5. KENTA Has Wrestled Daniel Bryan On Five Separate Occasions
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MlbBwzy67s KENTA wrestled the leader of the "Yes Movement" as early as March 25, 2006, when alongside then-frequent junior heavyweight tag partner Naomichi Marufuji defeated Bryan teaming with now-TNA heavyweight star Samoa Joe. On June 17th of the same year, KENTA again defeated Bryan in a three-way dance involving Joe. On May 12, 2007, Bryan teamed with then-NOAH GHC Heavyweight Champion Takeshi Morishima to wrestle Nigel McGuinness (known for a time as TNA's Desmond Wolfe) and KENTA. They wrestled in their first American singles match against each other on June 23rd of that year, with KENTA being victorious. Finally, Bryan wrestled KENTA in Japan on October 13, 2008 for the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship in another tightly-contested, yet losing effort.
