AMAZING MONSTER: The Rise and Fall of Takeshi Morishima

NOAH's Takeshi Morishima was one of the best big men in wrestling in the late 2000's, a GHC champion who also had an incredible run in ROH. While he should be better remembered, but his career had an abrupt and tragic ending. This is the story of NOAH's fast, stiff and burliest monster star.

This incredible Hi5ame article on Morishima is highly recommended, and was crucial in detailing the sad circumstances surrounding the end of his career, and his arrest. http://puroprogramtranslations.blogsp...
