KaShin's title reign

[Ganon KaShin]

Would someone be able to tell me Kendo KaShin's most recent matches since before he went AWOL? I haven't been keeping up in the past few months and have found it difficult to find out about his recent title defences and non-title match ups in AJPW... I would appreciate an impartial response, as their appears to be a lot of anti KaShin members here.......

THey should do something with their juniors... anything!

[Ganon KaShin]

I was quite pleased with Kendo KaShin's title reign, I thought it gave the title a lot of creibilty with such a solid reign and a solid worker, but his disappearance......is disappointing to say the least...Mind you I seem to be the worlds only KaShin fan....Oh well.

Mind you I seem to be the worlds only KaShin fan

You might just be right about being KaShin's only fan.... not that I have anything against the guy, just never really dug any of his matches outside of a few with Lyger and Tanaka (and having good matches with them isn't exactly saying much). What's the story on him going AWOL anyway? Any news on that?

[Pheonix_Chi25]

I still think Ka Shin is trying to leave All Japan and either go back to New Japan or NOAH or Z-1 or somewhere

[Ganon KaShin]

Going to New Japan at the present time wouldn't exactly be a safe investment now would it? But popping up in time for NOAH's first Tokio Dome show? That'd be a safe investment

I'm a fan of Kashin's style, I can understand how few could have the patience for it, it's very paced, specific and methodical.....some might say like Triple H, in some repects. But he seems to me to be focused, learning more and more as he goes on, and to be wary of his own position.

He could pop up in the WWE for the Cruiserweight open at Wrestlemania

[edgehead1984]

That is a possibility especially considering his dark match that he had earlier.

I wonder if Vince would push him as much as Mutoh did...

Probably not as Vince doesn't like anyonw who isn't 6'6''!

[edgehead1984]

or japanese wrestlers for that matter...

[Pheonix_Chi25]

Totally Edge, look at the wayhe's treating Ultimo Dragon

[Luds]

Well neing a cruiserweight AND Japanese! Those are the worst...

[Ganon KaShin]

Keep in mind the at my time of writing the current WWE Champion is 5'9"

Not to say that I think he would give KaShin a push in any manner whatsoever...

Be a nice, different change though...
