The Supernatural Powers of Keiji Mutoh
https://www.fanbyte.com/wrestling/the-supernatural-powers-of-keiji-mutoh/#:~:text=The Great Muta was created,any of the players' comprehension.
However, it is not simply as a stoic puro striker that Mutoh is known. International fans (particularly in America) know him largely through his decades of work as his memorably bizarre, occasional demonic alter-ego, The Great Muta. The Great Muta was created in 1980s NWA when, in attempting to recreate the success of Mutoh’s (kayfabe) mentor the Great Kabuki, wrestling’s marble-mouthed, problematic grandpa Jim Ross mispronounced “Mutoh,” thus invoking Dark Magics beyond any of the players’ comprehension.
The Great Muta would elevate a tasteless “exotic foreigner” gimmick to such a degree that it made him a singular, title-holding mainstay on American television for years. Following that run, Mutoh would take the gimmick back home with him to Japan, where Muta would serve as an outlet for the performer’s most frightening, most violent, and most downright bizarre creative impulses over the course of an epic career that, in spite of multiple knee replacements and over three decades getting the **** kicked out of him in some of pro wrestling’s stiffest promotions, continues to this day.
Be it gratuitous bloodbath wrestling, bizarre pseudo-fetish pregnancy subplots, supernatural in-ring happenings, or just particularly wacky displays of costume work, an appearance by The Great Muta is a portent that you’re about to see some awesome, crazy ****. In an online discourse that is too often centered around who does the MOST or the BEST moves, let’s take a moment during this Spooky Season to reflect on the powers that manifest when a guy who CAN do all of that decides to let his inner goth art-kid shine through. These are the greatest supernatural powers of THE GREAT MUTA.
