MAIN EVENT TIME
Keiji Mutoh vs Scott FUCKING Norton IWGP title
NWO still a thing in japan at this point, andbthey've evolved into a face group. Norton is in the group but earned a shot against mutoh, who is the leader.
Like that Norton is trying to match mutoh on the mat, rather than doing the generic beginning of match big guy routine.
Mutoh WORKING that leg. Norton selling like the vet he is. Better worker than all the big nwo names.
Fuck yeah norton power bomb.
God, still hard to watch mutohs moonsault knowing what it did to his knees, as well as having had knee issues myself. He does a low flying high velocity moonsault that looks cool, but smashes his knees into the mat.
Mutoh gets the W witn the fourth figure 4 and like a dozen dragon screw leg whips. He may have won the title, but hes no Scott Norton. Then again, who is?
Good match. Played to both their strengths. Probably one of the best matches in Nortons career.
