Kenta Kobashi's health...
americamamushi | Posted on 07/01/06 at 11:50:44 Cut'n'pasted from 411mania.com/wrestling A shocking announcement was made today by NOAH President Mitsuharu Misawa. Misawa announced that Kenta Kobashi would undergo medical treatment to remove a renal tumor (kidney cancer). The tumor was discovered during a routine medical check-up. Medical consultation is currently taking place. There is some concern that the tumor could be malignant. Obviously his participation in the "dream" tag match, which was Yoshihiro Takayama vs. Jun Akiyama & Misawa on 7/16 at Nippon Budokan is now canceled.Hopefully the tumor is benign and he'll be back to kesigiri chopping the hell out of people in no time. |
suicidalbynature | Posted on 08/18/06 at 23:41:44 Hoepfully he is doing better. I just found this gem on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5mkV6dmjp4 Do yourselves a favor and go to about the 9 minute mark and watch the 5 minute, 184 chop battle extravaganza that takes place. I am in awe. |
Carlzilla | Posted on 08/19/06 at 01:14:48 That chop battle is the shit. I have that event on DVD. It's a highly recomended event, the whole thing is awesome. Also, Kobashi's surgery was successful and they are expecting him to return to the ring sooner rather than later. |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 08/19/06 at 01:16:26 Out of curosity, how old are Kobashi and Sasuki now? |
Carlzilla | Posted on 08/19/06 at 01:21:13 Kensuke just turned 40 this year, and Kobashi is 39. |

Vertigo | Posted on 07/12/07 at 20:16:10 Just thinking about hearing "WHAT" after every chop makes me giggle a bit. It's a good thing it didn't happen for real. |
