411MANIA | Yoshihiro Takayama Reportedly Paralyzed

Other than dying in the ring, this gotta be the most horrific thing that can happen to a wrestler.

He was only 50yr olds

Heard it was a sunset flip of all things

I guess his body just gave out.

Watched him and Don Frye live as it aired back in the day. One of the most exciting "fukk being technical" moments of fighting ever. Like you watched them punch 5 years off each other's athletic years in 5 minutes.


This is sad. Hope he recovers.

Was about to create the thread...real sad situation...and he's 50 too. So fukked up.

The report says it was from a DDT

The report says it was from a DDT

Oh, I misread that I thought he was just working for the DDT wrestling promotion.

I wonder if it was a typo then, working for the DDT promotion and the injury was the result from a DDT

 

[CBoz]

Other reports do say it was from a botched sunset flip.
