Muta, 62, flew to the North West to attend a fan convention at the BEC Arena.
He met supporters and gave a talk at For the Love of Wrestling – but was less than taken with his food options.
Muta – real name Keiji Muto – popped into the Bishop Blaize by Manchester United‘s Old Trafford stadium.
He was joined by fellow wrestlers including Mark Henry and Debra McMichael.
But after ordering some ramen noodles, the Japanese legend was floored.
Uploading a picture of his dish and a disgusted face to X, Muta spluttered: “As for ramen…what the heck is this?!”
The wrestler also tackled a chicken katsu curry, which he declared was simply: “Okay.”
Despite his disastrous dinner, the wrestler wasn’t put off entirely and returned to the same pub later in the weekend.

Brutal attack
In February 2024, Jonathan Hutty, 49, was found with serious injuries in his flat in Padstow House, Hull.
He was immediately transported to the hospital, however, Mr Hutty never regained consciousness.
He was left in a ‘’deep coma’’ after suffering serious face and head injuries.
Following the attack, three suspects were initially arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, however, on March 11 – 16 days after the incident took place – Mr Hutty died in hospital as a result of his injuries.
According to a statement shared by Humberside Police: “The post-mortem examination concluded the cause of death was a severe head injury, likely as a result of an assault.”
Murder investigation launched
Following Mr Hutty’s death, a murder investigation was launched.
This included conducting house-to-house enquiries, reviewing CCTV footage, extensive analysis of phone data, and forensic examinations.
Detective Chief Inspector Ben Robinson, who led the investigation, said at the time: “I understand an incident of this nature is likely to cause concern within the local community, however, I’d like to reassure people that we do believe this to be an isolated incident between individuals known to each other.”
“Since we received the report, I have had a dedicated team of detectives conducting extensive lines of enquiries, including house to house and reviewing CCTV footage in and around the area.”
After reviewing hours of CCTV footage in and around the area, three suspects were captured inside Padstow House and later seen entering a lift to travel to Mr Hutty’s flat.
Discussing the findings, Detective Chief Inspector Ben Robinson said: “All three men later left the flat, making no attempt to help Jonathan and leaving him for dead, before a friend later found him on the floor with a serious head injury and alerted emergency services.”
‘’Whilst Jonathan was receiving treatment in hospital, officers attended the property and conducted extensive enquiries where it was established that Jonathan had been kicked, stamped and punched.’’
The detective added: “All three were subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder.”
Investigating officers also seized clothing worn by the suspects on the night of the attack.

Following forensic and DNA testing, blood which was confirmed to be that of Mr Hutty was identified on the footwear of two suspects – Ian Smalley and Gavin Leaning.
Forensic testing also found blood on Smalley’s jeans.
Text messages sent by Smalley were also recovered, in which he admitted he had killed Mr Hutty.
Missing bank card
Detectives also discovered that prior to the incident, Smalley had visited his bank to report that his bank card was missing, which he had wrongly accused Mr Hutty of stealing.
Detective Chief Inspector Ben Robinson explained: ‘’Due to the accusation over a missing bank card, Smalley and Leaning went to Jonathan’s flat with one intention – to cause him serious harm.
“Jonathan was killed by people he knew and trusted and regarded as his friends, having done nothing to warrant the brutal attack inflicted upon him.”

Three individuals, including Smalley and Leaning, were charged with murder.
Justice for Jonathan
Following a four-week trial at Hull Crown Court, in December 2024, Gavin Leaning, 52, of Padstow House was found guilty of manslaughter.
He was jailed for 13 years.
Ian Smalley, 54, of Hutt Street, pleaded guilty to murder; he originally denied the charge but later asked to change his plea.
He was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 17-and-a-half years.
A third individual was acquitted after the jury found him not guilty of murder or manslaughter.

After the sentencing, a statement shared by Humberside Police read: “This has been a long and complex investigation, with hours of CCTV footage being trawled in the initial weeks to establish the events leading to Jonathan’s death.
‘’Once our suspects were identified; we then had the task of carrying out various forensic and mobile phone data analysis to build a strong evidential case against them.
“Whilst we welcome the outcome, we recognise nothing can reverse the horrendous actions committed by Smalley and Leaning or take away the heartache and pain Jonathan’s family have to live with for the rest of their lives.
“Finally, I’d like to commend my dedicated team of investigating officers within our Major Crime Team who have worked relentlessly to bring these violent men to justice.
“We will always do everything we can to seek justice for those who come to harm at the hands of others, and to ensure those who commit the crime are held to account for their actions.’’

EMMERDALE star Jeff Hordley opened up about his life-changing health transformation after decades of struggles.
Famed for his role as the Dales bad boy Cain Dingle, actor Jeff Hordley has bravely opened up about how he completely turned his life around after battling ongoing health issues for years.
An Emmerdale legend revealed that many people are often in search of “quick fixes” rather than adopting a more holistic approach to their well-beingGetty Images - GettyITVJeff Hordley also addressed whether he fears his character Cain being killed off[/caption]

The ITV soap star, 54, shared the personal journey that helped him regain control and transform his health.
Jeff has a chronic health condition that he has been battling since his 20s, Crohn’sdisease.
He has revealed how he has stayed healthy without medication, after he discussed his health during an appearance on the Another Day Another Collar podcast.
Host Steve Mann asked him about his ambassadorship for Crohn’s disease.
Jeff said: “Crohn’s; no, I’m not anymore, but I was for years because I’ve had Crohn’s since I was 24, 25, and I’ve now managed to keep it under wraps because of diet.
“We eat very much seasonally; we eat from our allotment, from definitely June through to now.
“So that’s how I’ve managed to do it and exercise and things like that. I’ve managed to avoid any medication, which not every Crohn’s sufferer manages to do, but that’s the way I’ve managed it.”
Jeff revealed that many people are often in search of “quick fixes” rather than adopting a more holistic approach to their well-being.
He explained that instead of focusing on their rest, exercise, and the food they consume, many people today turn to pills, calling it the “modern way” of dealing with health issues.
The NHS has identified Crohn’s disease as one of the two primary forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the other being ulcerative colitis.
These conditions affect over half a million individuals in the UK.
Jeff was diagnosed with Crohn’s after he sadly lost his mother, who also had the condition.
He went on to be an advocate who campaigned to raise awareness.
The Emmerdale legend also recently admitted that he’s “worried all the time” whenever there is a huge stunt on the soap.
What is Crohn's disease?
CROHN's disease is a lifelong condition where parts of the digestive system become inflamed.
It is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which, along with ulcerative colitis, affects almost half a million people in the UK.
Symptoms usually start in childhood, but the disease affects people of all ages. These include:
Diarrhoea
Stomach aches and cramps
Blood in your poo
Tiredness (fatigue)
Weight loss
There is no cure, but treatment can help reduce or control symptoms.
Some people take medication to lessen inflammation in the digestive system, while others might have surgery to remove a small area.
The exact cause is unknown, but genes, problems with your immune system, smoking, stomach bugs and gut bacteria imbalances are believed to play a part.

Jeff addressed fears of his character being killed off in the limo crash.
He told Metro: “When you hear that they’re doing stunts you instantly think, ‘Somebody’s going to die, somebody’s going to cop it here.’
“Or people being hospitalised, that’s the kind of thing that happens when you do sequences like this.”
Asked if the crash’s implications worried him, Jeff replied: “I’m worried all the time! Not all the time, that’s a little bit over the top.
“Every time there’s news of this it can unsettle us as a cast because we know the shelf life of characters is not forever in soaps and it’s down to the producers or the writers to steer the ship and take us in the direction they want to take us.”
Harrowing scenes that aired on Friday saw two groups set off on separate journeys across two limos.
Tensions were running high – with Caleb’s anger towards brother Cain at boiling point.
A devastating turn of events saw Caleb forced to swerve violently to avoid an oncoming truck.
Meanwhile, Charity’s limo veered dangerously after she caught sight of Noah stumbling into the road.
Chaotic moments saw passengers thrown around, glass shattering and residents crying in distress.
One of the limousines ultimately ended up being stranded on a frozen lake.
The occupants woke up to the terrifying realisation that they are balancing on dangerously thin ice.
One villager will be pronounced dead, leaving the group devastated.
But with the limo sinking further into the icy lake, there is no time to grieve.
As they try to escape one by one, one villager plunges through the ice and into the freezing water.
Struggling to break through the ice, they fight for air – only to be met with a chilling sight beneath the surface… a dead body.
And with people still trapped in the sinking limo, who will make it out alive?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.

GORDON Ramsay has revealed his plans to take over a well-known Michelin-starred restaurant that has been seen on MasterChef.
The Mayfair site was known for its French cuisine and for being the first restaurant to be awarded one, two and three stars.

News UK LtdLe Gavroche restaurant in Mayfair shut its doors in January but could be serving guests under a different name going forward[/caption]
Ever since its opening in 1967, Le Gavroche has been synonymous with the English-French chef Michel Roux Jr.
That was until the two star eatery closed its doors last month so the 63-year-old could “make time for a better work / life balance”.
“I was doing 80-90 hours a week sometimes and I think ‘god, did I really go through all that?’ I can’t say I absolutely loved every moment but it’s something I would do again.
“I’m glad I came to a decision to close and move on. I can sit comfortably with that.”
The Sun has approached Gordon Ramsay Restaurants for comment.
