Another really hard one. I think Muto has such a good early 2000s run that I have to give it to him, if it was full career this would be easy

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Great Muta is forever.

 

[Keith]

Muto all day long. What a career. He stayed pretty consistent right till the end.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

yeah 2000s Mox is one of the most influential people in the biz so I went with him. Muto is amazing so it's just a weird matchup!

 

[Daddy Dom]

I def going Team Mox here

 

[Deadd2009]

Muta's a legend so he gets my vote by default.

 

[Tranquilo Jay]

Mox all day long for me. He's my favourite wrestler of this generation, so yeah easiest pick for me.

Since Deadd kinda brought it up with this (maybe I'm just misinterpreting your comment. I'm sorry, if I did), I just want to remind everyone, that while I don't care for what people's general preferences are, when it comes to deciding on who the "Greatest Wrestler" is, the one thing I do want everyone to take into consideration is what these Workers did just within these last 24 years.

So especially in cases of guys like Muta, throw everything he did before 2000 out the window, please.

its why i went Mox. Muta is a legend but I personally have not many memories of anything in the 00s

I couldn't get around voting for Moxley either, but I don't want to discredit Muto's run in this century either. It was just a reminder.

tbh it's fine, people are going to downplay Mox until he retires and then those same people will realize how wrong they were and how awesome he was

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Just a general statement btw , I just think mox is treated like the black sheep of the trio and imo is more successful than Seth but gets half the praise because he's a brawler

Edit : njpw, aew n wwe world champion, just sayin

It was close for me but the two big things that made me go Muto was the first few years of 2000. He reinvented (or deinvented really) to not be the Muta character as much. After that he had some experimental things that didn't necessarily hit but I applaud the attempt, and then fast forward to having one of the best retirement tours ever and getting me back into non-NJPW Japanese wrestling a couple years ago.

For Mox, the big things for me are Shield obviously, being the most over guy after it for a time too, and then being the MVP of AEW, but I do weight that a little less even tho I'd call him it just bc I think there's a lot of credit to be passed around even if Mox should get most

Mox is prob up there with Ciampa as my modern day favs especially now as a heel. I mean his heel runs in WWE left shit to be desired, minus his FCW heel run vs. Regal & Foley.
