The Original Shining Wizard

[Seanatonin]

Kawada took it like a man

[TheMysticWolfAura]

Really is the original Shining Wizard. The only one who does it almost as good is Yoshi Tatsu. But I love how Muta just hit's it out of anywhere.

[WrestlingFanCritic]

doesn't john morrison have some lame version of this now?

[TheNightOwl11683]

@WrestlingFanCritic Morrison doesn't step on the knee, therefore it's not a Shining Wizard

[BeMizFit]

Gregory Helms would be proud

[EvilTensions]

@BeMizFit And why? Keiji made the move. Helms just did an Enzugiri it was never the Shining Wizard.

[Juan143Carlos]

john morrison used a shining wizard on sitting opponent and the announcers call it a knee strike

[riotinthecity]

Why is it called the shining wizard? I really don't get it.

[hell0philip]

@riotinthecity It's called a Shining Wizard because when he had created it, the Great Muta persona (and mask) had been retired, NWO Japan and its successors had run their course, so he was at a career crossroads. So, he did what we all do when that happens. Namely, he shaved his head and became "The Cross Wizard Keiji Mutoh." And the name stuck.

[Raylene2K7]

@riotinthecity

sit down and let Keiji Mutoh give you one, as soon as you received it you'll know

[necrobear]

i will never understand why people are impressed by that move

[SoAndChobe]

its a knee in the head. its impressive

[jediharold12]

@necrobear its the best move

[ECWExtremeMoments]

Because the guy innovated it.

[Sterling20073]

@necrobear same here, its not that amazing...gregory helms did it better

[EvilTensions]

@Sterling20073 You mean that Enzugiri that he tried to call the Shining Wizard?

[5starwrestlingradio]

@EvilTensions he never tried to call it a shining wizard.Commentators called it that.Helms uses a shining enzugiri.Still impressive,but not the same

[ibaitxotxo]

best shining wizard estyle

[rizeorfall]

Kinda looks like poop... sorry... I love the guy as much as anyone, but this doesn't do justice to his ability

[HCErik]

often imatated, never duplicated. Muta's shining wizard is always number 1

[Gabagool]

@HCErik No it's not. He's one of the more inconsistent users of it, despite being the innovator.

[newjack1879]

one cetimetre more and Kawada would've been dead

[dud3cor3]

ouch, stiiiiiiiff

[Shiranui1979]

Was that the first time that Mutoh used the Shining Wizard?

[Joenage17]

No it was just the version he did when he first used the move.

[armbar21]

Whats awesome is how later on he added his own style to a move he fucking invented. I think that's genius.

[egg64]

No, that's ProWresLove. lol

[MarcothePhoenix]

@Shiranui1979 yeah he first used the move in europe, he said in an interview that while he was traveling in europe the wrestlers were getting up slow, and he got fed up and made the shining wizard

[goat666db]

nice, kawada got f'd in the a
