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

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.

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