Great Muta and Shinsuke Nakamura recently locked horns at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s The New Year on Sunday. They shared some sort of a New Year’s kiss. Nakamura locked lips with Muta, sucking the infamous green mist from Muta’s mouth, and spat the notorious spray back in Muta’s face, then leveling the legend with a Bomaye knee strike to win the match, Muta’s last singles match in his career.
The Great Muta’s comments has sparked controversy
Shinsuke’s unorthodox technique for neutralizing Muta’s mist impressed the retiring legend, but Muta’s post-match comments were brief and controversial. Following the disgusting comments in his post-match where Muta said of Shinsuke Nakamura
“He’s good. Shinsuke, good,” Muta said, “but maybe he’s queer.” Muta seems to go even further with his assessment saying “He’s F***** maybe. Bye-bye, Shinsuke. No more.”
The YouTube clip is now private. Pro Wrestling NOAH has uploaded the statements to their YouTube channel, and Japanese and English Twitter accounts, with fans noting that the transcriptions of the comments focused on the farewell instead of the derogatory terms that preceded them. The deletions have been confirmed as well.
After facing a WWE Superstar in Nakamura, Muta is set to team with All Elite Wrestling’s Sting and Darby Allin on January 22 against yet-to-be-named opponents at Great Muta Bye-Bye in Yokohama.
