🗣 @muto_keiji: “The match against Chono, I really wanted to do it. Chono and I debuted together and I wanted to end the event with him. I didn’t know he could move like that."#noah_ghc #MutoFinalpic.twitter.com/AAnCflQ3ZU

Muto: “For the past month I've had a lot of trouble with my injuries. I worked hard on my rehab so I'm glad I was able to move more than I thought. It's been a happy career for me as a lot of wrestlers don't get to have retirement matches."#noah_ghc pic.twitter.com/vd182r9DdA
