[Art Barr]

That is not even that bad of a spot. That twitter user is a p*ssy.

The wrong type of table was used, but the spot itself is pretty safe especially with Omega performing it

Compared to a football game's effects on the body, it is yawn worthy

"That twitter user" is Gary Michael Cappetta, former WWF/AWA/WCW announcer in the 70s/80s/90s, worked with ROH in the mid 2000s. He's probably qualified to tell guys not to kill themselves for pops.

He is no more qualified than I am to tell anyone that.

It wasn't that bad of a spot. Period. Just a bad table.

I don't really think anyone needs to be qualified to say "things like suplexes from a 20 foot ladder or powerbombs to the floor on a table 10 feet away from the ring are dangerous", but that's me

This isnt a new Japan thing. Any time Dragon Lee faces Hiromu Takahashi, I cringe several times a match because they always go ALL OUT. Tbh im stunned they got through so many matches without injuries already.

yea

this match was an injury waiting to happen.

I can't read Japanese whatsoever but Takahashi's Twitter is still one of the best wrestling twitter feeds in the world.

 

[Da King]

this exact response from this moron is exactly why he's eating out of a feeding tube right now

 

[Wacky D]

As per The Wrestling Observer, it is been apparently reported by New Japan Pro Wrestling doctors that current IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion, Hiromu Takahashi might be sidelined for a total of 9 to 12 months due to his gruesome neck injury, before he can eventually make his return to in-ring competition.

According to the report, it currently states that Takahashi had initially suffered a broken neck, but, as of right now, nothing has been made public from the current Jr. Champion's camp.

In addition, there are apparently also no signs of any sort of nerve damage and the hope is that Takahashi might be able to start training within six months time at least.

As of right now, New Japan Pro Wrestling has also not provided any sort of update on Takahashi or what the future holds for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title. However, fans should expect an official announcement from NJPW management following the conclusion of the on-going G1 Climax 28.

But, meanwhile, it is pretty likely that Takahashi will apparently have no other option but to vacate his title belt and with the likes of Will Ospreay, Taiji Ishimori, and Marty Scurll currently a part of the Jr. Heavyweight Division, there are currently no short of contenders for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title.

out 9 to 12 months

out 9 to 12 months

and the marks he broke his neck for didn't give a shyt about him 24 hours after he snapped his neck
