Double post: Morishima da gawd retires:

It was announced on the official NOAH website that Takeshi Morishima has retired. According to the translation there were some medical issues and some blood tests which caused doctors to be concerned. He is a former ROH World Champion and held the title for 231 days after defeating Homicide in 2007. Morishima is also a former 3 time GHC Heavyweight Champion in NOAH.

That fight without honor against Bryan at Final Battle 2008 is one of my favorite matches. I also enjoyed his ROH title run. Early retirement:sadcam:

Damn Morishima was just a youngster when I started watching puro :flabbynsick: Shame he never quite caught on, like most of the NOAH hopefuls to be fair, but he's had some really good runs over the years. The Bryan series was superb on every level, from matches to booking (great escalation in each match leading to the wild blow off) maybe one of the highlights of ROH in general. Loved his match too:

Really doesn't seem that long ago that he and Bryan were having their first match at Manhattan Mayhem II in '07. Sad to see him retire, but early retirement is much preferred to a debilitating injury/ailment or worse.

Its a shame, now the noah roster is getting thinner.
