I would not say Kobashi was indy. Kobashi was one of the main names in wrestling of his era. He was a superstar in Japan of Ric Flair's level.

Just to wade in on the argument. Put simply ppl watch WWE/TNA as its easy to switch on the tv and its there. Its not ppl being ignorant but the indies aren't as accessible. I would gladly watch Japanese wrestling if it was readily available on tv and dvd but it isn't. Yes i could watch it on the internet but smaller screen, i have to search specifically for the event, matches I want which knowing jack about means i probs wade in on something garbage. Its a shame but thats why WWE has so many viewers and complainers its fans like me who just dont have the time to search for the quality indy work.

However on topic have seen the odd match of this guy and he was excellent.

You want good indy/Puro (Japanese). Talk to me or seabs and we will point you in the right direction.

So glad to see Kobashi left on a high note. Thank God he didn't end up like poor Misawa-san. Damn good final match for 'Bashi, spectacular. But this is not the end of an era, not yet. It will be once Akira Taue retires in December.

Kobashi was a fantastic wrestler. Like, seriously fantastic. Not only he worked a high-level physical style, but he was also one charismatic son of a gun, one of the greatest main event underdogs in pro-graps history. His facial expressions were unparalleled, they were great storytelling tools. Arguably the greatest collection of ****+ matches too. Classic after classic after classic. But also, he is one of the biggest draws in pro-wrestling history, he was the part of the crew that was sold out Budokan almost 60 times in a row back in the 90s, he was doing it almost single-handedly in NOAH too. He brought NOAH to the Tokyo Dome. His GHC title reign was the best in the lst decade, and brought numerous sellouts and big ratings on Japans largest network. Kobashi was bigger than life. And still is. Just look at the names that showed up for his retirement. Can't be happier for Kobashi, and that was a great way to say goodbye.

Please stay around, fucking agreed 100 times over. Even his debut run was perfection with the huge losing streak showing grit to drive through. He's literally the perfect entry guy into Puro IMO, he brings you into the difference via stories which speak a universal language. He's got the look which American audiences are used to and it get's easy to see him perform, I'd say Misawa's match list was better but I class Misawa as the greatest ever but let's be honest it's 1A and 1B isn't it?

Where the hell did I say that, I said it's idiotic to continue to watch shows which don't entertain you whilst the options are out there.

"It's idiotic, we're apparently the smart ones yet continue to watch products which no longer entertain us."


How you've mis-interpreted it into that I'll never know.

.......Bolded by you to ensure people take your quote seriously.

I just never have been interested in it, i probably would if i was interested in the language/writing style, but i watch WWE for the community base here mostly, TNA i really do enjoy. Actually honestly, i do enjoy a lot of WWE, i just look up baseball stuff or try to find a way to GPS where you live when things come on that i'm uninterested in.

Here's the match btw.

When I first saw the match the other day, and the announcer, announcing Kobashi...I nearly cried seeing all the streamers in the ring.

 

[Roray]

Does anyone know if there's a comp. of him on IVPVideos or somewhere to download a custom made one? I've only seen a few of his matches on streams with random wrestling all day and Joe vs. Kobashi, of course.
