The Great Muta is the gimmick most fans in the United States know Muto for, as he wrestled as The Great Muta throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s for the NWA, and in his later stints in World Championship Wrestling.

For the first time, it was nWo Great Muta that wrestled in the G1 Climax that summer, but he lost in the Quarter Finals. On September 23rd, 1997, Mutoh joined the nWo as well, and a month later he would team with Chono to win the IWGP Heavyweight …
