武藤敬司: Shining Wizard!!

video of Keiji Mutoh and the Great Muta

legendary figure in Japanese pro wrestling...one of the New Japan's Three Musketeers with Masahiro Chono and Shinya Hashimoto...former IWGP, NWA, and Triple Crown Champion...former member of nWo japan and the original wCw version (for the time he was in the US)...current president of All Japan...

amazing how muto and his alter-ego have evolved over the years...even Great Muta is seen as a special attraction nowadays


bald muto w/ original great muta actually got me completely in to japanese wrestling...while jushin liger, hayabusa, and ultimo dragon were stepping stones towards that...

themes used: trans magic and great muta concerto (i didnt use the glass break version of trans magic he has now because 1. i think it takes the song away and 2. it sound too stone cold steve austin-ish)

At 2:12, was that a DDT into an Arm-bar??? Awesome!

[Slateboard]

Is the difference between Muta/Mutoh a case of heel/face alignment or is there something else?

武藤敬司 looks very cute after he ages.

@Ichaerus the Warlock is Arik Cannon's variation of the move. his is more of a step up enzuiguri though.

[Ksharp1fan]
