I'm surprised that an eyewitness didn't say that they were disappointed that Kobayashi didn't try to bring a foreign object or even a folding chair into the ring. Where was his tag team partner or manager when this was going on? Didn't they know that they should have been distracting the referee?"I thought he was going to congratulate Chestnut as he was lifting up his belt," one man said.
But a female witness disagreed, and chimed in: "For all I know, he was going up there to punch him out.".
