4. KENTA Was Doing The "Go 2 Sleep" and "Busaiku Knee Kick" Long Before CM Punk AND Daniel Bryan Ever Were
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu_7YTbwTqc One of the most exciting parts of KENTA's matches in Japan (and stateside) were his two major finishing maneuvers, the fireman's carry into a knee strike and flying knee. Of course, if you're a fan of World Wrestling Entertainment, you know the "Go 2 Sleep" as the "GTS," and it's one of the things you likely miss the most about watching CM Punk wrestle (alongside his other stolen from Japan finisher, the "Anaconda Vice" used by New Japan's Hiroyoshi Tenzan). As far as KENTA's "Busaiku Knee Kick?" Well, if you watched him win the World Heavyweight Championship at Summer Slam or defeat Kane at Extreme Rules, you're well acquainted with that maneuver, too.
