I love that she inadvertently fixed the sexist damsel in distress character just by pointing out that she could have agency (and giving her a role model).

I assume Serval Cat Mask was inspired by Kinnikuman as that's the only pro-wrestling anime I know of and the moves looked pretty similar.

It's probably Tiger Mask. I've never read or watched that, but it has been referenced a lot in other works too and the appearance / naming seems to fit.

Ah I was hoping someone would have a better idea, thanks!

It's definitely Tiger Mask

Here's a compilation of fight highlights from the original 1960s show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfFOPXYd1K0

Here's a fight from a later version, Tiger Mask W, from 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfzU_2B9iss

Credible moves that are mostly banned because they're dangerous to the wrestlers.
