In their all time classic GHC Title match (that began Kobashi’s Legendary “Reign of Fire”), it’s not a crazy bump or crazy sequence of moves that stuck out to me the most, it’s this moment. Kobashi, who has always shown deference and respect to Misawa (despite dropping him on his head several times in their match but that was par the course), uncharacteristically kicks Misawa in the head, in addition to raining down chops on Misawa’s neck; this causes Misawa to whip his head up at Kobashi in defiance and the crowd pops big time for it. In essence, if I were to show a clip to “explain” Misawa, I’d probably show this; something subtle like whipping his head up and staring a hole at Kobashi was enough to get the crowd whipped into a frenzy.   submitted by   /u/MrPuroresu42 [link]   [comments]
