i'm waaaaay too exhausted to go on a long rant on this match, and how amazing it was, but i will preface my brief thoughts by saying i am not a japanese wrestling fan, i watch very little of it, and the only time i know someone is supposed to be good is because i hear about this guy on the internet. and even then, i'm not motivated enough to download a match or buy a DVD.

that being said, last night in Manhattan, i had the chance to witness what may be the greatest match in my 25+ years of being a wrestling fan. i can't put into words how amazing, how beautiful, how brutal, and how...f*ck, words can't do it - just how incredible the Samoa Joe vs. Kenta Kobashi match was.

it was the stiffest match of slaps, chops, back bumps, head bumps, neck bumps, and god, you name it, i have ever witness. screw Sabu through a table or New Jack off a balcony. no disrespect to them, but what Joe and Kobashi put each other through is numbing. two gigantic men, just killing each other. chests PURPLE from all the chops and strikes. sides bleeding and bruised from the kicks.

the crowd was on their feet the entire time. the other wrestlers were in the balcony watching, going nuts themselves. Roderick Strong was dancing and strutting when it was over. Jame Gibson (Noble) almost fell off the balcony he was cheering so passionately.

Great One may have been there. i don't know, because the crowd was so think. hopefully he'll make it down to Philly tonight, as the main event it Kobashi and Homicide vs. Joe and Low Ki. Mike D - you oughta think about going. a 6 pm bell time at the philadelphia armory (rohwrestling.com if need an address and stuff)

it's going to be packed and crazy tonight too. i don't know if the energy can duplicate what happened last night in that hotel ballroom in manhattan, but damn, i'm sorry, every wrestling fan in the area should get there tonight. man.

I was wondering what was so great about Kobashi... he's always rated at the very top of the all "best wrestlers in the world" type charts and have never actually seen them. Sounds like he amazing. We know Samoa Joe IS PRO WRESTLING.

I missed both shows Tree as I was at Fenway all weekend and just got back. I was gonna drive from Boston direct to Philly without even going home to see this but Sunday morning we came into some free tickets for Sunday's game so we took the opportunity up.

thats a couple of goliath's going at it pretty tough, very nice. I can almost hear the chops! :)

I've always wondered how to post pictures... is there a simple html format for that?
