Considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, Keiji Muto will wrestle as The Great Muta for the final time on January 22, 2023 at the “Great Muta Final Bye Bye” show, where he will team with AEW’s Sting and Darby Allin.
The 60-year-old Muta will hang up his boots at a Pro Wrestling NOAH show at the Tokyo Dome on February 21.
While speaking to Tru Heel Heart Wrestling, Impact Wrestling star Eddie Edwards discussed the importance of Muta’s final run. He said,
“It’s historic. You look at Muta’s career, how long it’s spanned, everything that he accomplished, everything that he did from his time at WCW, to New Japan, to All Japan, to NOAH. I have nothing but respect for him. Everything that he’s done at his age, how long he went. It gives me hope—something to strive for, something to reach for—because he was able to do it at such a high level for so long. That’s what I wanna do, and now he’s able to go out under his own terms, have these matches that he wants to have, and sail off into the sunset. That’s something that I would love to be able to do.”
On June 12, 2022, at the annual CyberFight Festival, Muta announced his decision to retire from professional wrestling in the new year.
