Munenori Sawa (澤 宗紀 Sawa Munenori, born April 20, 1979)[3][4][5] is a Japanese retired professional wrestler. Sawa was trained by and spent his entire career in the Battlarts promotion, adopting the promotion's "Bati Bati" wrestling style, known for its stiff strikes and submission-based shoot wrestling, but would often also incorporate comedy into his matches, especially when performing as Lingerie Mutoh (ランジェリー武藤 Ranjerī Mutō), his comedic take on Keiji Mutoh. Besides Battlarts, Sawa also worked for various other promotions in Japan, Germany and the United States, most notably Pro Wrestling Zero1, where he became an NWA Intercontinental Tag Team and NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Champion and the winner of the 2011 Tenkaichi Jr. tournament, and where he wrestled his retirement match on November 9, 2011, four days after the folding of Battlarts.

Professional wrestling career

Early career

After graduating from high school, Sawa entered the Battlarts dojo, where he was trained by the promotion's founder Yuki Ishikawa and Tamashii Okamoto in amateur wrestling.[3] Sawa later continued wrestling in college.[4] In 2002, Sawa started taking part in grappling matches,[3] before entering UWF Snakepit Japan, where he received further training in mixed martial arts and professional wrestling.[3] Sawa made his professional wrestling debut on August 31, 2003, but did not become a full-time wrestler until nearly two years later.[3][5] In 2005, Sawa won a grappling tournament in the 80 kg (180 lb) class, held by Combat Wrestling.[4] Sawa fought his only official mixed martial arts match on May 21, 2006, when he was defeated by Takeshi Ono via technical knockout due to strikes.[7]

Battlarts (2005–2011)

After deciding to become a full-time professional wrestler, Sawa returned to Battlarts in 2005, making the promotion his new home.[3] He made his in-ring debut for the promotion on June 5 in a losing effort against Daisuke Sekimoto.[8] For his first 25 months in the promotion, Sawa was unable to win a single match, losing to the likes of Manabu Hara,[9] Daisuke Ikeda,[10] Viktor Krueger in a WAA Heavyweight Championship match,[11] and Yuki Ishikawa,[12] before finally submitting Michinoku Pro Wrestling's Fujita "Jr." Hayato for his first win on July 21, 2007.[13] From October to November, Sawa, along with Yuki Ishikawa, represented Battlarts in Fu-Ten Promotion's Bati Bati tag team tournament, where they made it to the semifinals, before losing to Takahiro Oba and Takeshi Ono.[14][15] In late 2007, Sawa began feuding with El Dorado Wrestling representative Toru Owashi. On November 11, Owashi and Manabu Hara defeated Sawa and Ikuto Hidaka in a tag team match via referee stoppage, after Sawa was unable to continue following Owashi's powerbomb.[16] On December 24, Sawa and Owashi met in a singles match, which Owashi won via knockout following another powerbomb.[17] When Owashi left Battlarts at the end of the year, Sawa started a new rivalry with Alexander Otsuka, with the first exchange between the two taking place on April 6, 2008, when Otsuka and Katsumi Usuda defeated Sawa and Yuki Ishikawa in a tag team match with Otsuka defeating Sawa via knockout following a dragon suplex.[18] Sawa and Otsuka met in a singles match on June 8, when Otsuka was again victorious.[19] Nine days later, Sawa's and Otsuka's rivalry led to a match in the Real Japan Pro Wrestling (RJPW) promotion, where Sawa unsuccessfully challenged Otsuka for his RJPW Legend Championship.[20] On July 26, Sawa teamed with Otsuka and Yuki Ishikawa in a six man elimination tag team match, where they wrestled Daisuke Ikeda, Katsumi Usuda and Super Tiger II to a draw.[21] The match received rave reviews and was later recognized as one of the best matches of 2008.[22] The final singles match between Sawa and Otsuka took place on January 10, 2009, when Otsuka defeated Sawa in the first round of the B-Rule grappling tournament.[23] The following July, Sawa took part in the first B1 Climax tournament.[24] After two wins and two losses, Sawa failed to advance from his round-robin block.[25][26][27][28]

On February 7, 2010, Sawa took part in Yuta Yoshikawa's retirement match, where he and Ikuto Hidaka defeated Yoshikawa and Katsumi Usuda, with Sawa defeating Yoshikawa via technical knockout.[29] On December 26, Sawa teamed with Battlarts founder Yuki Ishikawa in a tag team match, where they were defeated by Hideki Suzuki and Super Tiger II.[30] Following the match, Ishikawa announced that Battlarts would be folding at the end of 2011.[31] For the final year of the promotion, Sawa and Ishikawa worked together, both as partners and opponents.[32][33] On June 19, Sawa and Ishikawa met in the "Final Master and Pupil Showdown" main event singles match, which was won by Ishikawa.[34] On August 21, Sawa teamed with Yujiro Yamamoto in a tag team main event, where they defeated Manabu Suruga and Seiken.[35] Following the match, Sawa announced that he would be retiring from professional wrestling following Battlarts' dissolution.[36] On November 5, 2011, at Battlarts' final event, Sawa defeated Manabu Suruga via submission.[37]

Pro Wrestling Zero1 (2005–2011)

Early on in his career, Sawa created himself an alter ego, Lingerie Mutoh, a comedy persona based on Keiji Mutoh. As Lingerie Mutoh, Sawa dressed in a bald cap, fake facial hair and women's lingerie and adopted all of Keiji Mutoh's signature moves and mannerisms, often performing them in an exaggerated manner for comedic effect.[38][39][40] Sawa, as Lingerie Mutoh, made his debut for Pro Wrestling Zero1-Max on August 20, 2005, when he teamed with Haruka Matsuo in an intergender tag team match, where they defeated Amazing Kong and Fugofugo Yumeji.[41] Sawa worked several intergender matches alongside and against Kong for the rest of the month.[41] On January 24, 2006, Sawa made his first Pro Wrestling Zero1-Max appearance under his real name, losing to Osamu Namiguchi in a singles match.[42] Sawa and Namiguchi wrestled two rematches during the next two months; the first, on February 24, was won by Sawa,[43] and the second, on March 28, by Namiguchi.[44] In June, Sawa formed a short-lived partnership with Gentaro, which led to him receiving his first title shot in Zero1-Max, when the two unsuccessfully challenged Ikuto Hidaka and Minoru Fujita for the NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Championship on June 26.[45] After spending some time away from Zero1-Max, Sawa returned on September 29 to unsuccessfully challenge Minoru Fujita for the AWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship.[46] Sawa began making more regular appearances for Zero1-Max in May 2007, when he joined forces with Ikuto Hidaka, Minoru Fujita and Takuya Sugawara to battle Dick Togo's villainous Far East Connection (FEC) stable in Zero1-Max's junior heavyweight division.[47] The rivalry lasted until August 2, when Sawa, Fujita and Sugawara were defeated in a six man tag team match by Togo, Masaaki Mochizuki and Tatsuhito Takaiwa.[48] On September 3, Sawa wrestled his up to that point highest profile match in Zero1-Max, when he unsuccessfully challenged Takao Ōmori for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship.[49] On September 25, Sawa entered his first Tenkaichi Jr. tournament, defeating Chad Malenko in his first round match.[50] Three days later, Sawa was eliminated from the tournament in the second round by Dick Togo.[50] At the end of the year, on December 2, Sawa unsuccessfully challenged Ikuto Hidaka for the AWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship.[51]

In the beginning of 2008, most of Zero1-Max's roster was split up into two opposing camps; Masato Tanaka's Sword Army and Takao Ōmori's Axe Army.[52] Sawa, along with old acquaintance Ikuto Hidaka decided to join the Sword Army and went on to represent the stable in several matches against members of their rival stable.[53][54][55] On July 20, Sawa and Hidaka unsuccessfully challenged Axe Army representatives Minoru Fujita and Takuya Sugawara for the NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Championship.[56] A rematch between the two teams took place on August 3 in Korakuen Hall, where Sawa and Hidaka were victorious, becoming the new NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Champions.[57] Sawa and Hidaka made their first successful defense on August 31 in Battlarts, defeating Yuki Ishikawa and Yuta Yoshikawa.[58] On October 28, Sawa won a one-night qualifying tournament to earn a spot in the 2008 Tenkaichi Jr. tournament.[59] After defeating Takuya Sugawara in his opening round match, Sawa was eliminated from the 2008 Tenkaichi Jr. in the semifinals by Tatsuhito Takaiwa, who went on to win the entire tournament.[60] On December 17, Sawa again unsuccessfully challenged his tag team partner Ikuto Hidaka for the Zero1 International Junior Heavyweight Championship.[61] On February 7, 2009, Sawa and Hidaka made their second successful defense of the NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Championship, first in Zero1, against Great Sasuke and Osamu Namiguchi.[62] Sawa continued teaming with Hidaka throughout 2009, with the two making successful title defenses against the teams of Katsumi Usuda and Minoru,[63] Minoru Fujita and Yusaku Obata,[64] Speed of Sounds (Hercules Senga and Tsutomu Oosugi),[64] and previous champions Minoru Fujita and Takuya Sugawara.[65] On October 24, Sawa and Hidaka defeated Kamikaze and Kohei Sato to win the NWA Intercontinental Tag Team Championship, becoming double tag team champions.[66] In December, Sawa and Hidaka took part in the 2009 Furinkazan, a tag team tournament featuring both junior heavyweight and heavyweight wrestlers. After two wins and one draw, Sawa and Hidaka were defeated in the final day of the tournament by old rivals Minoru Fujita and Takuya Sugawara and, as a result, finished second in their round-robin block, narrowly missing the finals of the tournament.[67] On January 27, 2010, Sawa and Hidaka lost the NWA Intercontinental Tag Team Championship to the 2009 Furinkazan winners, Akebono and Shinjiro Otani.[68] The two then resumed defending the NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Championship, defeating Dragon Gate representatives Masaaki Mochizuki and Super Shisa on February 28,[69] and American promotion Chikara representatives The Osirian Portal (Amasis and Ophidian) on May 8.[70] Finally, after a reign of 766 days, the longest in the title's history, and eight successful defenses, Sawa and Hidaka lost the NWA International Lightweight Championship to Kaijin Habu Otoko and Takuya Sugawara on September 8, 2010.[71]

Later in September, Sawa again made it to the semifinals of the Tenkaichi Jr. tournament, before losing to tag team partner Ikuto Hidaka.[72] In the 2010 Furinkazan, Sawa opted to team with Dramatic Dream Team (DDT) and Pancrase representative Hikaru Sato instead of Hidaka. However, with a record of one win and three losses, the team finished nowhere near a place in the finals.[73] Despite their unimpressive tournament, Sawa and Sato received a shot at the NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Championship on January 1, 2011, but were unable to dethrone Kaijin Habu Otoko and Takuya Sugawara.[74] On March 6 at Zero1's tenth anniversary event, Sawa attempted to win his first singles title in the promotion, but was defeated by Craig Classic in his match for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship.[75] On March 27, Sawa reunited with Ikuto Hidaka for a rematch for the NWA International Lightweight Tag Team Championship, but the two were again defeated by Otoko and Sugawara.[76] On June 14, Sawa took part in Dick Togo's Zero1 retirement match, where he, Fujita "Jr." Hayato and Masato Tanaka were defeated by Togo, Funaki and Ikuto Hidaka.[77] On September 14, Sawa entered the 2011 Tenkaichi Jr. tournament with a win over Takuya Sugawara.[78] After defeating Susumu Yokosuka in the semifinals, Sawa defeated Fujita "Jr." Hayato on September 17 to win the tournament.[78][79] As a result, Sawa received another shot at the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship, however, this time Zero1's version of the title, on October 2, but was again defeated by Craig Classic.[80] On November 6, the day after the folding of Battlarts, Sawa wrestled his retirement match as Lingerie Mutoh, losing to World Wonder Ring Stardom representative Yoshiko.[81][82] Three days later, Sawa was defeated by longtime tag team partner Ikuto Hidaka in his professional wrestling retirement match.[6] At the end of the year, Zero1 fans voted Sawa the 2011 MVP.[83]
