Japanese Wrestling Legend Kenta Kobashi Retires *NOW WITH 10% MORE PLAGARISM!*
 
Kenta Kobashi had his retirement match the other night in Japan.

In attendance at the show were: Akira Taue
Hiroshi Hase
Kazuo Tokumitsu (NTV announcer)
Akira Fukuzawa (former NTV announcer)
Asuka Kuramochi (AKB48 member who is a wrestling fan)
Terry Ito (Japanese director)
Yoshihiko Noda (Former Japanese Prime Minister)
A High School teacher (Twitter guy didn't get name)
Mitsuo Momota
Masahiro Chono
Toshiaki Kawada
Stan Hansen
John Laurunitus

I think it's real cool that Kenta Kobashi was able to have this retirement match and even cooler that someone like Johnny Ace went back for it. I know Japanese wrestling isn't overly popular around here on TPWW, but Kenta Kobashi was a legend.

Absolute legend, one of my favorites. I love Japanese wrestling and Kenta is at the top of the list. He also inspired a lot of the current generation of wrestlers in the WWE and TNA.

Edit - Sorry, there's some Burning Hammers...Adamle pointed out that like a donkey I posted the link to a Kenta GTS video I was watching at the same time, as the topic reminded me of KENTA.

Nice video of burning hammers, bro!

name a time in American Wrestling History where two men can exchange one move for the better part of 5 minutes and it be over as fuck with the crowd.

I always liked Japanese style pro-wrestling. Has a more sport feel to it rather than using a match to tell a story (nothing wrong with that, though).

Shisen Kopf 05-12-2013 08:58 PM
RIP Jap guy.

Bad News Gertner 05-12-2013 09:07 PM
Nobody cares about some stupid rice fucker. What did he do in the WWE? Nothing. Therefore, he sucks.

Shisen Kopf 05-12-2013 09:09 PM
Yeah really. The best oriental chink from Japan in rasslin history is Gail Kim

Kobashi is truly one of the greatest ever. He made you root for him, not because he stopped to tussle the hair of a bright eyed child on the way to the ring or because he loved kittens, but because he was an honest competitor who always gave it his all in the ring. He was one of the few who managed to both have immensely, leap out of your chair exciting matches *and* make it look like legit sports contest.

Kobashi made you believe and I think that is the highest form of praise I can give. I hope he enjoys retirement, he has sure earned it.

A lot of 90s AJPW and SOME of NOAH was really great, but I honestly hope no generation of wrestlers goes that far with the dangerous spots again. Within a four year span, Kobashi went from being spunky and agile for a husky fella to a point where it was painful to watch him walk, let alone do moonsaults onto what was left of his knees.

I'm fairly certain WWE would have ruined Kobashi's run much like they did with Ultimo Dragon, Kenzo Suzuki, etc.

Ok cool, now how about you tell us your own thoughts on him?

You didn't look hard enough. I consulted the international rasslin archives of Asia database and it clearly states that on march 3, 1983 Bobby Jaggers was in japan and he fought that guy and beat him b/c USA #1. RIP.

:roll:

I happen to agree with what they had to say.

Corporate CockSnogger 05-12-2013 09:50 PM
And you just post them as your own words? Can you not sum up your own feelings? I could probably agree with a whole bunch of stuff other people post on various forums, on a variety of topics, but I'm not just going to copy and paste them from place to place because I don't know how to put forward my own thoughts.

Corporate CockSnogger 05-12-2013 09:51 PM
Lol you could have maybe even got away with just the first post as a general review of the guy that you liked and thought summed him up well, maybe. But it's that second post where you actually copy the "Part of me thinks..." section of it, clearly just trying to pass it off as your own words.

He doesn't have any original thoughts. Just shitty music videos.

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
I just wrote that.

That plagiarizing homo-slice. Dylan Staples would be mad if he found out.

Just include the link which gave you inspiration for what to post, and everything will be fine. We just don't want anyone coming across as a plagiarist.

Haha piss off, my arse you didn't. It's absolutely clear as day that's entirely what you intended to do.

Seth82 05-12-2013 10:01 PM
Kenta was perhaps one of the best wrestlers in the 90s. He and Misawa were doing stuff in japan that was amazing. His tag match that I posted earlier is a thing of legend and will always be my favorite.

I am surprised he lasted as long as he has. He took some nasty beatings in the 90s.

Corporate CockSnogger 05-12-2013 10:03 PM
Ok now you're just rewording other posts from that exact same forum. Hahaha.

Why would anyone do that in the first place? Imagine someone going to, I dunno, Rajah or "the craphole" or some other wrestling forum and quoting a post from here by #1-wwf-fan, James Steele, Bizarro King etc. What would that add to any discussion in the world, unless it was a long, well thought out article on the topic and someone actually said something along the lines of "Hey, I just came across this neat article which really sums up the demise of Sugar Shane Helms, check it out"

Seth intended to post those posts as his own thoughts on Kenta Kobashi. It's as clear as anything. Especially given Seth's track record for lying in an attempt to seem better than he is.

owenbrown 05-12-2013 10:11 PM
well now that he has been busted, what now?

A temporary ban?

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-12-2013 10:23 PM
Probation?

Shisen Kopf 05-12-2013 10:23 PM
Enough's enough and it's time for a change. Please pray about what you've done Seth.
