==2. The History of Toshiaki Kawada==
=====================================
Toshiaki Kawada is a multiple time Triple Crown Champion and has always been
called one of the best workers in the history of Puroresu. Yet in Japan, he
was looked at as the man that would never be the "ace", EVEN THOUGH many of the
"smart" Puroresu fans said that he should be the ace. He was the man that put
Mitsuharu Misawa over as the ace dispite him working with all of his heart and
spirit.
But Kawada has also been credited for fighting in a "dream match" of All Japan
vs. New Japan by defeating Kensuke Sasaki in a New Japan ring in Tokyo Dome
October 9th, 2000. Countless classic matches against Mitsuharu Misawa and
other All Japan talent. And for the infamous "Ganso Bomb" Spot or "Kawada
driver" on January 23th, 1999, when Kawada tried to powerbomb Misawa, but
Misawa countered it with a Hurracarana, but Kawada finally recountered by
dropping Misawa straight on his head.
He started as a "gopher" for Giant Baba, paying his dues as a young kid like
Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi and he wrestled for various indy promotions
in Canada (Montreal and Calgary) with former WWF and WCW Superstar Tom Zenk.
Zenk said that "Baba wanted him to learn English and American wrestling
culture, meet the boy's and be a talent scout." But always praised him as a
incredible worker and I quote: "At 23, he was already an incredible worker with
great moves, like walking the top rope, doing a backflip, and taking you over
with an arm drag."
Matthew Randazzo (www.puroresupower.com) said that "Kawada IS King’s Road, and
he is the only worker today who can uphold that tradition. NOAH’s style has
gone far, far past King’s Road, into an entirely different style (which I will
address one of these days) that hasn’t completely found its bearings."
Those words have so much meaning to it after Mitsuharu Misawa left with over
half of the All Japan roster to form Prowrestling NOAH. You see, Kawada
REFUSED to join NOAH because he said that he can't turn back on King's Road and
the spirit of Giant Baba. He is "keeping face." Remaining loyal to the
tradition of King's Road and All Japan Prowrestling. But hopefully it will all
be worth it considering the turmoil Japanese Prowrestling is in now.
As Zenk said: "Kawada worked his ass off... all the time. He’d learned self
respect and discipline at the dojo. You can still see it in his work 15 years
later. 15 years he gave 100% for how many yen? Compare that with the money
Turner paid to the working marks who killed WCW.
With Baba dead, and loyalties divided everywhere, and considering how crippled
most of the Japanese boys are today... I hope it was worth it ‘keeping face.’"
