7 Ups & 5 Downs From NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 (Review)
4. Keiji Muto, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Shota Umino vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, Sanada & Bushi)
More fun than good, it was hard not to raise a smile when Keiji Muto insisted on starting the match instead of one of his younger partners, especially when one of those was the 46-year-old Hiroshi Tanahashi.
Such was the magic of the babyface trio cast against Los Ingobernables de Japon for the latest stop on Muto's farewell tour.
The three brushed aside Tetsuya Naito, Sanada and Bushi in something that would have scanned as a bit of a demotion for Naito and Tanahashi had the whole thing not gone down in the intended nostalgic spirit - Muto had the energy of the "I'll f*ckin do it again" Goofy meme as 'The Ace' blocked his attempt to do a psychotic moonsault one last time, but Bushi was eventually fed to the faces to give Shota Umino a big Wrestle Kingdom win.
