What's the story behind Kenta Kobashi vs Kensuke Sasaki in NOAH Destiny 2005? I know it's a big match in one of NOAH's biggest shows ever, but what was the setup for the match?

Dream match vs All Japan/NOAH star and a NJPW star and also battle of the Chop! (also to crush any remaining hope of Riki-oh getting over!)

this is extremely stupid but I can't stop thinking about it: has there ever been a title vs title match where - somehow - both titles changed hands? I feel like some comedy indie or DDT or something must have done something like this. or TNA at its worst, maybe

I know this isn't exactly what you mean, but there was the triple threat at WM2000 where Angle lost the European title to Jericho and the IC title to Benoit.

Both had a killer 2004 with Kensuke being a freelancer & running around in the indies (winning the Tokyo Sports MVP) and Kobashi winning the Best Bout award (vs Akiyama) while being on his absolute champion run. It was a dream match between two big guys who had been the talk of the industry. Neither Sasaki or Kobashi commented before the match, Sasaki opting for "no comment" & Kobashi saying that he'll say his peace after the match is done.

Wrestling question: what's the worst thing that happened to you when you completely disregarded the WWF's warnings and tried this at home or school. I got banned from a friend's house for giving him a fame asser through an expensive coffee table and breaking his nose. He gave me a receipt years later when he gave me a dominator on a concrete patio and dropped me right on my head. Turns out those mats on the outside are there for a reason and I was out long enough that parents had to be called. thankfully I must have had a springy neck like rvd because im not currently posting this on one of those computers you operate with your eyes. To this day I think the only people in history who have actually taken the dominator are me and crash holly

The worst thing I ever did deliberately was break a lamp with my brother's feet when I was picking up him up powerbomb style, though I didn't actually slam him. Years later, a probably mentally ill friend of mine randomly decided to tackle me off of the stage in our high school auditorium. I limped for days and I'm still amazed it wasn't worse. I have seen both a Sling Blade and a Canadian Destroyer pulled off more-or-less by accident in rugby games, swear to God.

We did a bunch of backyard wrestling in high school and I think the worst that happened was getting my back all scraped up when we did stuff with thumbtacks (we got very obsessed with King of the Death Match 1995) and then some undiagnosed back pain after doing stuff with ladders. It went away eventually but was pretty bad for a week or so. Otherwise, we all escaped pretty unscathed from injury except for one time we let a new kid join and he was very clumsy and not athletic and he landed on someone's ribs/chest. Nothing got broken but I think they at least went to get checked out because of it. The rest of us weren't super athletic either, but I think we were familiar enough with wrestling and careful enough that the only injuries we suffered from each other were expected bumps and bruises.

When I was in the 6th grade my friend and I were doing the spot where you grab someone by the back of the head and slam it into the turnbuckle over and over but on a window sill. He did great never actually hitting it. When I was trying to do it I went too hard and just straight up headbutted the sill. I fell backwards and my eyes clenched shut and I teared up but I just really didnt want to cry and I remember being pretty proud of myself when I didn't. Then I heard a bunch of girls screaming but I didn't know why because my eyes were still shut. When I opened them and looked down my shirt and pants were covered in blood and apparently half my face too. Only took 3 stiches for all that blood lol. My teacher started yelling at my friend and I had to explain to her that he didn't do anything it was really me.

My tag-team partner helpfully got me out of a full nelson by spearing me head first in the knee and hyper-extending it and giving me arthritis in it, in high school.

Nothing severe with trampoline wrestling, but I let me friend put me in the lion tamer once and that was not a pleasant experience. I can see why less flexible people just take the walls of jericho instead.

If I have learned anything after becoming a wrestling fan in my 30s, it's that: 1. Every single man in my age group watched wrestling when they were growing up and 2. They all tried the moves and injured themselves/their friends

Did a powerbomb to my friend on a trampoline, he landed safely and was fine. I on the other hand managed to get double bounced by this off the trampoline landing on my back with the wind knocked out of me.

Then we tried a Tiger Driver and well that hurt a little bit trying to lift him. He was fine and we realized that you needed a little bit more cooperation for something like that and went back to trying to be Scott Norton.

I was really into submissions and I almost broke a friend's back turning him over during a boston crab. They weren't part of our friend group, but another set of kids at our school got suspended for breaking a cafeteria table doing a diamond cutter on top of it.

The best thing about having kids that are between two and six years old is that it's really really easy to powerbomb them. It's great fun. They love it, too.

I snuck up on a friend and gave him a running bull dog in middle school. In my memory of the moment he sorta no sold it but later I found out his gums got all cut up because of his braces and my dad took me to his house to apologize :[ Also in middle school on the last day of 8th grade some kid got pressured (I assume) to fight me at our bus stop and I gave him a kick to the gut followed by a DDT. It was the last day of school so nothing ever became of it, though for some reason I vaguely recall like an investigator or someone pretending to be one calling my house and asking me personally about what happened (it was self defense!). Somewhat related, I was a (folk style) wrestler in high school and senior year was one of the captains so I got to help put together our team's skit for a winter sports kick off assembly. I suggested we have a regular match which I would ref, but at some point one of our other teammates would come out and interrupt it, hitting a participant in the back with a chair. When I protested, he gave me a powerbomb on the mat to end the skit. Went over great in the room, though my coach after told us something like, "in 5 minutes you destroyed the image of wrestling we're always fighting against." Grendels Dad posted:The best thing about having kids that are between two and six years old is that it's really really easy to powerbomb them. It's great fun.
