WCW/nWo Nitro, July 14th 1997: Masahiro Chono & The Great Muta vs. Public Enemy

[gnetikjakhammer]

Holy SHIT! I just noticed this....but The Brain screams "THE MAFIA KICK" when ironically he and dusty rhodes was making fun of him about 2-3 years prior to this when schiavone called a "mafia kick" move on commentary.

Let this be known! Nobdoy else has made this connection yet.

lol 6:13 MUTA: "WTF!"

[NallMasaki]

Man that sucks. R.I.P. Public Enemy.

I think it was a great idea to add Muta to the nWo, but they should have gave him better opponents..same for Chono..Hogan could have introduced Muta as his insurance policy against Sting

@TheMercenary I agree with that, specially since Chono and Muta are World Champions in WCW (when the golden belt was the NWA World title). But the idea comes from New Japan, when Chono tried to recruit both Muta and his alter ego, Keiji Mutoh. Eventually, Chono-san succeeded.

[TheDragonCult]

Muta being in NWO was such a waste. NWO hardly had any opponents. Imagine Muta against Scott Steiner or Scott Norton, or another match against Hogan - that's main event material.

@TheDragonCult the were put in nwo simpply to promote nwo in Japan.... they had their own nwo there.... the main difference being that they knew to keep it a small group
