* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments:
** Wrestling/TheUndertaker may have The Streak, but Kobashi has the Burning Hammer. It is a move so deadly that nobody he has used it on ever kicked out of it -- and he used it ''less than ten times '''throughout his entire career'''''.
** On March 1, 2003, Kobashi '''finally''' defeated longtime rival Wrestling/MitsuharuMisawa for a singles championship, the GHC Heavyweight Championship, in what's highly regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestling matches of all time. He would go on to embark on a two-year title reign, becoming the longest-reigning GHC Heavyweight Champion in history, which stands to this day.
** If you haven't watched his match against Wrestling/SamoaJoe… hunt it down, trade for it, buy it, do what you must. ''Find it.'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whi7usNNd6s& Now uploaded onto the ROH YouTube page, free for everyone to watch.]]
** For over four minutes at Noah Destiny 2005, Kobashi and Wrestling/KensukeSasaki did only one move to each other. Chops. No punches, no kicks, no suplexes or any other moves. [[MundaneMadeAwesome Just chops]]. Chops that would make Wrestling/RicFlair piss his pants. Chops that would make Wrestling/{{Walter}} get on his knees and pray for strength. For four minutes Kobashi and Sasaki chopped the ever loving ''shit'' out of each other, sweat misting off their bodies with each of the 167 chops they delivered together, until their chests turned purple, until the crowd went from cheering, to incredulous, to roaring, until they were absolutely exhausted... ''[[ButWaitTheresMore and they kept wrestling]]''.
* MemeticBadass: He cured his own cancer by hitting it with a Burning Hammer. Or chops.
* MemeticMutation: It's never a clothesline that gets thrown by Kobashi. It's always a '''''LARIATOOOOOO!!!'''''
