I loved it. I'd say its Nigel's best match against someone other than Danielson.

I hope this doesn't mean he's retiring from the ring. Call me selfish, but I don't want Kobashi to retire any time soon. He's the reason I got into puro.

Yeah, but he's so fucked up.

He isn't that bad. He has put on some solid matches since he's returned.

Oh well, if he retires, he better get a retirement series of dream matches like Inoki had.

In the Dome!

Kobashi can still go, I'd hope for a final series of matches before he hangs up the boots.

Either Kobashi retires late 2011 or early 2012, or his body gives up on him and it ends up much worse later in 2012.

c'mon guys, Kobashi can barely walk. I know the guy is capable of at least 1 more epic match because he is crazy enough to do anything in the ring, but I don't see the need for him to do that.

Having said that, there's no talk about him retiring so far. I guess we will have more news or rumors tomorrow

My mind's boggling on who he could face for his retirement match. Mutoh? Has he faced him yet? I know they faced in a tag match, but not a singles.

**TelkEvolon** · 10-07-2011, 04:04 AM

I wouldn't mind seeing Kobashi vs Kawada. Could be a big spectacle.

**Seabs** · 10-07-2011, 05:33 AM

The obvious answer is Shiozaki.

The fact that he's working tags on more or less every show since he's returned is so stupid too. He really shouldn't be wrestling that much even in tags and it lessens the draw of a Kobashi match too. He should really only be doing the big shows when they have a meaningful match for him. Like 10 shows a year.
