An Arabic dub of this 1981 anime aired on Arabic Networks around the Arab World back in the early 90's and became a huge hit. I was surprised to find out that this a sequel to another Tiger Mask aired in 1969 I have yet to see and I was even more surprised to find out that about 4 or 5 wrestlers in Japan used the Tiger Mask gimmick and became famous in the Wrestling world. The plot is of a criminal organizational trying to the take over the sports world using wrestlers as well as other athletes and the only one stands in their way is Tiger Mask a Japanese wrestler who sports a tiger like mask. Helping him in his quest are anime forms of real life wrestlers like Antonio Inoki, Stan Hansen, Abdulla The Butcher and even the late Andre The Giant. The plot may may seem cheesy but it's really an action packed anime with some great character development and wonderful drama with some lovely music background. It's worth a watch.
