I searched but couldn't find anything to see if someone posted this, but to those true wrestling fans

We lost a legend and possibly one of the greatest wrestlers ever on Saturday night in Japan. Misawa died by taking a backdrop suplex and landed wrong, supposidly injuring his spine. They said he died in the ambulance, but everyone knew he died in the ring. Misawa was the presidant of Pro Wrestling NOAH. He was 46 turning 47 on June 18th of this year. It was incredibly sad and a shock to the whole wrestling world.

I'm wondering if any fans knew about this and were as sad as I was. I'm still sad. I had the pleasure of seeing him live on his only trip to america to ROH. I can't belive he is gone. Chris Hero was at that event and was at ringside watching numerous people try to get him to life. The fans chanting "MI-SA-WA!" anything to get him to move. The video is up on youtube. It is depressing to watch.

I knew he died. I'm a huge pro wrestling fan, and I hardly know him, but I mainly don't watch Japanese pro wrestling. I read about his career on Wikipedia last night, and all I can say is...wow. I had no idea he died in the ring, though. Anyways, rest in peace.

Yeah, it really sucks since he was killed by something that was so routine. Maybe this will convince guys like Kurt Angle (who has taken a ton of abuse over his career) to retire soon so it doesn't happen to them.
