It had been speculated for a year that the Great Muta would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and it became official yesterday.  The now-retired Japanese legend will be making his first official appearance on live WWE programming at the induction ceremony.

Keiji Mutoh began his career in 1984 s part of the New Japan Pro Wresting Dojo, and he gained experience in his native country and abroad, most notably by adopting the Great Muta gimmick in the NWA, where he dazzled fans with his unique style.  He won the Television Title in 1989, but returned to New Japan shortly after, where he would compete both under his real name and as his painted-face alter ego.

Muta was a top star in Japan throughout the next 20 years, winning every title worth having.  This included the IWGP Heavyweight (4), IWGP Tag Team (6), the G1, All-Japan Triple Crown (3), and All-Japan Tag Team (5).  He also started his own promotion, Wrestle-1.

While Muta never wrestled under the WWE banner, his influence in the current product is universally known. 

On our latest Notinhalloffame list of those to consider for the WWE Hall of Fame, Muta was ranked at #18.  He will be removed following the announcement of the full class.

The ceremony will take place on March 31, just before Wrestlemania.

We here at Noinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the Great Muta for his impending honor.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top Philadelphia Phillies.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Phillies had a great year, and won the National League Pennant, though they were defeated by the Houston Astros.  Astoundingly, this did not yield any new entrants to the Top 50, though there were three that were very close.

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Mike Schmidt

2. Robin Roberts

3. Steve Carlton

4. Ed Delahanty

5. Pete Alexander

You can find the entire list here.

The only elevation is Aaron Nola, who rocketed to #23 from #38.

As mentioned above, three current Phillies almost cracked the top 50, Zack Wheeler, Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto.  We expect that all three will vault into the list after our post-2023 revision.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Do you know that there's still something you can do to make your experience of watching your favorite sports more exciting? You might already enjoy every second of the game you watch with your favorite team. However, you could still experience more adrenaline and excitement as long as you know how to do it. 

If you want to boost your thrill on the next game you plan to watch, you better start considering doing the following tips below and enjoy the game like never before. 

Incorporate Betting Into It

There is no better way to make your sports-watching experience more thrilling and fun than start betting on your favorite sport. Aside from making your experience exciting, you can also profit from betting, especially if you know how to do the betting properly. 

It's also best to explore other sports aside from what you always watch. It will help you improve your betting knowledge and skills, broadening your options. If you love watching football, you might want to start betting against your friends. 

In the United States, the biggest football event is the NFL Playoffs, which conclude as the most-awaited Super Bowl. There is no denying its popularity, especially for bettors who want to profit while cheering for their favorite team.

Australia also has its own version of the NFL, bringing with it its own betting games. Those who bet on Australian Football League (AFL) often win hefty payouts. Because of this, the AFL’s sporting events have captured the interest of Australian bettors. It’s no surprise why it’s the second most popular sport in the country, with the National Rugby League (NRL) claiming the top spot.

Watch Your Favorite Sport in Person

The most immersing approach to watching sports is to attend a professional game at the site where it will be played. Just picture a frenzied audience supporting their favorite team as the halftime show performer takes the stage. It will undoubtedly be a thrilling and memorable experience!

Buy those game tickets and bring your family or friends to watch with you on-site. Enjoy the game, the crowd, and even the food on site. You will never watch your favorite sports the same way again once you get to experience the game on-site. 

Create a Fan Club 

If you're already a diehard fan of a team in a particular sport, why not start a fan club? If you have a fan club, all the club members who are also diehard fans like yourself could watch the game together. 

You can organize a watch party where you get to enjoy delicious food and drinks while watching the game unfold. Watching the game with other fans can be more fun than watching it alone on your TV or computer. 

As you watch the game with the other fans, you can try prop bets on your favorite team to make the experience more exciting. But before you become too excited about this idea, you must first know how to establish a fan club. 

Here is a to-do list that will help you jumpstart and streamline the creation of your fan club:

• Choose a name. Make it related to the team that you are supporting. 
• Learn what legal obligations you need to comply with. 
• Establish the requirements one must obtain to become a member.
• Constitute the club member guidelines.
• Create a website and social media page for your club
• Start the recruitment process

You can start recruiting your friends or family members and colleagues who support the same team as you do. Don't get disappointed if you only have a few members, as it will definitely increase the longer your club exists and more and more individuals hear about it. 

Experience the Sport Yourself

You can never truly understand a sport once you haven't experienced playing it yourself. Yes, you can still enjoy watching a game even though you haven't played the sport yet. But if you're looking for a way to make your experience of watching a game more thrilling, then you better start playing it yourself. 

By starting to play the sport, you will become more entitled to comment on and understand the players' struggles and emotions than not experience the game firsthand. 

You will also develop a deeper appreciation for the sport and its players once you have been in their shoes. You can play with your friends or enroll in your local sports club. 

Participate in Fantasy Sports

Fantasy sports are games you participate in virtually, where you assemble a virtual team from real-life sports players. 

Your team will earn points based on the player's performance in real-life games. This performance is then turned into points which are tallied and summed following a roster chosen by the manager of each fantasy club.

Such point systems may be easy enough for a "league commissioner" to compute manually, or they may be gathered and calculated by computers that track the real outcomes of the professional sport. Similar to real-life sports, team managers in fantasy sports can trade, draft, and drop players.
