I don't know what's better, Ibushi's rolling Canadian Destroyer on himself, or Kenny Omega using Zangief moves.

I love Japan's sense of humor sometimes.

The best part is that they can have a "mystery partner from Japan" then just use a random inflatable pool toy (since DDT uses random blow-up dolls).

I wonder if they'd go for it since it's supposed to be a blow-up doll and all. Then again, they could probably find another inflatable person that isn't used for late night escapades.

Pretty much, if anyone wanted to remake their X-Division/Cruiserweight Division/Entire ROH roster they would just have to convince Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega, Prince Devitt and Yoshihiko to leave Japan.

I'd seen a clip of Kenny Omega doing the Zangief thing on it, but I never figured it was a match I just assumed some fan had thrown it into the ring and he had improvised or something.

DDT's often had non traditional competitors compete or them, especially for their 24/7 title.

Also, what makes that clip even better? Up to that point, the ladder actually had A TITLE DEFENCE. The challenger tried to punch it, it fell on him, and the ref counted the pin.

A baseball bat has also held the title, but lost it by KO when it got snapped in half.

You're really underselling the ladder's title defense, it's on the same show. It has about 10 competitors, and each tries at one point or another to land significant offence, but unsurprisingly the ladder no sells it. Watching Antonio Honda try and apply the octopus stretch to a ladder is golden.

I vaguely remember them having a bowl of rice as champ too, and retained the title through DQ when the challenger ate it.

I'm pretty sure IVP will be selling it when it becomes available. You should have supported New Japan and their venture into international iPPV when you had the chance though.

There was once a Rock, Paper, Scissor tournament where the title changed hands over 50 times in one night so President Ramu, a 12 year old girl could become the #666th champion.

[NOAH/Kenta Kobashi Update] Kenta Kobashi held a special press conference at the Pro Wrestling NOAH office to make it official that he will be holding his final match on May 11th. The show will be a joint production between Kobashi and NOAH.

This is an update to the original to original announcement that Kobashi would be looking to retire in February. I cannot remember off of the top of my head if I touched on it or not, I assume I did, but just in case I'll mention it again.
It seems that Kobashi will need a few more months than originally planned to prepare for his final match. He says that his neck is doing better, and that he wants to spend February to April training and preparing for the upcoming match. He wants to take his time in training and he is not looking to rush things.
Kobashi is lookng to retire in the Nippon Budokan as the hall means a lot to his career and means a lot to pro wrestling.
Kobashi has not decided on what will take place for his final match, but he looks to have the show be almost like a festival with more than just 1 match to look forward to seeing.
