Muta Scale

Recommended Posts

Guest

Practically everyone and their mother has busted out the Muta scale reference these days, but, seeing as how I've never seen the Muta-Hase match that spawned this form of bladejob measurement, I've been at a loss as how to use it properly. So I appeal to you, People of the Foreign Board, to help me out. Could someone lead me to a website that has a picture from this match? Thanks in advance.

I don't know about pictures, but www.goldenboytapes.com has the tape of the TV show it aired on for $7.00. Even helpfully noted as "Muta vs Hase bloodbath.

I don't have any pictures, but I think that Keith really does overstate how bad it was.  It's just a shade bloodier than Austin at WMXIII, and I think less than Jericho's infamous bloodbath in the Thrillseekers/Heavenly Bodies match in SMW.  Also, the various deathmatches in the indies and Japan routinely out-blade the Muta match.

That's all well and good, but since it's such a widely used device, I'm still curious.

 

If no one can provide a picture, here's a new question: Is the match itself good? I'll buy a copy of a tape that has the match if it is worth my time.

It's available for download - just read the threads here more closely for FTP and Hotline and mentions of that nature.

I'll try and see if I can get some screen captures.

 

Sure, there have been bloodier, but in that match, Muta's blood just goes everywhere, and its so thick that it covers everything.

It wasnt a great match, but the bladeing instrument was unique, looked to be half a gigant pair of scissors, and its just muta bleeding like crazy for about 12 minutes and the blood just flows from him and it gets all over himself and hase. Its not super special or anything. Go get some garbage japan stuff if bloods what you want.

Nah, I'm not a fan of the garbage stuff. I was just wondering about this particular match.

So SK's put up a picture of the Muta bladejob (found here), and GOOD LORD. Yuk.

That pic is not offensive.

That's a little more offensive, but I've seen worse things.

It's a close call between the Muta match and the Jerico SMW match in terms of bloodiness. Muta DID start literally dripping 5 seconds after Hase stopped using the spike on him, whereas Jericho took longer to develop the full crimson mask.

 

Nevertheless, it's good bloodshed, so why dont you judge for yourself?

So I watched that Heavenly Bodies-Thrillseekers match (good stuff, and thanks, TigerDriver), and Jericho does indeed score some super-impressive juice, though the painkillers in his system for his broken arm helped. But how did Muta spill so much blood?  Aspirin and/or alcohol? Did he simply slice himself numerous times?

I had posted a link to that pic, and made a few other comments, too (hell, I started this thread), but all has been lost in The Great Forum Purge of 2002.

 

Motherfucker!
