The Great Muta

The Great Muta made his name in Japan with NJWP, AJPW and W-1 but he spent a lot of time with WCW. Even going as far as winning their world championship at the time. Muta would fluctuate between Japan and the U.S. and would eventually see himself return to WCW in 2000, where he’d win the tag team titles.

After WCW closed, Muta would focus primarily on Japan, working for and leading NJPW and AJPW at different points, and even got a working relationship going with then-TNA. Soon after it was time to start his own brand.

Wrestle-1 was established in 2013 with Muta as the principal figure running the brand. He began a partnership with TNA at the time, and would watch as the two promotions traded title wins. Soon, however, Muta would resign from his post with W-1 . Since then, Muta has been touring the world, wrestling for the NWA, IMPACT Wrestling, ROH and NJPW.
