This is why Kawada's the best of the four pillars to me. Taue's a non-issue, but my god do Kobashi and Misawa love forgetting that they've just gotten obliterated.

And if that is of interest, there is much more to learn in Kim Justice's 4 part documentary largely focusing on Misawa and Kawada's rivalry, including a series of better than perfect matches and utterly ridiculous head drops.

do you ever see Taichi use Kawada's stretch plum and immediately want to cry until you throw up?

Did you know: Toshiaki Kawada's nickname of "Dangerous K" did not help Kawada's popularity in the USA due to consumer's mistaken belief that he was an extremely unhealthy breakfast cereal.

It's weird to call a pro wrestling match Striker Vs Grappler, but this one kinda is. Frye takes on a boxer role, while Kawada's really unique in that he portrays a grappler whose only striking knowledge is kicks. It's so odd and it works so well!

No it's Kawada's move. It's not a version of anything. Eddie didn't name it. Kawada did.
I'm not expecting Tony to know any of this (Nigel I am tbh but even still) but they should have it written down in fron of them if they don't know. It shouldn't be getting yelled into their ear on the fly.

That was Kawada’s submission. None of the other pillars had a dedicated submission and that’s what made him stand out.

Pillar most unlikely to understand how to flirt? Kawada's the obvious answer
Toshiaki Kawada meets singer and actress Akiko Ikuina, whose fan he was. She congratulates him on winning the Worlds Tag Team Title.
His bashful reply: “You probably don’t even know what that is, do you?”

Kawada's not acting there, either. Lost high school nationals to this guy. Lost the Tiger Mask gimmick to this guy. 1-15 lifetime in one on one matches with this guy. Worked or not it had to feel amazing to finally get the big one over Misawa.

Kawada's on the short list of best sellers ever but is it really selling if they're actually beating your ass?
GodDAMN short range lariat from Stan Hansen to win the Triple Crown!!
Kobashi looking for a new finisher a few years later: "ah! that lariat Hansen-san murdered Kawada with!"

These two previously met on the May 1999 AJPW Tokyo Dome show, in a match that at least based on my memory (and a youtube thumbnail showing Hase with a hold on Kawada's knee, a surefire way towards a match I'll probably like a lot), I would probably wind up liking more than this.
