does not conceal this. While working as Sweet Brown Sugar in Memphis, Koko had done his own version as Stagger Lee. When Edge and Christian lost a third WWE World Tag Team Title match in a row against the Hardy Boyz, they were denied any more title matches until the Hardys lost the tag team titles. So then Los Conquistadors (who were in fact an actual tag team in the late 80's played by longtime jobbers JosÃ© Estrada and JosÃ© Luis Rivera) challenged the Hardys using the same in-ring tactics as Edge and Christian. The Hardys complained that the Conquistadors were Edge and Christian in disguise, but the two had hired local jobbers (Christopher Daniels and Aaron Aguilera, dubbed "Rick" and "Sparky") so that the four could be seen at the same time. Once the Conquistadors won the titles, they allowed Edge and Christian to challenge for the titles. But, during the match it was revealed that these Conquistadors were the Hardys in disguise. This can be the only time in WWF/E history that a tag team has technically lost the titles to themselves. In 1986, after AndrÃ© the Giant was suspended for no-showing, a new Japanese tag team was introduced called The Machines made up of the masked Super Machine (who looked and sounded like the Masked Superstar) and the Giant Machine. The weird part about this is, since there were not that many giant Japanese wrestlers, the WWF promoted the Giant Machine as potentially being All Japan Pro Wrestling founder Shohei "Giant" Baba; ironically, Andre would have his final run teaming with Baba in AJPW. In fact, the angle The Machines were involved in was about Bobby Heenan trying to prove that Giant Machine was AndrÃ© the Giant. This team eventually included such mysterious members as Hulk Machine and Piper Machine, as well as Big Machine (Robert "Blackjack Mulligan" Windham), Animal Machine (George "The Animal" Steele, real name William James Myers) and Crusher Machine (Reggie "The Crusher" Lisowski).note Interestingly, Hulk and the Crusher had both been enemies of Bobby Heenan in the AWA and, in Da Crusher's case, back to the 1960's in Dick the Bruiser's World Wrestling Association in Indianapolis. Crusher was in fact the first one to call Heenan "The Weasel." At the same time, Heenan had managed the Blackjacks in Indianapolis, and the Masked Superstar (Bill "Super Machine"/"Demolition Ax" Eadie) (see below) in Georgia. Super Machine later went on to be Ax from Demolition, interestingly enough. Hogan/Mr. America. No-one aside from Hogan and his absolutely closest ally took it seriously. And it ended with not even Hogan taking it seriously; after a show went off the air, he lifted his mask and raised a finger to his mouth, telling the audience not to tell McMahon. The next week it was shown that despite the show being off the air, cameras were still rolling, and Hogan was fired. As mentioned above, this was a case of Real Life Writes the Plot; the original plan was for Hogan's Charlie Brown From Outta Town gimmick to continue for a while longer. People who attended other WWE SmackDown! tapings from that time have said this after-show unmasking routine for the benefit of the live audience, once the cameras and the heels were gone, was a regular occurrence. A more recent, heel example happened when Paul Burchill feuded with the Hurricane; Burchill was trying to prove that Hurricane was really Gregory Helms (which isn't this trope, Hurricane is a superhero gimmick with a secret identity), so they had a match with the stipulation that if Burchill won, Hurricane would unmask, if Hurricane won, Burchill would retire. Hurricane won, and a week later he was assaulted by a masked villain known as The Ripper (as in General Ripper, whom Burchil was a Fan Boy of in OVW, or maybe Jack because he's British). A week after that, The Ripper returned with a valet known as "The Beautiful Nightmare" (his "sister" Katie Lea in an even less convincing mask) but Hurricane won again, de-masking Burchill and sending him home. Sort of a lost opportunity, really; Burchill was an outstanding performer, and the angle was so ridiculous that it couldn't help but be funny. In a slightly different take on the trope, John Cena was "fired" from The Nexus (and, in the storyline, WWE) after a complex series of events. To fill in for Cena on his house-show dates, Cena's Mexican cousin Juan Cena was signed. However, the new superstar never appeared on WWE television (he was usually used in main events and house shows to "send the crowd home happy"), and his entrance music was suspiciously familiar to most WWE fans. Additionally, Cena mentioned on Twitter that he intended to purchase tickets for his replacement's first match. The Raw after he left WWE, the real John Cena showed up instead of Juan. Eventually, after Wade Barrett re-hired him, the character was completely scrapped aside from a one-off appearance with Lucha House Party.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_d7aab7c1	comment	A filler arc of Sailor Moon gives us the Moonlight Knight. He was very obviously the then-supposedly-depowered Tuxedo Mask, down to having the same modus operandi and rose motif. (And also looking similar, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything in this show.) In a possible subversion, he kinda was Tuxedo Mask and he kinda wasn't. When Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask was depowered, the part of his mind that was still driven to protect Usagi split off and gained a new body. At arc's end, Mamoru fused with Moonlight Knight and became Tuxedo Mask again.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town / int_ebc16974	comment	Street Fighter IV's third revision, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, features a new character by the name of Oni... who bears a large resemblance to recurring character Akuma. Many quickly assumed that Oni was merely a new Super Mode for Akuma, and while Capcom didn't say much on the subject, the Japanese bio for Oni would confirm that he is indeed Akuma, only as a literal demon instead of a metaphorical one. How he assumed such a form is currently unknown, with many suspecting that he trained to the point that the Satsui no Hadou overtook his body. This is seemingly supported by the non-canon crossover DLC in Asura's Wrath, which sees Akuma give into the Satsui no Hadou and transform into Oni when he's on the verge of defeat against Asura.

To date, Mick Foley is the only wrestler able to switch personas on-the-fly and people still believe that he is a genuinely different character.

The best example would probably be "Mongolman", who showed up to save Ramenman's friend Brocken Jr. from having his insides sucked out by Mr. Khamen not long after Ramenman had been put into a coma by Warsman. Neptune King's Mildman & Big the Budo gimmicks were not really a case of this, as he's using them from his first appearance in the show, but they are in the context of the story, as Neptune King's supposedly a famous wrestler from long ago. Then there's the Kinnikuman Great costume that various characters have used over the years when they weren't able to wrestle under their real names for various reasons. Kinnikuman himself disguised as Channelman in his trek across America after an incident left him too embarrassed to show his (actual) face. Robin Mask came back to bedevil Kinnikuman as Warsman's manager Barracuda in the next arc, too ashamed to use his true identity.
