yeah, i agree. I just hope if he does return, they dont kick his knees in the first match back like Nagata was told to do.
Its just stupid doing that, even if it does make sense wrestling wise.
I know this is gonna sound cruel,but if your not in shape because your body is worn out then it's time to hang up the boots and leave a good legacy behind.

Kobashi's the one who should adapt to the state of his body and insist that these stupid angles where the opponent attacks his knees be dropped.
It's not as if he doesn't have a wide enough range and enough sense of psychology to work around his injury, even if that means he has to change his style completely. If he continues trying to be the old Kobashi, I think he'll never last more than a few matches at a time.
