Joe vs. Kobashi - Samoa Joe v Kenta Kobashi
Atmosphere is electric with the crowd chanting “KO-BASH-EE†before the introductions. The pop for Kobashi is ENORMOUS. “KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EEâ€. Joe has his “this is my house†face on. Ring FILLS with streamers on Kobashi’s introduction and he looks totally freaked out. KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE. The atmosphere is ELECTRIC in that arena. It’s so loud. It sounds like 20,000 people. Joe leads in with a leg kick, which Kobashi shrugs off. They lock up and Kobashi is backed into the ropes AND JOE SLAPS HIM IN THE FACE. OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! The reaction on his face is priceless. KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE. Kobashi backs Joe up and CHOPS HIM IN THE THROAT. Joe gets in his face. Crowd is going INSANE. Another lock up. Kobashi goes to overpower. “This is awesomeâ€. Joe SUPLEXES out of the lock up. Kobashi no sells it so Joe shoulderblocks him out of the ring. ELBOW SUICIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! “JOE, JOE, JOE, JOEâ€. Kobashi shows the undercard how to sell by staying down until he’s fucking well picked up. Joe then assaults him on the mat and facelocks him. Kobashi is still recovering from the elbow suicida selling the importance of the move. He edges towards the ropes but Joe hooks up a Stretch Plum. OOOOOOOHHHHHHH. Kobashi gets the ropes. Joe starts chopping Kobashi and wouldn’t you know it he’s totally unimpressed. He looks pissed. CHOP, CHOP, CHOP, CHOP. Roderick Strong is in the back saying “damn that’s a hard chopâ€. Joe retorts with a jumping ENZIIIIIGURIIIIII. “JOE, JOE, JOE, JOEâ€. KAWADA KICKS MOTHERFUCKER!!!! NO SOLD. CHOPPING TO THE NECK. NO SOLD. KAWADA KICKS. MORE CHOPPING. JOE THROWS KNEES. Kobashi is down! “ROH, ROH, ROHâ€. CHOP, KICK AND KNEEDROP! Kobashi is selling like a motherfucker. He rolls outside holding his chest. Joe wants the Ole kick. He sets Kobashi up for it. OLE, OLE, OLE, OLE…WHAMMOOOOOOO! Joe just Ole Kicked Kenta Kobashi! And he wants another one! OLE, OLE, OLE, OLE….CHOP TO THE NECK!!! Joe is on the chair AND KOBASHI CHOPS HIM OUT OF IT OVER THE RAIL! Are you fucking kidding me? That was AWESOME. Kobashi with a DDT on the floor. Kobashi looks pissed off again. Back inside Kobashi continues his CHOPPING. If God could chop someone he’d do it through Kenta Kobashi’s body. He starts with the knees and the FINAL CHOP sets up Joe getting CHOPPED on the mat. CHOP MOTHERFUCKER! RUNNING JUMPING…CHOOOOOPPPP! I wonder if that was a rib on Misawa. Kobashi wants a suplex but Joe sandbags him and hits his own. He needs recovery time and that buys him some. Those chops are wearing him down. CHOPS, CHOPS, KICKS FROM JOE, CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOP WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! NO SOLD BY KOBASHI! CHOOOPPPPPPPPPPP!!!! Joe’s chest is FUCKED UP from this match. Kobashi with the Shades of Wilbur Snyder and he pushes Joe’s head down to make him his personal bitch. Joe falls out of it into the ropes. He’s not competing here, he’s surviving. He may be trading with Kobashi to prove a point but when he does he’s discovering that trading with Kobashi will get you fucked up. God, I love this match. Kobashi with the NECK CHOPPING. He goes for a spinning neck chop BLOCKED INTO THE STJOE! Running senton from Joe. Kobashi is pained. FUCKING VIOLENCE PARTY~~~~!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT THAT’S FUCKING AWESOME! Violence Party on Kobashi. He tries for a powerbomb but Kobashi won’t move so Joe kicks him in the face twice and POWERBOMBS HIM INTO THE FUCKING BUCKLES. “HOLY SHITâ€. Joe is doing a little more than surviving now. BOOOOOOOT SCRAAAAAAAAAAAAPES. Joe only hits the MUSCLEBUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA….for 2. Yeah, like Kobashi is lying down for Joe! Joe throws the KNEES and wants the CHOKE. No dice. POWERBOMB INTO THE STF!!! Joe is throwing EVERYTHING at Kobashi here. Just everything he has in his entire arsenal. Kobashi keeps breaking the hands to prevent the STF being on properly. So Joe grabs the arm too and hooks the CRIPPLER CROSSFACE. KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE. Kobashi goes with the other arm so Joe locks THAT one up too and Kobashi has to use his leg. Brilliant. The crowd gets a moment to catch it’s collective breath. Myself included. Joe sets up a charge as Kobashi struggles to his feet. Kobashi meets him with a chop to the throat and KOBASHIPLEX!! FUCK, YES! Joe bumps it All Japan style hoping to earn himself more matches in NOAH. Kobashi is up first and he’s looking angry. SPINNING NECK CHOP! CORNER CHOPS!!!! CROWD GOES TOTALLY INSANE. MORE CORNER CHOPS! Joe is reeling from each one and there are DOZENS. He’s taking them like a man to be fair. KOBASHI SPEEDS UP! FUCKIN’ A! I LOVE THIS MAN! DOUBLE CHOP. Joe’s chest is a MESS. This is beautiful. KOBASHIPLEX #2….JOE HEADDROPS IT…FOR 2. Ropes save Joe. He is FUCKED but he comes back with elbows. Kobashi grabs him in a sleeper. He knows Joe can’t have much left so he can probably put him out…SLEEPERPLEX!!!! FUCK, I LOVE THIS SHIT. Joe KICKS OUT! Kobashi is still walking around though and Joe is lying on the mat. Joe comes back with repeated slaps to the face. KOBASHI CHOPS HIS FUCKING ARM. SPINNING CHOP TO THE NECK. THREE FUCKING TIMES. LARIATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO. Kobashi gets the pin and wins the match. WOOOOOOOAH. KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE KO-BASH-EE. *****. It has flaws sure but I’ve not been that entertained in years. I loved the shit out of this match. Easily my favourite of the year just for the sheer violence of it. Plus Joe kinda hung with a legend. That has to be good for his stock.
