Great Muta Talks WWE Merging With UFC, His Hall Of Fame Induction

The Great Muta (Keiji Muto) did an interview with Tokyo Sports days following his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame last Friday night alongside Stacy Keibler, Rey Mysterio, Andy Kaufman, and Tim White. Here are the highlights: 

His conversation with Ric Flair about the honor:

“He (Ric Flair) congratulated me on the (WWE Hall of Fame induction) and asked me if I was happy. I told him, ‘Super happy.’ When I met Flair, he had his wife with him. I used to take him and Triple H out for yakiniku when they came to Japan. The woman who was with him at the time is now his wife, and I met her again after a long time and talked with her about that. I bought her a drink, even though she had more money than I did.”

Endeavor acquiring WWE with the promotion merging with the UFC into a new company: 

“I don’t know what will happen (concerning the WWE-UFC merger). Could it be a completely different WWE from now on? If that happens, maybe Muta will be the last one to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I don’t know what form it will take, but this may turn out to be an opportunity. I don’t know!”
