Brothers in Paint: 10 best face painted wrestlers of all time

#4 The Great Muta

The Great Muta was billed as Kabuki's son.

Keiji Muto was sent to America to hone his skills, and ended up with the NWA and later Ted Turner's WCW. Manager Gary Hart introduced him to the world as the 'son of the Great Kabuki.'

Like Kabuki, Muta painted his face and used 'poison mist' to blind his opponents. Unlike Kabuki, he had a face-paced, strong and Lucha style of wrestling. Muta is the first wrestler to popularize the moonsault in America and was renowned for his stiff kicks and strikes.

Muta held both the NWA Tv title and the WCW world title in the US, and far too many belts to mention on one slide in his native Japan.
