Description

Mitsuharu Misawa, at 46 years old, was a puroresu legend used to taking huge bumps and stiff strikes and walking away from them. But at the Hiroshima Green Arena on June 13th, 2009, he entered cardiac arrest in the middle of the ring. A distraught-looking Akitoshi Saito, who had just performed a relatively simple version of the belly-to-back suplex, hoped that his opponent would answer the call of "Misawa! Misawa!" from his adoring fans as he had done on so many occasions. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be. On that evening, we lost one of the finest men in wrestling.
