Vyce 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2005 I haven't watched much (which is to say, any) puro from 2004 / 2005, so I have to ask, has Kojima stepped it up as a worker? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering how limited the talent roster is in AJ compared to NJ and NOAH, Kojima is as good as he was few years ago. With the title win and hopefully big star matches he will be motivated again to do his best in the ring. Best puro news I've heard in a long long while.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but he's probably keeping the Triple Crown warm for Tenzan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SinToxic 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2005 I'll take that probability and douse it in some hope. The match could always end in a draw or Tenzan could always end up on the downcycle (something he is accustomed to) and blame it on not being 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
