Last time I covered King's Road, we ended on Tsuruta-gun vs. NGA from 19.10.90. Here's the first match from 1991, Kawada vs. Taue from the 15th of January.

Depending on what I have time for, you've got three or more King's Road matches coming up, and '91 is really when the rivalries between the pillars ramp up. There's some really good stuff coming up!

Aside from Kobashi getting his ass beat for like 5 years straight, kek.
But that is what helped him become the best babyface arguably ever.

Another thing I really hope to highlight with this is how great Taue was. He's often overlooked, which is understandable considering who his peers were, but his heel work is amazing.
>Aside from Kobashi getting his ass beat for like 5 years straight, kek.
It's interesting how torn people seem to be on that. I love the loss streak, personally. It makes his triumphs electrifying and really cemented him as the best underdog ever before his massive wins started happening.

I just think it went on too long, still think it's one of the greatest booking ideas ever.

Just that Kobashi was ready a couple of years before they pulled the trigger on him.

That's a fair point. It makes me wonder how people felt about it as it was going on. Seeing how Baba was willing to give Misawa his big win earlier than what was planned due to the crowd reactions, maybe he wanted to make sure the booking for Kobashi stayed the way he'd originally planned.

Baba was a great booker, can't say a word against him but the Kobashi thing is the one point where I'd disagree a little. And only just a little.

He still did a great job by walking the line and not burying Kobashi despite his record. He was having great matches and giving stellar efforts in losses which is the key to booking someone like that without killing them for good.

Truly a testament to how good Baba was as a booker and Kobashi as a wrestler. There's no point in that loss streak, at least none that I am familiar with, where it feels like Kobashi is done fighting. Even those losses where he gets brutalized by Hansen almost bell to bell, there's a moment where he gets the upper hand, hits a big move or figures out a new trick that almost gives him the win. Him being the greatest seller of all time certainly helps too.

It's impossible for me to pick a favorite pillar, but on most days I'd say it's Kobashi. There sadly won't be any Kobashi webms this thread in all likelihood, at least not any fresh ones, but I could always post some old ones later if I have time.

/osg/ isnt up right now but ill drop the Kings road pastebin for anon and others to dig through. I know people like to joke about Jumbo and how he was a Janetty to Tenryu but his feud with the pillars in the early 90's was so underrated with how it helped propel them to the main event since he still had a bunch of cred with the crowd that beating him ment something.

I'm 95% sure the Jumboetty pasta is a meme, and the other 5% that it's a schizo. Jumbo's obviously fantastic. I'd probably pick Tenryu too if I had to, but there's no Janetty between them. He practically made the new generation on his own.

I think what hurt him was his look. Its not like Jumbo moved around gracefully all the time. Something about the red boots with the socks sticking out along with the red trunks. Then his big poofy hair when he was younger, its not a very intimidating look and he didn't have the natural charisma to offset it like a Kobashi in his tangerine orange days when he was still younger. Probably wouldn't of changed anything but i wonder if him being in the classic black would've helped at all in that regard.

Next up, partially because the match I wanted (Misawa & Kawada vs. Williams & Gordy 26.02.1991) isn't anywhere online as far as I can tell, and partially because I need to buy myself some time to get the next match done, is Hansen vs. Williams from 01.09.1990. It feels strange to post this without posting their match that preceeded it, but I'll make sure to get that for next week.

Next up is Misawa vs. Hansen from the 1991 Champion Carnival. Unfortunately I couldn't find the full thing, but the clips are enough to make it worthwhile.
It's also worth noting that this happens after the first singles match between Jumbo and Kawada, which I have already webm'd.

He's definitely rated by Japanese fans for his dropkicks. It was more or less his most spammed signature move when he was Tiger Mask. Misawa would do like 5 dropkicks in a row on a guy, it was pretty kino

And yeah, the intensity is why Misawa was a star. He was good looking (or so the ladies thought anyway), had a very stoic and put-together demeanor, but had a crazy intensity in the ring. That dichotomy is what Misawa is all about as a personality.
