I like Arn Anderson. To me, Anderson is the true "Dirtiest Player In The Game," but NWA/WCW should have put Muta over Anderson.  Actually, I think WCW would have made serious money if they made Muta the World Champ. With J-PEX in Muta's corner, Muta would have created major heat and more people would've tuned into TBS and bought PPV's to see someone finally defeat Muta. Instead, The Great Muta's talents were wasted. WCW didn't have sense enough to put him over anyone with a name.

What? Ron Simmons became World Champion just 2 years later during the "Good Ol Boy" era, and Steve Austin held the TV title from June '91 to September '92

Thanks for posting.... This was a fun ride... the Four Horsemen's 1st run in WCW

In stead, poor dude IS the jobber. After all that time invested in him and for what? So he can be future endeavored eventually? Bigger stars can still beat him on PPVs and Main Events/House Shows. Build up little feuds with him here and there and he'll progressively get better. The old days weren't magical, things were just done the right way. Now, it's a bunch of soulless corporate bullshit. I didn't order the PPV, I watched NWA on youtube. How sad is that?

They need to bring back jobbers. I'm telling you, that's all they need to do for a vast improvement. Have one star vs. star match in the Main Event like the old days on TV. And cut back on PPVs. The reason why the artform is dying and cynicism is at an all time high is because it's become too much about marketing and too little about building characters and storylines. You can make even Ted Dibiase Jr. look like a million bucks if you put him over jobbers week after week.

I was a kid at the time, booed the heels and cheered the faces...but I loved Muta. He was just too awesome looking and the moonsault was new to me.

His best work was in New Japan in the mid-nineties imo.

See, back in the day there was so much potential it was easy to miss such opportunities. And still, it's just classic after classic.

How could anyone watch the shit they have on now? JR and Cornette on commentary for a Muta/Anderson match...gold.

@beefmong Actually, there was a month break between Steve Austin's TV title reigns, as Barry Windham defeated Austin on April 27, 1992 (match aired on Saturday Night on May 9), but Austin regained the title from Windham on May 23, 1992 (the match aired on Worldwide on June 13).
