I didn't mind it - just thought it was an unnecessary change. On that note, of all the things they decided to keep about the "WCW Goldberg mystique," the walk from the back was probably the one they should have cut.

It was unnecessary, but I ended up kind of preferring it.

This was when Christian was trying to be "the next Rock" after he left following his loss to Goldberg at Backlash 2003, and part of Christian being "the next Rock" was defeating Goldberg.

Alright. Watching the Akiyama/Morishima match got me in the mood for Puro, so I figured I'd post this for those that aren't too familiar with Japanese wrestling. It's a great match, uber-stiff. To give you a bit of background, these two are probably considered the strongest and toughest wrestlers in Japan and this was there first ever meeting in a singles match. Real interesting segment in part 2.

It may be a bit lengthy, but I think it's worth it.

If I was a wrestler, I'd definitely want to spend some time in Japan. I don't think I could take some of those stiff shots though.

It's also interesting to note that at the time of this match Kobashi isn't very far removed from a 2 year reign as GHC Heavyweight Champion and that his knees are in terrible shape.

Japanese fans pop for some odd things. I suppose its just cultural.

To build up this match even more, imagine a match with the build-up and awe from a mark's standpoint like say, Hogan v Warrior at Mania VI, but the wrestlers have the work ability of Hart v HBK.
That's probably how Japanese fans approached this match. |

I'm not a huge fan of Japanese wrestling. Is this chop war a normal thing?

When you get to the chop battle, turn up your volume and just listen.

Or is it like Benoit's 10 German Suplexes to Austin in that one match and more of a one time occurence?
