Keiji Muto, the hero that Tetsuya Naito admired since he was a child, was supposed to have his final match against Naito.

But instead, Muto went on to wrestle Masahiro Chono right after his match with Naito.

It's like Naito was completely tossed aside.

Now everyone is only talking about Muto vs. Chono, even though that wasn't the match that sold the event.

Naito deserved to be Muto's final opponent, and it feels like a betrayal that he wasn't.

Muto's last act as an active wrestler was betraying a young kid who he inspired.

If Naito had natural fighting instincts like the wrestlers during the Showa era, he would have been wary about entering the ring of another promotion and wouldn't have allowed himself to look so pitiful.

But of course, that's not how things work in the modern era.

It's frustrating to see such a legend like Muto disrespecting his own retirement match like that.

And it's heartbreaking to see Naito, a wrestler who admired him, get the short end of the stick.
