All Seven Burning Hammers

Probably one of the more popular montages of the past, and one that isn't done very often at all. This is a comprehensive look at every time Kenta Kobashi has unleashed the Burning Hammer. As with Misawa and the TD '91, this wasn't created by Kobashi, but Kobashi has certainly perfected it into a weapon of mass devastation. As the title indicates, Kobashi has only used the move a total of seven times against four opponents.

Would that first one be considered a inverted/reverse death valley driver (or possibly bomb)?

Not sure. I know one of my CAWs used a similar move as a finisher and I'm pretty sure it was labered as that.

[TheSuicidalDragon]

Inverted DVB, to be exact.

[Tmasters123]

Has Kobashi always been a face ?

[TheSuicidalDragon]

For the most part, yes. He's worked heelish in the past, but I don't think he's ever been full blown heel.

[LoreShocks]

kenta kick out of the burning hammer????

[TheSuicidalDragon]

Nope.

BURNINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG­GGGGG HAMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[TheSuicidalDragon]

His move is actually more of a Torture Rack DDT.

[StarspawnOfCthulhu]

@NBMTensai

He didn`t.

Kyoko Inoue did.

@TheSuicidalDragon

Like You Said yourself In Your Kobashi Chronicle Video SD: "No one Get's up From The Burning Hammer... No one!"

[NBMTensai]

Change the description, because Kobashi indeed innovated the Inverted Death Valley Driver

[TheeBurchill]

I love how the crowd goes nuts in anticipation, even during the setup of the move. 

[Ghouse666]

the wrist clutch version actually looks safer to perform for some reason.

@Jikk Perry Saturn in WCW called it the DVD and that is where your "Translation error" comes from. The industry just went with what he called it instead of sticking with Kenta's DVB name.

@cld1472

The industry didn't choose anything, they just suck ass at translating wrestler, and move names from overseas. It has, and will always be the Death Valley Bomb.

[cld1472]

@TheSuicidalDragon While you are right in theory that its a Death Valley Bomb and not Death Valley Driver... the industry choose Driver over Bomb for the naming process... Bomb sounded better but I guess DVD is easier to say the DVB
