First time I've seen this match and it really has some great stuff.
Muta's character is wonderful, and I've always liked Tajiri ever since I saw him in WWF the few times I watched that as a kid. Character and story wise he was used horrifically badly but even as a kid I could tell he was great at what he did and his style was so different from most of the other wrestlers there that it really stuck with me.
@Phoenix7786 Have you explored Muta's backlog since seeing this match? He's got a great history. This match really wasn't his best wrestling work, as it was more comedy than anything else, but his matches with Tajiri were still very fun to watch. Thanks for the upload.
@aknfjoshmiller Oh yeah I've seen that stuff. I think I saw this back in like '06
And about the backlog I've seen some freaking great Muta matches. I just didn't bother to upload them because they're already up here from other people and I don't want to look like a poacher.
@aknfjoshmiller just your update in the part below the video, makes me appreciate who you are and what you do....Thats great man...you threw away possible money, just so you could give us a pain-free show :D
wow WWE's referee 1's taken a blow he will nvr come back into the ring or will be unconscious but in japan the referee will nvr go unconscious until he got hit by an object real hard so this is how i say WWE's full of story n the fight got planned b4 it started but the pain is real
Fun match. Loved the shenanigans under the ring and the use of the mist by both. I don't watch too much Japanese wrestling, but I love me some Great Muta and Tajiri. Both guys are great, Tajiri is pretty much a complete package, and Muta is just all kinds of badass, such a cool character/look and solid in the ring, too. Good stuff, thanks for posting it.
Yes it was; that's one of Muta's set-in-stone move sequences, much like John Cena's FU is often unneccesarily followed up with the STFU or Angle would bust out the Angle slam only to go for the Ankle lock.
Thanks for updating this video. As for what you wrote "Puro"(Pro), Japanese often abbriviate the word "Professioal" as "Pro" as in All Japan Pro(fessional) Wrestling. I was wondering how you got this video while you reside in States. Is there any chances you get to see Japanese wrestling in America?
I think the only thing we can snag out here is NOAH but you need some special satellite channel.
But I got this match after playing through Tekken DR and learning that Armour King was based on Great Muta a little. After seeing the original uploader's video get lost I started looking for a download of it.
I stumbled onto a message board that had a direct download and then I shared the video with Youtube again.
Yeah; Tajiri has always had great kicks. If I recall, he (like a decent chunk of kickers) wears a special kind of padded shoe to help absorb blows so he can deliver some stiff looking kicks..
I've always wondered myself how Tajiri can deliver those buzzsaw kicks without taking off the other guys head. The sound of impact alone makes me cringe. He really is an incredible worker who hasn't been used properly in the states since the real ECW.
if you're seriously asking, its the japanese style of wrestling..a non-work. where the moves are done full blown, no punches pulled but the outcomes are still predetermined.
That is called Mist. Basically, it's something that "Mysterious" wrestlers are understood to use, similiar in concept to American audiences believing in Undertaker and Kane's ability to get right up from attacks.
Typically, green and red are used. The wrestler spits it at an opponent, which typically stuns or otherwise distracts them.
The wrestlers carry it in their trunks, mouth, or ring anf put it in sometime discreet. They usually make some kind of gesture or motion before spitting it.
Yep he used it for one match (i think) and it was against Muta. He called himself the Great Koji, carried a painted skull to the ring and painted his face with orange and white
you know, the MUTA character is somewhat of an insane, crazy psychopath who is kinda detached from our reality and lives in his own world. Hence the licking of people, belts, ring ropes, etc.
never knew this match happened, thanks for posting. didnt disappoint at all, and even with muta changing his style because of his knees, he still stays true to the important aspects of old style for the most part. love the excess of mist spots. NEVER gets old
scratch that wat i meant to say that smackdown games have old hogan and new hogan there should be a game with old mutoh and muta and new mutoh and muta
Well you can download Fire Pro Wrestling X Premium for a super nintendo emulator and find a patch to translate it. They have classic Muta and the create a character is not bad at all. It wouldn't take long to create a fairly decent current Muta.
has there ever been a game where u could use old muta u know like the smackdown vs raw games have new muta and mutoh but as legends have old muta and old mutoh
so the guy recognized a majority of the things in his moveset that were really messing with his knees... kudos to him for finally caring about his quality of life OUTSIDE the wrestling ring, even if it's a decade late...
Yeah it's unfortunate to see how much age has sapped out of him. No more springboard elbow, no more Muta Lock, no more fliiping over the top rope as his entrance. He still has without a doubt one of the coolest growls I think.
The same thing happened with Kobashi, the knees were giving out so he had to change his stle, still a nice match, gotta love the Muta antics, Tajiri was good too.
HOLY SHIT! Is Tajiri playing a face!?
