************
The last show before the Dome!!! Akiyama nor Kobashi getting a direct win. Kanemaru & Marufuji scoring pinfalls before their title defenses. Why would Donovan Morgan job to Shiro Koshinaka. The guy is too old and Morgan is too good.

Well we all know about Misawa's dislike for gaijins and I think Koshinaka become buddy buddy with Misawa.

[Haiku Warrior]

Good points. But the flying hip attack? Come on!

[edgehead1984]

I agree, getting hit with your opponent's derriere doesn't constitute a knockout blow.

[Haiku Warrior]

Unless it's Rikishi (_|_)

[edgehead1984]

LMAO, Imagine getting hit with rikishi's derriere off the top rope...oh wait that's the banzai drop...

[Luds]

[Pheonix_Chi25]

Actually it's not his butt, it's the hip LOL

[edgehead1984]

What's the difference????

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

I think Koshinaka become buddy buddy with Misawa.

Always was, as far as I know.
