10 Wrestlers Who Broke The Muta Scale
7. Jun Kasai
Just look at the scars on that motherf*cker's back. It looks disgusting.
What's weird about Jun Kasai, who you can probably infer from the picture alone is a proponent of the garbage match, is that he isn't a worker akin to the dearly departed Mr. Pogo - a man, bless him, devoid of any discernible wrestling talent - he's d*mn sound mechanically. He doesn't perform in garbage matches because he cannot perform in traditional matches. Much like Necro Butcher, Jun Kasai is pro wrestling's version of a Marina Abramovic, or an Orlan - a performance artist concerned with self-destruction, more so than he is a professional wrestler in the strictest sense. He can go, but chooses to gig. Testing the personal threshold of pain and the stomach of the audience may not be art. Mileage varies. But, for those with an affection for mutilation, Kasai must be the 1989 vintage Ric Flair.
Examples of his shattering the Muta scale are numerous; lacerating his back and face is just what he does in a wrestling ring - something highlighted by his decision to wear a white contact lens in his left eye, which only serves to render the image that much more prominent, that much more grotesque.
