[edit] Dispute ?!

Honestly, I don't understand why anyone would mark this article as an NPOV dispute unless he has a vendetta against passionate writing. When describing an athlete's career, I believe it is perfectly acceptable that an author praises the said athlete for his talent and accomplishments. It would certainly be more controversial in writing the biography of a political figure, but not here. Voievod 23:48, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree that the part with "he is the last wrestler in Japan with any real drawing power" is certainly exaggereated, but can't really find any other large defects. Although this biography is more suited for a website dedicated to Kobashi, I think it can be kept if a few tweaks are made here and there... Voievod 23:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey I also think Kobashi is the greatest wrestler I've even seen work, but still this is an encyclopedia, and stuff like that need to be cleaned up. The general tone and the example you noted, etc. The general tone of an encyclopedia should be different from a tribute site.
