Asian mist Asian mist refers to the illegal maneuver of spitting a colored liquid in the face of an opponent in wrestling . By doing so , the opponent will ( in kayfabe ) be blinded and experience intense stinging in the eyes . Asian mist originated in Japan where it is known as " dokugiri " , or " Poison Fog " although it is used by a select few wrestlers around the world . The first wrestler to use the Asian mist was The Great Kabuki , but the maneuver was handed down to his ( kayfabe ) son , The Great Muta . Killer Khan and Kendo Nagasaki introduced the mist to the U . S . in the late 80s . It was also associated with former WWE superstars Kwang and Yoshihiro Tajiri . Today , green mist is still utilized by the likes of MsChif , RelliK , Roxxi Laveaux , Hornswoggle . Asian mist can come in almost any color , but the most common one used is green . Red ( " burning mist " ) is said to burn more , and was used by Tajiri to defeat Rey Mysterio for the Cruiserweight Championship , while black ( " poison mist " ) blinds . Tajiri used this particular mist on Nidia , starting a storyline in which she was " blinded " ( in kayfabe ) for several weeks . Other colors used are blue , which sends the opponent to sleep , yellow , which paralyzes the opponent , and green , which obscures an opponent ' s vision and apparently causes great discomfort , as shown when Tajiri sprayed it in the eyes of Triple H . Wrestlers who use the mist often make a show of rubbing their throats with their thumb and forefinger before spitting , as if to extract the mist from some secret gland . In reality , the mist is water and food coloring or , alternatively , a powdered drink mix such as Kool - Aid , which is stored in a small bag or balloon . The bag is placed into the mouth shortly before spitting . Wrestlers will sometimes carry the bag in their mouth throughout the entire match , but this is discouraged , due to the possible choking hazard . Another concealment method is to keep a capsule that contains the mixture in the wrestlers trunks , and then put the capsule in their mouths when the camera is not focused on the wrestler about to perform the mist . A variant of the Asian mist was used by Gangrel , however , the mist was billed as blood ( later , " viscous liquid " ) to fit Gangrel ' s vampire gimmick and he carried it to the ring in a goblet . It should also be noted that Gangrel drank the liquid in the goblet prior to the match , meaning that he wasn ' t trying to conceal the mist . While Luna Vachon was acting as Gangrel ' s valet , she frequently used the mist as well . On the June 1 , 2007 edition of SmackDown ! , Hornswoggle spit green mist into the face of Little Boogeyman . These are the mist properties ( although they have been mentioned already but here is a brief reminder ) . Green - The commonly used mist which is said to obstruct the opponents vision . Red - Quite often used but is said to Burn the eyes . Used by Gangrel which was known as Blood Mist . Black - Said to blind the opponent for several weeks . Tajiri used this on Nidia Blue - Sends the opponent to sleep . Yellow - Paralyzes the opponent . Purple - Cause momentarily distraction and memory loss ( once used by Roxxi Laveaux ) . Video games . The Asian Mist makes appearances in every " WWE Smackdown ! vs . RAW game " . As a Special move , it was also featured as " Blood Mist " in " WWF WrestleMania 2000 " and " Poison Mist " in " WWF No Mercy " both for the Nintendo 64 . Its color was random , with the possibilities being green , black , red for " Blood Mist , " blue , purple and white for " Poison Mist . " In " WWE WrestleMania X8 " , and " WWE WrestleMania XIX " ( according to the move ' s animation ) , Tajiri , who ' s been assigned the move by default , always uses the move along with his main finisher ; he always spits the mist in his opponent ' s faces before using his trademark Buzzsaw Kick . The move would then be carried over to " WWE Day of Reckoning " without Tajiri making the roster , but he appears in its sequel mentioned below . In " WWE Day of Reckoning 2 " , the Asian Mist is not used with the Buzzsaw Kick finisher but is instead a Momentum Shift move that can only be used by having low Spirit Meter for some time causing it to enter the ' Danger ' state . As a farther note , it is also used in both " Day of Reckoning " games as a reversal for superstars when defending against mainly powerbomb - type moves if the star ' s the reversal style is set to ' Mysterious ' when editing their moveset . It can also be used in Some of the modern games like WWE 2K14 - 2K16 . The mist also appears in many games of the " Fire Pro Wrestling " series . The Green Mist was used in the SNK fighting game " Fatal Fury " by Raiden , a character that was modeled from Big Van Vader . The maneuver is referred to as " Poison Fog . " Yoshimitsu from " Tekken " / " Soul Calibur " uses green / purple mist . furthermore , Armor King in Tekken 5 : Dark Resurrection is capable of spraying both Asian and burning mist .
