I just watched the farewell ceremony for Uhaa Nation from Dragon Gate Japan. Wow. That was just so awesome. Uhaa is on his way to the WWE and this was his final appearance in Dragon Gate, where he's been for 3 years. The whole roster came out, including the big heel faction, and everyone said a few words of goodbye. Several of them were honestly crying and Uhaa broke up more than once. Really made him look like a good guy. He has a mountain of potential.
In much more disturbing news, I stumbled upon the video of the fight between Yoshiko and Act Yasukawa. I had no idea this happened until I saw the video. I don't know what started it but suddenly a wrestling match for Yoshiko's Stardom title turned into her pounding Act's face with punches. Yoshiko is MUCH bigger than Act. She broke Act's nose, cheek, and fractured her orbital socket, along with a concussion. The really scary part is that Act is blind in that eye and just recently had surgery. Horrible stuff. Even if they did hate each other in real life, that should never happen.
Stardom has suspended Yoshiko indefinetly and taken away her title. I don't think that's enough, to be honest.
I'm not going to show the more graphic pictures because even I don't want to see them again.
This is bothers me a lot, not just because I like Act Yasukawa as a performer, but also because I know that she has had a REALLY tough time with her blindness, ADD, mental illness, a neck injury, and a thyroid disorder (which caused the blindness). She's been told several times before to stop wrestling. I hope she can get through this, as well.
