Masahiro "Masa" Chono (born September 17, 1963) is a Japanese Professional Wrestler and promoter best known for his work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. He debuted in 1984 for New Japan and also competed in various North American territories, including the Continental Wrestling Association in Memphis, and other countries like Germany and Australia. After his return to Japan, now turned into a fast-working apprentice of Lou Thesz, he became a mainstay of NJPW's G1 Climax tournaments and won three of them, balancing them with the IWGP Tag Team Championship with Keiji Mutoh and the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Everything changed after losing both of his championships and scoring an underwhelming win in another G1: he did a Face–Heel Turn, adopted a Yakuza gimmick and became the great villain of the promotion, getting to form part of the Japanese version of World Championship Wrestling's nWo. He eventually got tired of the stable's heroic ways under Keiji Mutoh's influence, so he left and formed his own stable, the massive TEAM 2000. After defeating and absorbing NWO Japan, TEAM 2000 began to feud with smaller factions that teamed up against the tiranny, but nothing really challenged it until the arrival of Antonio Inoki's Mixed Martial Arts corps. It seemed Chono had returned to the babyface side in order to fight off Inoki's invasion, but he demonstrated his villainess again by forming yet another massive baddy stable, Black New Japan, out of the remnants of all the factions in conflict. It was eventually disbanded by authority figure Riki Choshu after some clashes with Kazuyuki Fujita's Team JAPAN and Jushin Thunder Liger's CTU, and Chono was left to feud with his long time frenemy Hiroyoshi Tenzan. By 2010, the great times of Masahiro Chono had waned from NJPW, but its legend would live forever. He works as a freelancer now. | |

Game-Breaking Injury | |
| Masahiro Chono (Wrestling) / int_6381b11 | comment |
Game-Breaking Injury: A grievous neck injury received against Steve Austin in midst of his push in 1992 forced him to tone down his wrestling style, becoming more of a scheming villain and a tag team specialist. | |

Big Bad: Was the main bad guy of the promotion in the Team 2000, and only lost the role with the emergence of Inoki's MMA invasion, in which the role was somewhat taken by Tadao Yasuda. Even afterwards, Chono still created another heel faction in Black New Japan to try to take it back. | |

Combination Attack: His Ningengyora or Cho-Ten Torpedo, which he created with Hiroyoshi Tenzan to take down superheavyweights like Akebono or Giant Bernard. It was basically a double diving shoulder block. They also added a brainbuster to the technique when Bernard joined them. He had a move with Giant Silva in which the latter held an opponent up in a chokeslam for Chono to down him with a diving lariat or shoulder block. | |
