Oh my goodness! This is some 2006 Daniel Bryan from Japan going against (might wrestle in the WWE) KENTA! Unbelievable moves are going on here. This is a style of wrestling that can not be pulled off in the WWE but MAN its EXCELLENT TECHNICAL MASTERY going on here.
They might but they might Tajiri him and let him have a striking finisher. A high kick which CM Punk also used.
I tend to enjoy high impact striking moves in wrestling, though. It gives the character the ability to beat people way bigger than him and still have a high impact finish. It was why Shawn Michaels was my favorite wrestler growing up. He could beat anyone in his prime with the Sweet Chin Music and when I would backyard wrestle, that was my move! lol
Something interesting to note here. I take it Japan is more likely to use a person's real height/weight than WWE. At the 9 second mark, this video has him listed as 173cm. If you Google that to feet & inches, you get 5'6", not the 5'10" he's usually billed at in the U.S./WWE. ninja
