NJPW - 1995-02-08 - Great Muta vs. El Gigante

[cartoonkid1988]

Did Muta just spew Asian Mist to his rival's nuts?

[Selya92]

Keiji Mutoh super!!! I love Mutoh!!!

[RechteHandDerHoelle]

he had good proportions for a 7'7'' guy

[RechteHandDerHoelle]

7'7'' full of power

[DemonREC1995]

r.i.p man

[jbc429]

he died, and no media coverage or anything? not even a mention on WWE website...? wtf

[SolidMike84]

@jbc429

That sort of thing happens alot with the WWE sadly

The guys who are no longer working for them ceases to exist it would seem, but if it was someone who was HUGE in WWE who died working for another compay that would of course be different story, then you'd see dvds and tribute dvds flying

Sad

[phREaker419]

R.I.P. El Gigante.

[darklord1980]

RIP Jorge, you're in a much better place now

[TheSuperMarioBros2]

its the hulk!!!!

[superfranthemanfjan]

nice mullet

[Kplehn]

rip gonzales

[Inediblehulk]

Best misting ever! Ruined his shorts AND blinded him, like some sort of foxy ladymist!

[kguas2]

time to celebrate his life...not his shortcommings on the ring or the basketball court...rest in peace bro'...

[14DaveHunter]

I had the honor of meeting Jorge, during my senior year of high school. This was years before I became involved in pro-wrestling. His picture is even in my school's yearbook (spanish club). In his later years, he became more devoted to his Roman Catholic faith. RIP Jorge, forever safe in the arms of Jesus Christ.

[TerryKozak2010]

Christ, only 44 years old, living in continual pain, confined to a wheelchair, dialysis. There's a hell of a lot more to life than whether or not this guy was a great wrestler. RIP.

[MetalAugusto]

GIANT DIED TODAY 25/09/2010 

[ChromeGhost0219]

@MetalAugusto HE DID?!

[MetalAugusto]

@ChromeGhost0219 yes he died. google "gigante gonzalez" in the argentinian version of google for more information. he had a tumor in his pituitary gland and he also had diabetes.

[ChromeGhost0219]

@MetalAugusto aw man :(

[LTcowboys21]

RIP..... Gonzalez died 9-22-10. This was his last match.

[choice2099]

@LTcowboys21 His last match after that awful stint in the WWF?

[ModaNaNK]

el gigante looks like giant gonzalez 

[ramonzebub]

@ModaNaNK he is the giant gonzalez

[ModaNaNK]

@ramonzebub

yes yes,

[ShaolinDynasty]

Move aside Big Show and Great Khali...

[SadoKaden]

@ShaolinDynasty He was awhile before them. Much bigger, too.

[ShaolinDynasty]

@SadoKaden Yeah, I remember him from WCW and WWE...had he still wrestled nowdays, he would dwarf big show and great khali...

[SadoKaden]

@ShaolinDynasty Yeah. I hear he gets by with a wheel chair these days.

[YoungCandy2nd]

He was the best "real" giant as far as being able to move and his agility. I hope he made alot of money and I hope he still has alot... I just wonder why all these big guys used to go to other wrestling companies after leaving wwf or wcw at the end of there careers. was the money jus that good or what?

[YoungCandy2nd]

I wish he would have worked on building his legs in 1988 and played for the Atlanta Hawks !!!

[DarthRevan1051]

did this guy ever get passed the 8 foot mark or just stay the same (8ft)

[Warriospwn]

i dont know that they said but im guessing they said Muta 1 2 3

[SquidSpankerz]

La Gigante = no huevos.

[LeoCat2004]

El Gigante looks like Billy Ray Cyrus with that mullet! lol!

[MrLikeSkateboarding]

El Gigante is insane!

[paulogomescoelho]

Near to Khali, Gigante is a almost a showstopper, lol

[CZWTNAANDINDYZ]

I tell you Muta's so nice such a great guy he really cares about his opponent and he's one of the best wrestlers ever.

[technobob93]

El Gigante's Last Match

[thebanham]

ive not seen kahli wrestle fluff,so cant comment atm,but ill check it out

[trentacid008]

one big mofo

[thebanham]

the worst selling ever seen came from el gigante/gonzalez,but respect for having a go at wrestling

[thefluffinmuffin]

Noooooooo The "Great" Kahli SUCKS at selling At least You can tell that gonzalez is trying lol

[Phoenix7786]

I've always respected Mutoh for caring about his opponent's well-being even if he has to goof up.

I wonder how many people would have tried the move at a bad position and risked injury to themselves or their opponent

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Hail Great Muta.

[LOKITUPISBACK]

gigante's last match. he is poor and confined to a wheelchair now

[louisEX2]

yes gigante aka giant gonzales is to a wheel chair but hes not really poor. almost a millionare he is. he also gets paid from disability. hes 43 and alive today in a school in argentina

[bloobloo78]

what are you? retarded? this is from the start of his career

[LOKITUPISBACK]

this is 1995. gigante started wrestling in 1989 and retired in 1995. you are the retard. prove me wrong. hook me up with some gigante matches from the late nineties

[SadoKaden]

@LOKITUPISBACK Yeah, I believe this time period was pretty close to when he officially retired, after a brief run with WWF, then heading to Japan.

[gamerkid199998]

@LOKITUPISBACK dumbass, it sais february 8 1995, he put the year, then the month, then the day. slowass retard

[LOKITUPISBACK]

@gamerkid199998 who are you talking to? because if you're talking to me, i said this was 1995. i don't understand what your coming after me for, but whatever... Besides, if you want to call me a "dumbass... slowass retard" then at least figure out how to spell "says". Retard....

[Mase379]

@ Bloobloo78 After this match, El Gigante announced he was retiring from professional wrestling due to ill heath. This match took place at the end of his 5-6yr career

[bloobloo78]

yeah i know... i looked it up after that guy said so and didnt reply because i felt stupid 8(

[ECFNW100]

Funny ass match, Muta was even able to carry someone as big and slow as El Gigante into something worth watching. Muta truly is awesome.

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

This must be before Mutoh grew a full beard in this period, where he was getting ready to face Shinya Hashimoto for the IWGP title on 5/3/95.

[andykillerstacy]

El Gigante was Giant Gonzalez from the wwf. this was his last match. His last match was on February 8, 1995, against The Great Muta in New Japan Pro Wrestling. He then had to retire due to health issues.

poeple he dos not suck he would have been the best big man

[789trebor]

The better wrestler won...

[rabapab23]

El Gigante sucks!

[CapTashman]

Considering the guy was in pain standing up I think he did a pretty good job

[DarthRevan1051]

@CapTashman yeh he's now in a wheelchair full time and has a diaysis machine for kidney failure, so yeh he did pretty well

[jerryreiner]

@CapTashman : I have to agree. I always thought he was terrible, but after learning he is confined to a wheelchair now and has to be hooked up to a dialysis machine I feel bad for him. Being a wrestler myself I feel for him because whether he was good or not he was still one of us. I still think they could have drawn money with him if they put a mask on him and never let anyone get to him for awhile.

[emaldinho]

thats is one "Giant" Mullet lol

[perpreben]

THAts af BIG BICTH!

[28Sago]

Green mist :D

[brannengarrett]

green mist makes you happy, doesn't it?

[grayhwk3464]

You can find the green, red, and blue mist in your local grocery store. :D

[afterthesirens]

Muta was the man in old NWA where Gary M Capetta billed him from "The Land of the Rising Sun" and he used the green/red mist!

[jongboon]

i can see that the japanese referee is treating el gigante unfair. You can see the referee allows muta to use the steel chair againts gigante and when it comes to his turn to use the chair the referee stops him. isnt that true?

[centercounter]

Wrestling fixed? Oh no!

It is a common theme. For example, in tag matches, the heels doubleteam at will but when the face rushes across the ring to help, the referee blocks him.

[likpit]

ahahaha so fake in the real world giant gonzales would have smashed hislittle wiwi and bit off his ear

[litehouse6]

Gigante can barely walk. Even before his knees were shot, he still sucked in the ring.

[RamanujAcaria]

chino marika hijodeputa

[RamanujAcaria]

el enano gonzales es un autentico cholo, basta verle la cara de cholo boludo...

[centercounter]

Nice comedy match. I liked when Muta first aimed the mist at the Giant's groin, and then the second time, stood on the chair. A nice lite interlude from so many of Muta's brutal and bloody matches on here.

[951951951951]

rubbish muta...

[andy7666]

El Gigante should thrash around with his arms more - even if his knees are fu*ked it would look better.. Thanks for the upload!

[TBomb068]

This match was freakin' funny. LOL! El Gigante couldn't sell a great match because his knees were already about gone. I wonder how Muta didn't break up in laughter?

[krebyoba2]

1:45... the most beautiful Rolling Sobat EVER.

[laholahomaule]

funi when he dida gren mist

[Rocanlouder]

q pendejada vean "AAA , Mistico , lucha libre mexicana"

[ghostrider137]

Worst giant, for sure. Best mullet? For sure.

[andy7666]

And the biggest!

[gc713]

worst. giant. ever.

[VolumedMusicMan]

Great to see Muta have redemption with the Kabuki mist when he missed on the 1st try.

[thelordofdarknessfan]

how can muta beat gonzalez thats not right

[trombone316]

cause gonzalez sucked that's why, whereas muta is one of the greatest ever

[mildredsmittens]

that must be the biggest mullet in history of wrestling

[chschmed]

did the great muta ever had a bad match?!

[kc727]

No.

[ghostrider137]

Mutah is amazing.

[mattg995]

This is a pretty sad match to watch. El Gigante looks like he's in pain the whole match--like his joints are killing him. I don't think the man's even 40 yet and he's confined to a wheelchair.

[FULANODETAL]

yes thata chair was near to break his spine, 2 weeks after that combat el gigante collapsed during a 3 handicap match..

[GypsyRed]

Ahahahaha! I'm really starting to love Muta. That was funny. XD

[Toddbo]

El Gigante Mullet.

[dominicdoom]

Mutas music here is killer

[necropolic666]

that big goof sucked Muta was awesome

[ConE500]

Is this after Gonzales left the WWE?

[dcxbox]

no this is before he was in the wwe, when he was in wcw

[ConE500]

Well it says 1995 he left the WWE in 1993 and he still has his mullet.

[dcxbox]

lol ya i forgot lol, well nyways he doesnt wrestle anymore i think he uses a cane to walk now.

[ConE500]

I think he uses a wheel-chair to get round these days. Poor bastard.

[Lyrtsch]

beautiful match. beautiful because it's THAT freaking awful. hilariously awful. and Muta kicks so much ass because of his sense of humor.

Also now, I finally know where EXACTLY Capcom got the idea for Titanic Tim, using the blue shorts and red kneepads. Hell, they even kept his mullet!

[Reg197844]

El Gigante had to be the worst perfomer to ever get in the ring. I remeber his fued with Sid during early 90's in WCW. Worst matches in the history of pro wrestling. Feel bad for Muta here; not even he was able to carry this guy.

[FULANODETAL]

sincerely i saw worst wrestlers than el gigante...

[marios93]

what is that green thing?

[Jose1382]

Wrestling with great comedy, brings back memories.

Oh,

El Gigante > Great Khali

[thumbslikeonions]

El Gigante/Giant Gonzalez now lives in a retirement home in Argentina and is confined to a wheelchair, in case you were wondering.

[ilovewomen876]

is that TAJIRI?

[Suriel1981]

Yeah, that's right - Tajiri vs Great Khali in the days before Vince McMahon became a multi-trillionaire and bought every single wrestling company in the world *lmao*

[thumbslikeonions]

Tajiri stole and exported the 'green mist' from the Great Muta, amongst others.

[AssaultDriver]

No you idiot.

[NESHero]

no, but Taiji did adobt the mist from him, there have been a cpl of jap wrestlers that used the mist.

Great Kabuki i think was the 1st, correct me if im wrong.

[blansh316]

El Gigante SELL! SELL!

[kyotanahashi]

the ending was funny...haha..stands on chair *mist*...moonsault setup: "what the fuck"...goes to the other corner..fin!

[runebeo]

El Gigante looked like he was almost ready for a wheelchair back then. I see why WF put him in a suit.

[spartan211]

yeah gigante screwed up this match big time

[NESHero]

was the the incredable hulk then?

[FULANODETAL]

compared with great khali,gonzalez is still faster ..

[FULANODETAL]

this combat has story,in this combat jorge gonzalez was near to get paralized,by the chair..

[donholla]

he looked like a giant size version of green giant being billy ray cyrus

[CrystalTears234]

lol nice

[Arrowdodger]

If he had jobbed to Gigante, I'd riot.

[spartan211]

me 2

[litehouse6]

At least Muta has a sense of humor. Bums like Hogan do better in japan because they're not allowed to be lazy and still work. In WCW, Hogan was booking and had a contract that pretty much guaranteed he could do nothing in the ring and collect $1,000,000+.

[mixmariobros]

I love NJPW... because wrestlers like gonzalez or hogan became great workers here, when in wwe they can´t do more than 2 moves

[BMLM]

Jeez I thought Muta would look undersized...Check out the ref lol

[jlobough]

Muta made it a passable match against Gigante (or El Gigantos as Larry Zbyszko used to call him).

[art098993]

Born January 30, 1966

Formosa, Argentina

[ericsahadeo]

no way in hell he's 460lbs! He's so skinny!!!

He's gotta be in the high three hundreds or so

[FULANODETAL]

reply he retired in 1995.

[art098993]

Jorge Gonzales (Giant Gonzalez, El Gigante), 40, is confined to a wheelchair these days. He told an Argentinean newspaper that he was doing what he could to survive, but things were rough. Gonzales is hoping to get some sort of aid from the Argentinean government. Gonzales has faced numerous health problems in the past few years.

[TXBamanut]

If Billy Ray Cyrus and Lurch had children...

[silascode]

Gonzalez was only great in a Baywatch episode. Of course that's because in TV shows they can do as many takes as they need to get things right.

[geneva1999]

Ha, I remmember that episode! He was a circus freak and then fell into the water or something like that. I love Baywatch. I also liked the espisode when Hogan, Macho Man, Vader, and Flair wrestled eachother.

[silascode]

I remember when Giant Gonzales wore the same outfit he wore in WWF. Also, when Flair and Macho Man were fighting in the ring, it was funny how they put in those cheesy punching sound effects.

[JoeMomma2002]

Gonzalez although he sucks...DAMN He's Tall!!!

[mrxskull]

gonzales is fucking massive

[elvylanda]

nice mullet on el gigante

[jaz1966]

Oh come on, give him credit. He did contribute the world's biggest mullet to wrestling.

[bill1985]

That was an OK match, was that a no holds barred match? Cause if it wasn't then the match should have been stopped earlier.

[bono1083]

ElGigante couldnt make it in the basketball world so he was brought into wrestling...and managed to blow every single match he was in. Muta was probably like "are you fucking kidding me" when he heard he was booked against this 8 ft doofus

[xxblackwaterparkxx]

hahaha its funny when muta tries to do the leg whip thing and el gigante just fucking falls over...ha hahah.

[mysteriowc]

Awesome upload man!! Keep them coming Wrestling rules!!

[kevinthunder]

[GreatMuta]

[Kajagoogoo]

Love all giant gonzalez fights - Never saw him without his disguise .

[DynamicJ]

[criceto]

[ainster]

[tom5054]
