so young!

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

@Whistlebeard Actually, losing his first 63 singles matches.

Kobashi's really small there, but Baba did have a keen eye for greatness!

I'm going to upload of of Misawa's early matches before he even became Tiger Mask. He's wearing red trunks!!!

[manjiimortal]

Kobashi before greatness, even here he didn't look bad, just somewhat green.

[Jarsfan1997]

But somewhere between here and there you can tell the influence that western pro wrestling had, he shot up in his muscular size, well his chest and arms anyway.

[MauriceSometimes]

A good 50 lbs lighter and sporting a much more buzzed haircut, wearing the good old royal blue rookie tights and white boots combination, here before you stands the greatest heavyweight wrestler in the world today.

[subfighter316]

Wow, that was the WRESTLING GOD when he was young. I often forget that Kobashi was once Mortal.

[MMercM]

Agreed. It adds more to the matches, makes them better, not that any puro needs help being great.

[xpostspikex]

But that`s what every Rookie has to go through.

I think it`s very rare in Japanese Wrestling,that there is some one,with few experience going straight to the Top.

[Sakura35]

worst match ever

[narkfish]

you're a stupid cunt

[markbrennen]

I never would've recognized Kobashi had I not been told that was him. He put on a LOT of muscle over the years following that. And seeing his matches from this year, he's as big as ever. He's huge compared to Fuji and KENTA.

[CTback]

I recognize that grimace anywhere.

[jakx1115]

WOW THATS OLD SKOOL, REALLY OLD SKOOL
