More from Wrestling Observer: Mitsuharu Misawa, one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all-time, was declared dead at 10:10 p.m. Saturday night at a hospital in Hiroshima after being dropped on his head in a tag team title match.
Misawa would have turned 47 on June 18th.
Misawa & Go Shiozaki were challening Bison Smith & Akitoshi Saito for the GHC tag team championship in Hiroshima and Misawa was dropped on his head at about 8:45 p.m. and knocked unconscious.
According to eye witness reports, Saito gave Misawa a "routine" back suplex that was described as a "7" in danger on a scale of one-to-ten. He did not get up. It was chaos in the ring as they attempted to revive him using CPR and the crowd was hushed for a while, and began a "Misawa" chant. He turned purple in the ring and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
The wrestlers were told on the bus that he had passed away.
While it is being reported that he passed away at the hospital, he may have actually passed away in the ring. |

This is just so awful, legends like Misawa aren't supposed to die this young.........
This is just painful to even think about or contemplate, like it isn't even supposed to be possible. It'd be like living in metropolis and finding out Superman is dead.

I just woke up and my friend told me this, what a complete and total shock. This is the last person I'd ever think would die this early.

I have no idea how the body works in situations like these, but it seems like the impact to the head triggered the cardiac arrest. The guy's taken thousands of head drops over the year. He always made them look more devastating with how he took them. When I look back and see Steve Williams, Kawada, Akiyama, Morishima or Kobashi giving him a backdrop, it'll never be the same.
I remember Gary Albright, a northeast indy wrestler, died in-ring from cardiac arrest after taking a bulldog about a decade ago.

I can't say I've ever seen him wrestle, but I was always aware of his influence in the business and how highly so many people saw him.
A terrible loss. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

As everyone has said, this is just...wow I'm not really sure what to say.
That blog entry from Hero really hit home.
God speed.
