Koji Kanemoto

Recommended Posts

Justin's reviews are turning me into a huge fan of Koji Kanemoto, I only have one match of his on tape, and it's when he was a young lion. Could someone give me some info on this guy? like favorite moves, good matches, wrestling style etc?

He fought Alex Wright at Starrcade '95, so you could get that.  But, I doubt that's one of his better matches since Alex Wright pretty much sucked.

Kanemoto during 1997-1999 was one of the best workers in the business, arguably the best.  He kind of reminds me of a smaller version of Nobuhiko Takada, with the kicks and the look he has.  He's a hell of a bumper, and has that prick attitude, which reminds me of Shawn Michaels.

 

I would suggest these Kanemoto matches:

 

2/16/97 vs. Liger (probably my favorite Kanemoto match ever)

6/1/97 vs. Liger (another great one)

6/5/97 vs. Samurai (spotfest, some incredible bumps)

6/3/98 vs. Wagner Jr. (technically awesome, Wagner puts on a wrestling clinic)

8/8/98 w/Wagner Jr. vs. Ohtani/Takaiwa (great juniors tag match...VQ on this is dark)

3/17/99 vs. Liger (not quite as good as their 1997 matches)

10/11/99 w/Minoru Tanaka vs. Ohtani/Takaiwa (incredible tag match, strong 1999 MOTYC)
