This is how you build a foreign heel, granted Muta really had something special about him back then. Everything about his offense was so explosive and dangerous looking, you really believed in his character.
List of Japanese wrestlers who made an impact in the United States: Great Muta, Yokozuna (RIP), Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Tajiri, Mr. Fuji, Ultimo Dragon, Akio, Sakoda, Kenzo Suzuki, Sato, Tanaka, Bull Nakano, Hamada, Hiroshi Tanahashi.
At these tapings there were alot of smart fans. I was at several and talking with smart fans every single time. Charlotte's Bruce Buchanan was at many of the ones I was at. If oyu don't know he was back in the day to have watched more NWA/MACW than anybody in history at that time. Plus he knew more inside stuff than probably some of the wrestlers.
I still wanna find tha theme during those days loved it! Now wasnt Muta backstage or something in TNA a few years back I remember they had him and Christian and someone else do a promo
This was one of the first matches I saw Muta wrestle, and been hooked ever since. 20 years later, i've still not managed to track down that damn entrance music.
it's funny that in Cebuano, a native Filipino dialect, Muta is what the eye secretes right after waking up.

Muta pulls out the stunner at the 2:40 mark before Stone Cold was Stone Cold. The man was a true visionary.

@Gedooptics Yeah, not many used that reverse neckbreaker back then but it wasn't totally unheard of.

Put Muta as AJPW 3-CROWN CHAMP. And for the people who don't know, Mutoh is the current AJPW Tag-Team Champ with Masakatsu Funaki.
