Did You Know...Katsuyori Shibata

Post by cero2k » Jan 24th, '14, 20:34

delivered a blow that ended up killing Masakazu Fukuda?

from wiki

On April 14, 2000, Fukuda suffered a fatal head injury during a match with Katsuyori Shibata in the Young Lion Cup Tounrnament after taking a flying elbow drop. He was rushed to the hospital but died 5 days later on April 19 due to a brain hemorrhage; he was 27 years old. The rest of the tournament was dedicated to Masakuza's memory and was honored with a ten-bell salute and a tribute show in September of that year.

it makes me wonder why NJPW doesn't protect his matches more and just let him go out there all stiff
