BRINGING THE EXTREME...TO JAPAN!

What happens when two of the biggest, baddest dudes to ever do it step into the ring against one another? Well, let's find out together! On this episode of Watch This, we're going to take a look at this match between MIKE AWESOME & KENTA KOBASHI. Yes, this is a real match that happened. We're in the middle of 1999, Mike Awesome is about to take over ECW, and Kenta Kobashi is about to take over the world.

Thank you! I also found the missing audio from the “World is Watching” intro. I thought I left a comment with it but I couldn’t find it.

FWPJR.

Such a great match

HELL YEAH BOYS! What a fucking banger! I was just thinking the boys needed to watch some AJPW.

Holy shit what a match. I will NEVER understand how Vince, or any other major company, never had anything AWESOME for this man. He never disappoints. That across the ring Awesome Splash was one of the best I've ever seen. RIP Awesome.

No idea who Kenta is but good for him 👍

Kobashi vs Angel Baldie on the ECW excursion

Zoomer Mark Henry be like 'It's Sixual Seven'

I love how like, Kenta Kobashi was fighting up this entire match past the first 4-5 minutes. It makes Mike Awesome look like a beast (in the event he ever came back to AJPW), it sells Kobashi's resilience, AND it also sells Kobashi's finisher as death cause he got a burning lariat off at the last second and got the win by the skin of his teeth. Great fucking match all around.

Love how tag has just become what we call the shows on a tour because of cagematch. Took me forever to realise it's just the German for day.

Mason Sartin

I'm a simple man. I see Mike Awesome and Kenta Kobashi in the thumbnail, I Watch This.

Kenta is OBV my GOAT, so seeing this thumbnail got me rock fucking hard.

Kenta in ECW in the angle you were joking about would have actually altered my brain chemistry

Brother, I lost my phone at the movie theater last night and just now got it back. When I saw this match posted I dropped to my knees in the parking lot and fucking cried.

Jason Ephraim

Better than anything on All out last night

JackRyanForPope

Definitely need some Good Wrestling in my life right now, thank you guys! EDIT: I just cursed myself and TLW is gonna be fuckin' Thunder in Paradise or something

Rhys Withhisspoon

Happened multiple times. They have another match in 04 NOAH during Kobashis big GHC reign.

Jamie Mavado

BWO Kobashi with the Blue Crush would have changed lives

The boys talking about balloons Okada just makes me sad the one time I saw him live was at a RevPro show right in the middle of the balloons run and he lost to Zack Sabre Jr by roll up and never hit the Rainmaker...

Cali Jester

Mike Awesome is one of those what ifs for me. What if he didn't leave ECW? What if he didn't get punished in WCW for Hogan? Etc.
