4 Ups & 3 Downs From NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 15 (Night 2)

Ups...

4. Jeff Cobb Becomes A Best-In-The-World-Level Talent

Intense viagra-c*ck hard bastard alpha sh*t with as much machismo spraying as sweat, this totally ruled out of the blocks.

After a let's-f*cking-go opening phase, Shingo Takagi went for an early pin and Jeff Cobb threw him off his body at one and sent him sprawling across the entire breadth of the ring. Good God almighty this was so awesome so instantly and they maintained that pace and brutality for 23 insane, physically impossible minutes.

What a spot. It put over the idea that neither man could f*ck around, and here, "f*cking around" still meant hitting the opponent really, really hard. Cobb hit an Okada-level dropkick to, in about a minute and a half, get himself over as a total and utter best-in-the-world-calibre beast. That's before he launched Shingo into out of friggin' space with an overhead belly-to-belly on the outside.

Cobb took a giant of a man and threw him around at his will. These weren't wrestling moves so much as special effects. Shingo was unreal too, unleashing a dead-lift suplex on Jeff Cobb.

Mind-blowing. Phenomenal. Out of this world. How didn't they destroy Tokyo itself with this epic hoss battle?

This was a match that the very best in the world will do very well to better in 2021, and Cobb joined their ranks today.
