Kenta Kobashi, certified legend.
Despite being retired for over ten years at this point, Kenta Kobashi is still considered to be one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. Over his 25 year career, Kobashi spent the majority of his time in Pro Wrestling NOAH and All Japan Pro Wrestling, winning championships such as the GHC World Heavyweight Championship and the Triple Crown Championship.
Kobashi recently visited Australia, and while he was there, it seems like he got up to some old shenanigans.
In a viral video that was posted to social media, Kobashi, who looks like he's still in his prime, gave australian wrestler Goran Nikolov the hardest chop he'll likely ever experience.
彼「please give me a chop.」

すべて僕に会う事を優先して来た(私がオーストラリア来る事がわかったのが半年前位)…その心意気を買って
僕「OK」
彼はTシャツを脱いで僕の前に立った。
この先どうなったのかは?ムービーを見て下さい、 pic.twitter.com/SVg5rzeUwG
In the post, Kobashi noted that Nikolov had prioritized meeting him at the show over six months before it had occured.
Nikolov currently competes in promotions such as Australian Wrestling Entertainment, Wrestling GO!, and the Australian Wrestling Federation.
Kobashi was recently in the news in September, after he appeared at a DDT show and unleashed a chop on Minoru Suzuki.
