i would like to see a wwe "sports entertainment superstar" try to hang with this man in a 1hr iron man match. i've always felt that american promoters were afraid of mutoh/muta. as either character he can destroy 95% of any major promotion's roster

[kyotanahashi]

@bladestormviking Big Daddy Voodoo, Charlie Haas, Rene Dupree are ex-WWE guys that are currently in All Japan's scene and they tangled with Muto and got positive feedback. Giant Bernard is in New Japan being a tag champion and the proverbial regular monster foreigner

[Gr8muta]

Eat, Pray, Love, Muto !! Keiji has been in my top 3 since 1988. I have watched him since his 1st WCW run and nobody has ever lived up to him in the ring, He is a master at ring psychology.... Every move he does has a purpose..not one wasted move. Why WWE never acknowledges hi is beyond me...but then again, he would make any of them look like poo!

[kyotanahashi]

@Gr8muta actually, the WWE wanted to get him but Muto is afraid of what they'll do to the Great Muta character so Muto backed out

[RadicalDickhead]

fuck at 4:00?

The Great Muta... My idol... The Perfect Wrestler. You don't need 30 minutes with a mic to be one of the most charismatic wrestlers of all times, Keiji Muto is the living, breathing proof.

[SirPromenade]

I want this version of "Hold Out"

[TAKE0403KAMI]

武藤は膝が悪いが負けた試合も勝った試合も余裕なんだよね

タナに負けた試合も普通に返せたね

[yuimaru1026]

4:57のとこ、タナさりげなくLOVEポーズしてない？(笑)­

[LINER055]

棚橋が勝った時、物凄く鳥肌たった！

そして時代は武藤から棚橋の時代へと流れていく。

[culturebully3]

@bladestormviking im sure there are plenty of them who could. just become they work for the biggest stage in the world, doesn't make them any less the athlete than someone like muto. lots of great wrestlers have passed through the wwe and lots are still there. if muto went to the wwe tomorrow, would you think less of him? if so, thats too bad!

[StunningSteve666]

watch the referee fly lol

INCREIBLE VIDEO SALUDOS DESDE PANAMA

[TheWesternLariat]

2:46 Look cameraman face XD

[Reaf3289]

How fitting is it that Mutoh's protege beat him finally..

[HushOnHellsHorizon]

When I'm in need of help...I don't pray to Jesus....Muhammad....Or Buda......I Pray To Muta.....
