13 years ago today. Samoa Joe vs Kenta Kobashi

[SubZeroDegrees]

The pop for Kobashi was

He actually thought the crowd wouldn't recognize him.

The match was great.

[WaveMolecules]

I thought the match was overrated considering the hype it gets. It was good absolutely but not as great as people make it out to be imo

 

[Larry]

ROH was so great at this time


The CZW feud, the NOAH and Dragon Gate cross promotion matches, Homicide and Colt Cabana trying to kill eachother, whole crowd throwing toilet paper at Jimmy Rave


That era is what got me into Indy wrestlIng

 

[krackdagawd]

prob my favorite entrance next to CM Gawd in the Chi and after hearing that story that Kobashi was gonna do some Mr Fuji type character because he thought no one would recognize him I get at the entrance. Great match.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Joe was truly a prodigy in the business. Dude just showed up out of the blue one day and within 2 years he was one of the best wrestlers on the planet

 

[Jmare007]

GOAT squash match
