Masato Tanaka (born February 28, 1973) is a Japanese Professional Wrestler trained by Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Goto. Tanaka is best known for his work in FMW and, by extension, on-and-off in the U.S. in ECW from 1998-2000. He debuted in 1993 and quickly adapted to the promotion's hardcore style, getting Covered with Scars as a result. He made his U.S. debut with ECW in 1998 and quickly became very popular, as ECW brought his long-running feud with Mike Awesome (known in FMW as the Gladiator) to American audiences and great acclaim. He made his PPV debut with a win over Doug Furnas at ECW Living Dangerously 98. Following the demises of FMW and ECW, Tanaka would compete for New Japan Pro-Wrestling, the National Wrestling Alliance (particularly Pro Wrestling ZERO1), All Japan Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling NOAH, Dragon Gate, Fighting Opera HUSTLE, MLW, Ring of Honor, Jersey All Pro Wrestling and many other promotions in Japan and the U.S. and even had one last battle with Awesome at WWE's ECW One Night Stand PPV on June 12, 2005. Among his in-ring achievements, he is a former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, a former 2x ECW World Tag Team Champion, holding the belts 1x w/Balls Mahoney and 1x w/Tommy Dreamer, a 2x Pro Wrestling ZERO-ONE World Heavyweight Champion, a former FMW World Brass Knuckles Champion, the second-ever IWGP Intercontinental Champion, and the inaugural NEVER Openweight Champion. | |

Finishing Move | |
| Masato Tanaka (Wrestling) / int_a43a691b | comment |
Finishing Move: Rolling/Roaring Elbow note rolling elbow is correct; 'roaring elbow' came from Paul Heyman mishearing the move's name due to the R and L problems in the Japanese language, then keeping it because Roaring Elbow sounded cool, Tornado DDT, Diamond Dust (Top-rope rolling Stunner), Sliding D. | |

No-Sell: Or rather, delayed sell. He rolled right back up after a release German suplex from Kodo Fuyuki during their Judgment day match and floored him with an elbow...and then hit the floor himself. | |

How Much More Can He Take? | |
| Masato Tanaka (Wrestling) / int_b9abf327 | comment |
How Much More Can He Take?: Especially against Mike Awesome, as they would constantly have to raise the bar for the finishes. At MLW Revolutions, May 9, 2003, Awesome beat Tanaka by countout after hitting an Awesome Bomb through a table on the floor. In their match at ECW One Night Stand, Awesome put Tanaka through a table on the floor and splashed and pinned him on the floor. | |

Loser Leaves Town One sided example. Once Kodo Fuyuki became the FMW commissioner, he promised to fire Tanaka as soon as he lost a match in any way shape or form. At FMW's 10th Anniversary show called Judgment Day, which was held on November 11th, 1999 as their November PPV, FMW WEW Singles Champion Masato Tanaka d. Kodo Fuyuki in a "Loser Leaves FMW Electrical Thunderbolt Cage Death Match." | |
