Outlook - One of the sky's-the-limit juniors in Japan. Though he's sort of torn between MMA and pro-wrestling, Murahama is probably better in the latter. He gets more exposure in his big DEEP losses, which may help him in the long run. Murahama is still a young man and could be a serious addition for MMA-friendly New Japan, reforming All Japan or even NOAH and Zero-One. We can only hope Murahama makes a move somewhere allowing him to fulfill his pro-wrestling potential.
