Kobashi Returns!

Kenta Kobashi made his in ring return to puroresu last night after being out for over a year battling and winning a fight against cancer. He teamed with his good friend Yoshihiro Takayama against Mitsuharu Misawa & Jun Akiyama in a match that was originally booked to be Takayama's return match a year ago, but didn't happen because of Kobashi's illness. Kobashi dropped the fall in his return against Misawa, but make no mistake about it, KOBASHI IS BACK!!!
