The President of Pro Wrestling NOAH, one of the best workers of the 1990s and of all time, passed away today. 

In Hiroshima, Mitsuharu Misawa, who would have turned 47 on June 18, lost consciousness after taking a Backdrop from Akitoshi Saito.  At one point all the wrestlers came from the back to try to revive him, but he was rushed to the hospital as he was turning blue.  Reports say that he passed away from a cardiac arrest.  

Our sincere condolences to the Misawa family, friends and fans.
