Before I started watching japanese Wrestling I never understood why a Clothesline/Lariat could be a Finisher... But thanks to Misawa, Kawada and all the others, I love to see Strike Moves such as the Uraken, The Rolling Elbow or even an good ol Western Lariat by Stan Hansen.

BTW: This is one tough SOB Elbow Miswa was throwing there. RIP Misawa, you will be truly missed down here!!!

There will never be another man or woman to throw a stiffer elbow than that.

R.I.P. Misawa

kawadas face told the story...ohh.. fuck i cant feel my face!!

@ESCAPEDCONVICT01 that elbow wasn't fake. Kawada fucking felt that. He certainly sold it legitimately as a real knockout blow but Puro style never holds back when it comes to strikes.

@ESCAPEDCONVICT01 its pro wrestling, of course its fake. but in japan they do real stuff like this in the ring.

@Wurzelknecht Very true, but it's something Jake the Snake taught him in training.

@ZehFiend If stiffness is used to compensate for lack of skills then I agree. But that's not the case with Misawa and Kawada, two of the best the world has ever seen (they still hold the record for having the most and second most 5*matches in their career). But aside from that...this statement about "good wrestling" came from Raven? No offence but that sure sounds odd coming from a guy who's whole career consisted of him hitting people with chairs, brawling in the crowd and hitting random DDTs.

@ZehFiend In Japan it's different. The big guys like Misawa work stiff because they are willing to get stiffed in return. It's a show of respect for the other wrestler. When they get into the ring they are going to give all they have. The really dangerous spots as suplexes and drivers are also stiffed, but they are skilled enough to make them look devastating while still protecting the reveiver.

[ZehFiend]

As raven would say, working stiff is the exact opposite of good wrestling. But to each his own.

[OKRpepsi]

I love the fact that these guys like Misawa,Kawada and Kobashi gets to ring and simply fucks everybody up with these moves.

[ESCAPEDCONVICT01]

is this fake? if not.... then why the hell did that guy not have his hands up?!
