Guest Breetai Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 In a discussion a while ago about which move was the most dangerous the Burning Hammer was being discussed, and I could've sworn that someone said that the move had only been done 3 or 4 times. Is this correct or am I misremembering? Also, about how often has the TD 91 been busted out?
Guest Dace59 Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 Burningham Hammer has only been done... 3 times was it? By KK himself. TD'91 has been used a lot more I'm sure.
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 Only 3 times... were they all on Misawa? I've seen him do it twice, both times on Misawa.
Chunk Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 Ive seen Towel Boy take it twice, so that must be WAY off. ChUnK!
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 I think he meant Kenta Kobashi himself has only done it three times. Unless I'm thinking of the wrong Towel Boy, and Kobashi did it to him twice.
Guest Black Tiger Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 Kobashi did it to Misawa to win the AJPW tag titles in Ocotber of 1999, I think the 2nd time was in a six man tag match, but don't quote me on that. The last time was when he did it to beat Akiyama a the NOAH 12/23/00 PPV
Guest Grenouille Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 I got the dates from Stuart's section on Kobashi, here you go... 10/24/98 @ Tokyo Korakuen Hall Kenta Kobashi & Jinsei Shinzaki beat Mitsuharu Misawa & Takao Omori (19:07) when Kobashi used the Burning Hammer on Misawa. 10/23/99 @ Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium AJPW World Tag Team Title: Kenta Kobashi & Jun Akiyama beat Mitsuharu Misawa & Yoshinari Ogawa © (27:25) when Kobashi used the Burning Hammer on Misawa to become the 40th champions. NOAH "GRAND VOYAGE", 12/23/00 Kenta Kobashi beat Jun Akiyama (35:58) with the Burning Hammer.
EL DANDY~! Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 TD 91 has actually approached bastardizing as a death move now. Misawa never really busted it out that often, but now, since puro is influencing a lot of the Indies, people use that as a finish, but people kick out. TD 91 when used by Misawa had a VERY small chance of a kick out...
Guest wolverine Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 How the Hell does All Japan psychology play into indy wrestling?
Guest Sandman9000 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 It doesn't, but since almost crippling a person draws a pop, the moves are used.
EL DANDY~! Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 See...indy guys watch these foreign tapes and see these moves like the Vertebreaker and the Tiger Driver 91 and the Dangerous Backdrop and all these other moves and they just go...OH MY GAWD!!! I'll be the most over guy if I use this as the finisher! In retrospect, while they look cool...they should also be aware that most of those moves are pulled out in only a last resort...
Guest wolverine Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 Why should they be "aware"? The people they play to either wouldn't know, or probably don't give a shit about that kind of stuff, which is why AJ psych is irrelevant.
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 As an add-on to the original question... Is it true that Misawa had trouble walking, or something, for like, a week after he took the move?
EL DANDY~! Posted January 21, 2003 Report Posted January 21, 2003 Both times he took the move, Misawa got a stinger. And a stinger FUCKING SUCKS man...trust me.
Chunk Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 Both times he took the move, Misawa got a stinger. And a stinger FUCKING SUCKS man...trust me. Whats a stinger? Perhaps its an american term? ChUnK!
Guest NoSelfWorth Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 It's when the neck gets jarred. It's what happened to Steve Austin at SummerSlam '97.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 Austin broke his neck. A stinger is pinching a nerve in your neck, resulting in pain, shorter range of motion, and a whole bunch of other stuff that hurts.
Guest cynicalprofit Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 Just cause you can copy a move doesnt mean you can get over. But no indy guys ever seem to understand that.

Chunk Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 Oh right, so its sort of like a trapped nerve. Cynical Profit -> Quadruple post, nice work my man ! ChUnK!
