Scroby 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 Hey I remember hearing something about japanese wrestlers that when they reach a certain status in wrestling they become the great something then later on they become Gran something. How does that work again if thats true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hot Ticket Report post Posted May 4, 2004 i tried lookin for you on google but all i could find was: On his second learning excursion to America in January, 1988, he began using a new persona, Great Muta, an enigmatic character who painted his face and blew poisonous mist. And I only saw stuff sayin that Hamada started out as Gran upon debut so I think its just a name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace309 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Hamada and Muta got their Gran/Great monikers without doing anything in particular for them. I've never heard Rikidozan or Tsuruta referred to as Great or Gran. The story doesn't seem to work at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
