tl;dr:
Takayama is utterly paralyzed from the neck down.
He can barely breathe now.
He can't eat and shit by himself.

Worst Ending for the guy who gave the most iconic MMA fight of the century against Don Frye. This fucking sucks.
He was never as cool as Eiji Ezaki, I don't give a fuck if he let Don Frye punch him in the face a thousand times.
Poor guy. What a horrible way to go out, and from a comedy match of all things.

one of the greatest meme fights of all time
At least Hayabusa was able to move by wheelchair.
Takayama can't even move, and what's worse, he's a big guy for a Japanese.
Imagine the size of his poops.
His wife has to handle them like every fucking day.
This is worse than death desu.
>>3104702
He should do the honorabu thing and commit sudoku.

Wow. So there's no chance of recovery. Devastated by this, he's one of my favorites.
Who?
Literally who.
please halp Takayama.
His fight against Don Frye was priceless.
NJPW, AJPW, NOAH big Japanese major puroresu federations are going to halp him.
please take your money to Takayama

Respect to the big dude. Sad to hear this.
>>3104731

>>3104632
Poor git. This is the sort of shite assisted suicide is for. That's no way to live.
>>3104810

F for the man

depressing story, couldn't imagine living like that
here's some renee feet to cheer up some of you bros
>>3104632
Fuck this is terrible news. Life isn't fair.
>>3104632
Meltzer should donate money since he supported and promotes style that contributed to his current condition
>>3104632
When MiSu and goofball DDT Owner Sanshiro Takagi are weeping their eyes out, you know this shit is serious
>>3105745
> Minoru Suzuki crying
Not like this :(
>>3104632
Can anyone explain how this happened? Was this an accident in the ring or just came outta nowhere.
>>3104632
Literal who?
>>3106103
He tried to do a sunset flip on his opponent and landed on his head
>>3106116
Wow. Is there a webm of this who was his opponent in DDT.
>>3106129
Not sure if there is footage (I haven't looked for it myself, there might be). Here is what Wikipedia says on that...
>Takayama was injured at a DDT show on May 4, 2017, when he landed on his head when attempting a sunset flip on Yasu Urano. The match was ended immediately and Takayama was rushed to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with a "cervical spinal cord injury due to degenerative cervical spondylosis".

>May 4, 2017
I thought this was yesterday. But that's recent news when it broke this weekend right.
>>3106195
No it's been known about for at least a couple weeks, I recall reading about it prior to this week. But yeah seems there were months where the fans were unaware.
>>3106207
Has he been responsive and aware what happened. Man MiSu been torn up inside while wrestling in NJPW G-1. I hope DDT won't get any negative flank over this and hope Takayama sake's it will be miracle to get better.
>>3104702
Hayabusa was also able to walk a little bit eventually. Tyson Kidd also made a decent recovery even if he'll never wrestle again.
Don't see much hope for a 6'5 300 pounder in his 50s though
>>3105745
>>3105704
It was a botched sunset flip.
>>3106502
why was a guy his size doing a sunset flip?
>>3106643
Comedy match.

Suzuki's instagram just strikes me as odd sometimes. He seems cool though.
