Having a wrestler allowed to stiff people like that breaks my suspension of disbelief. Why wouldn't other wrestlers go all-out boxing instead of throwing elbows and chops?
@JKTube Go Shiozaki have some of the stiffest chops, but they are just that, chops. Same for Misawa's elbows.
Usually, seeing a wrestler throw a punch is a huge thing (is it even legal?), like Tenryu's Gu Punch. That guy Toba throw them like candy, and they look stiffer than anything you see even in Japan.
@danielfm: Honestly, the last example I can think of when a wrestler punching his opponent actually led to a DQ was the Tommy Dreamer/Mikey Whipwreck-Raven/Stevie Richards match at ECW Enter the Sandman, 5/13/95. This was the show where Shane Douglas introduced Bill Alfonso as the new Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission referee. Fonzie said that if anyone hit him or went through a table he would shut the show down. Raven/Richards won when Fonzie DQ'd Dreamer for using a closed fist.
@danielfm Well, actually closed fist punches are not legal, still usually there is no DQ for it. In this case Toba is wearing legit Boxing Gloves and this is DDT, so...
OMG Toba !!!!!
thanks DKN your my hero :)

@danielfm: Japanese wrestlers generally work stiffer than their American counterparts.
