Kobashi has to be one of the greatest babyfaces of all time. The moment where he throws his own body over Misawa to protect him during the Greatest Tag Match Ever (you know the one) is easily one of the best babyface moves I've ever seen.
@@jalvinpena Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi vs Toshiaki Kawada and Akira Taue, June 5th, 1995 When I saw it, A friend showed it to me on a tape that came with a label that just said "The Best Tag Match Ever" and that was all it said, and that was the only match that was on the tape.
he's 52 i think that people from 1-50 have a 25% chance of dying that early but if there 51-60 or more that would be like 40% or more % chance of dying because a lot of wrestlers dyed at an old age so there no worrying (for now :l )
I was in attendance for European Navigation 2008, every single person in that arena, even the ring crew and various hangers on around ringside were chanting "KO-BA-SHI!" when he made his entrance. He was also a really nice guy to meet.
I've heard about Mitsuharu Misawa some time ago from Dave Meltzer's tweets and a couple of days ago I just randomly decided to check out his famous matches vs Kenta Kobashi (who I also heard of but never actually seen). Oh my god, I've missed 2 of the greatest of all time, I get choked up just by watching their matches and hearing their theme songs, super nostalgic (even though I didn't get to witness them in that period of time). Rest in peace Misawa :'-( and thank you Kobashi !
Fuck yeah!!! I miss the wrestling channel such good shit on there including some really rare old Japanese shows, British indies, some Mexican lucha stuff and even some more modern american indies thrown in. I remember watching a Japanese match that had Cactus Jack that blew me away. Also that channel introduced me to Hayabusa and Misawa for the first time.
@@sukhdeepbutty2399 OMG I missed out Badly. I remember TNA Impact being on like 125 or something. What did the Wrestling Channel have, everything apart from WWE?
Puroresu theme have so much expressionism in them and many classic ones happened to be in the key of A minor : MISAWA - SPARTAN X TENZAN KOBASHI - GRAND SWORD TENRYU - THUNDER STORM CHONO - NWO CRASH/HARD CRUSH (Main Chorus), Fantastic City 92 HASHIMOTO- BAKUSHO SENGEN ...
One of the best choppers in Pro Wrestling, hands down. His chops look pretty brutal and an excellent wrestler as well. Not only that, he even beat cancer. Move aside JBL, Kobashi right here is the REAL wrestling god.
JM Bruce I said because this was during the time before I knew puroresu(Japanese Wrestling). Kenny Omega's great and all, but I think Kenta Kobashi is alot better, at least for me. and I agree, JBL's nothing more but a joke.
His Match in 97' against Mitsuharu Misawa is on RUclips. So is his March 1st 2003 match against Misawa which is the best match of the millennium so far
Kobashi not being known by the American audience would actually kinda work because they could have him come in like "who is this old guy we've never heard of?" and then he fucking lariats someone like Roman Reigns and pins them in fifteen seconds.
My personal favorite wrestler ever and one of the top 5 loved baby faces in the world. Not to mention the most inspiring arsenal of all time, there are no indy matches that don’t feature at least one of his suplex variations 🙌
@@hkr9095 Agreed 100%, Kobashi be a poor fit in today's WWE. Extremely different style and era. Kobashi would be better off fighting a Bret Hart, Ricky Steamboat, or Ric Flair. Not today's type of wrestlers and it's not even a comparison. Kobashi should stay retired, or at most open a wrestling school or in a behind the scenes role.
Please, no. AEW would make Kobashi job out to Darby Allin or someone. I was really mad when they made Satoshi Kojima lose to CM Punk. Worst finish I've ever seen and the crowd was cheering Kojima over Punk, and Kojima in his 50s wrestled far better in the match in better shape. Guys like Kobashi and Kojima were titans, not skinny fat small guys. They're better suited for a Bret Hart, Ric Flair, or Ricky Steamboat type wrestler.
Kenta Kobashi would eat AJ Styles for breakfast. Two very different styles, types, and eras of wrestlers and Kobashi was a big dude gladiator in comparison. Kenta Kobashi vs. Bret Hart in the KOR 1995 finals would be a dream match. Kenta Kobashi vs. Ricky Steamboat or Ric Flair in 1994 WCW would be amazing as well.
The man survived Cancer and still returned to compete for a while afterwards. The man is an icon!
Similarly to Roman Reigns
Antonio Lopez no
Antonio Lopez Roman reigns and Kenta kobashi don’t even belong in the same sentence Roman is nothing compared to kobashi-San
Kobashi chopped cancer into oblivion.
@@lawngdawng8313 Better yet, Kobashi gave cancer the Burning Hammer.
This theme is the definition of pure endurance, resilience, perseverance, it really personified Kobashi who was a tough SOB.
