So no one's going to talk about Nosawa getting busted for weed possession in Japan?

I know there are like 3 people on this board who actually follow Puro, but careers are being ended here...

411mania.com: Wrestling - Two Japanese Wrestlers Arrested For Marijuana Possession

Kazushige Nosawa and his girlfriend Masami Odate have been arrested for marijuana possession. The couple, professionally known as NOSAWA Rongai and Io Shirai, were picked up at Narita Airport after customs officers discovered 75 grams of marijuana worth approximately $5,000 hidden in a portrait when the couple returned from a Lucha expo in Mexico.

Odate had breakfast with Sarita on Tuesday; the two work together as tag team partners in Japanese women's wrestling company Stardom. Sarita had posted to Facebook:

I had breakfast with my Japanese tag partner Io Shirai...nice chat about returning to Japan this year to keep dominating in Stardom. Stay tuned!

Another report, with a bit more context:

Too long to quote here, but just know that a fairly major AJPW wrestler got caught possessing 2.9g, and he got 5 years in jail AND a blackballing from the Puro industry.

Some of you (okay, me and R=G probably) may recognize his girlfriend as Kana's ex-partner in the Triple Tails stable.

Well, they had a good run, I guess...

The major AJPW guy was Arashi right? The guy Mutoh was mentoring as the next big star until he got busted?

That Japanese wellness policy don't mess around.

Yep.

It's kind of sad just how backwards they really are with their weed laws.

Actually, you could say that about a lot of elements of Japanese culture...
