Kobashi's retirement show is closing in on us.

[seabs]

The final chapter in one of the most legendary careers in wrestling finally has a date, and that date is May 11th at the historic Nippon Budokan.

All time great, Kenta Kobashi held a special press meeting today to announce his final event, titled Final Burning will take place in May and Kobashi himself will be stepping into the ring one last time. No opponent is set yet but Kobashi is taking his training very serious and isn’t rushing his rehab. The event will be a co-promotion between the icon himself and NOAH.

Quite possibly my favorite wrestler ever, I loved his matches with Misawa, Joe and Steve Williams amongst others.

The poster for the event.

To finish this up I'll just post some of my personal favorites matches.

My #3 fav Japanese wrestler behind Suzuki and Takayama.

Will be watching this, even though I don't give a fuck about NOAH anymore. I only care about NJPW, but I'll make an exception here b/c it is the legendary one.
