Question About Keiji Mutoh

[Pheonix_Chi25]

I've always wanted to ask this, and I didn't know how to put it but....

What is that thing he does with his hands? That hand sign he does that looks like a new version of the old nWo hand sign. What is that and does it mean anything?

[Uraken]

My guess is he just kept that from his nWo days. Might be just a meanless sign just for show.

Or it's some kind of "pro-wrestling love" thing I heard about.

Anyone else?

[pigman]

Perhaps he's saying ROCK ON!!!

[darktowerchilde]

Maybe it's something like, "Fear the Wizard!". Oh and Pigman, nice change of avatar.

[raggin kilbasa]

Has he done that hand movement thing since he was the great muta but just a diffrent veriations.

[pigman]

I don't ever remember him using any other variations. I've always seen him use the same one.

[Pheonix_Chi25]

Interesting story about the hand sign Mutoh does, I've done at Bulls games and a few of the players (Tyson Chandler, Luol Deng, et al) like it and ask me where I got it from, I told them All Japan's Keiji Mutoh/The Great Muta, a few knew who I was talking about, so I kept it.

I just always wondered what it meant, someone told me it meat "Oudouo Love" or something like that (hope I spelled it right).

Has he done that hand sign his whole career?

[Uraken]

It is "Oudou Love". I think Oudou is related to All-Japan as their web-site is "oudou.co.jp".

As for when he started using that sign , I'm sure it's when he got in nWo(Muta or Mutoh).. As I don't recall seeing him do that before, other than some Jumbo Tsuruta type arm raising and his crazy pumping up taunts.

[Tradewynd]

Oudou is All Japan's traditional style. Some call it King's Road and/or Royal Road.

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

I always thought it was more of a slogan than a wrestling style.

[Uraken]

It's probably more of a slogan yes, because obviously, Mutoh has no love for the All-Japan traditionnal style, since he changed it pretty much. My thought..
