“I wish you nothing but the best, my friend. The times we had together were very special to me, and I greatly appreciate your help in the business. I’m a fan. I am a peer. And ultimately, I am saddened about your retirement because all good things must come to an end.”

The Great Muta is set to exit the industry on his own terms, leaving behind a great legacy. His amazing work and contributions have paved the way for many Japanese and other young talents to dream big and make a name for themselves in the wrestling business.
