Never saw that coming.....even if Joe loses the singles match....that's HUGEEEE. First time Misawa has been pinned since losing to Rikio in 08/2005 IIRC.
For clarity, Misawa has previously only been pinned FOUR TIMES IN THE HISTORY OF PRO WRESTLING NOAH. One to Akiyama in a 2/3 falls tag match in NOAH's infancy, once to drop the GHC the first time to Akiyama in July 2001, once to drop the GHC again to Kobashi in March 03 and then in a failed title challenge against Rikio in 2005.
And if anyone here has seen hte SSS with Joe, he tells a story of how when Zero-1 ran the Korakuen where NOAH's offices were, he used the Island Driver (Emerald Frosion) and got heat from NOAH from it because he didn't know it was Misawa's finisher (Hashimoto thought it was funny) as he alwasy saw him use the Tiger Driver. That was sometime in 2001/2002. My the irony.
And pictures
Look at the ref's face in the last one. It's like he just awarded the entire nation of Japan to Godzilla.
