It's based on this whole concept called "Fighting Spirit". Basically you just dish back and forth taking each other's best shots until the strongest wrestler is determined. |

Damn. You can see how bruised their chests are in some of the close ups. Just brutal.

I need to watch more Kobashi. I've only watched a small amount of his matches. Including the one with Samoa Joe

Yeah those spinning chops were fucking brutal. Triple H would cry like a bitch if he got hit with one of those.

He's got some great matches from his early career against Dr Death Steve Williams. Now, this was before Kobashi was as high up in the card as he was in against Sasaki. He was also (obviously) younger and more mobile at the time, so his style is a bit different, but still excellent. |

Ok, there's no way I can top that last match, but here's my pick...
Stone Cold Steve Austin & Triple H vs. Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho |

Interesting tidbit: If HHH never tore his quad here, the Invasion likely would have been started much later and probably unfolded way differently.
I have read that the injury of HHH and The Rock leaving to make a movie prompted WWF to pull the trigger on the WCW storyline, which was going to be more steadily built with more involved. |

Also, if this injury never occured things would have been very different with the Wrestlemania 18 main event and HHH's career.
He probably would have continued on in his heel capacity of 2001, rather than the superman face version of him in 2002, and then his power. Word was always that the injury gave him more clout in the long run. |

lol Hebner. Stephanie looked great around that time. Also, in that video I posted earlier of the 10 man tag.

Jericho vs Austin. The greatest fued that never happened. They had a fued and a few matches, but it was cut short by the Invasion. If not for that, it probably would have continued and maybe led to him putting Jericho over. That fuckin Invasion

Such a wonderfully put together finish. Props to HHH for being able to do his part in it too
