Today is one of Japanese wrestling’s darkest days in recent memory-the 15th anniversary of the death of legendary wrestler and Pro Wrestling NOAH founder Mitsuharu Misawa, who died after suffering a medical emergency during a match. He led the mass exodus from All-Japan Pro Wrestling at the end of the 20th century to form NOAH. As they do every June, NOAH has dedicated the entire month to honoring their founder with a variety of events and tributes, including this one from the official NOAH English language Twitter:
MITSUHARU MISAWA, FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS!
