Muta with a new look? Sounds interesting!

From Oudou Love:

"Yesterday's show had more involvement on the MUTA/Muto angle leading into this Sunday. MUTA had took out Muto during their match and Muto went to the back, making it 2 vs. 3, but then the lights went off in the arena and Muto returned to the ring as Darkness Muta (face paint)! Darkness Muta hasn't been used since going bald so this proves how dangerous the character can be. Muta took off Arashi's mask, sprayed him with green mist, and used his Darkness Elbow drop as Honma scored the pinfall!"

Me thinks I might have to buy this tape just for that one match.

Well Muto trying to raise interest by re-inventing himself again...

[Tradewynd]

As I recall shaving his head and inventing the Shining Wizard worked out pretty well for him last time...

[kwilson83]

I must admit, it has me intrigued as well. Mutoh always manages to make things interesting with his character, no doubt about that.

[Haiku Warrior]

...shaving his head...

I do believe it was more of him going bald

[Luds]

I think that Muto still has the ability to do something nice with this.

I give Mutoh credit, at 40 years old this man is reinventing himself over and over again and staying fresh in the annals of puro. I just saw the pics of Darkness Muta, and he looks awesome.

Question what is that hand thing Mutoh (as himself) does? When he kisses his fingers and does a wolf pack type thing?

[Luds]

He's been doing that hand thing for a very long time. Not sure when he started though

Where I can see Darkness Muta pics? Does anyone can post the link for me?
Thnxs!

Someone posted them in another thread, I just can't remember which one. But I posted the same pics in the right column at my site, www.wrestlingencyclopedia.com You can see them there.
