Wow, that's terrible.

[Tenese Sarwieh]

So sad to hear.

[ShittyLittleBoots]

Heartbreaking Wish all the best for that big bad mothafucka. Love me some Takayama.

He was one of my Favorites when I got into Puro in '03, Ohno reminds me of him now with his currently look which is why I dont see the problem with his weight gain

[Mad Dog]

It's been a terrible year in Japan for these kinds of injuries.

[The Thread Killer]

This is really sad.

 

I have read conflicting reports about the cause of the injury. The first report I read about this injury said it was from a DDT spot gone wrong. Turns out no, the injury was the result of a sunset flip, during a match for DDT.

 

I also read that this has caused a big financial burden on his family, which just adds further misery to an already tragic situation. I thought Japan had socialized medicine like we do in Canada, but maybe not? It's bad enough this happened to the poor guy, but for his family to be crushed with the weight of mounting medical bills on top of the accident, makes an already sad situation that much worse.

 

Terrible news.

Thoughts and prayers to his family. The man's already pulled through some awful health circumstances in his time. Hopefully there's a miraculous recovery to come.

Ah man, I'm a big fan of Takayama. Hope he's able to make a complete recovery.

[Zenjo]

Very sad news. It's hard to imagine suffering a worse injury than that. Life is Strange and unfortunately all too real.

 

He was one of my favourite wrestlers back in 03/04. Hopefully he can have some sort of recovery.
