Mitsuharu Misawa was one of the biggest names in Japanese wrestling. He had some great matches throughout his career and was also the Wrestler of the Year on three occasions.

But due to years of physical matches Misawa was in a terrible condition when he came into a match with Saito. He was just a bump away from losing his life and that bump happened to be a backdrop from Saito.

Misawa immediately lost consciousness and was taken to the hospital where he died. Due to Misawa's popularity, Saito later received many death threats as he was the reason why many fans’ favourite wrestler had passed away.
