That letter broke me. He knew someday he may die in the ring, and that whoever was unfortunate enough to be his opponent that night would need that letter. Even when he was struggling so much, he was still trying to help other wrestlers and take responsibility. I'm glad Saito continued as was Misawa's wish.

Yesterday, the man who delivered the final bump of Misawa’s career, Akitoshi Saitoh, retired. He said he felt he fulfilled the promise he made to Misawa after he passed. "I can't even come close to reaching the level of that great man in heaven, but I think I have fulfilled in my own way the vow, and the promise, I made in my heart on June 13th, 2009 in Hiroshima. That's why I've decided to retire!"

Great work, great video. I had the honor of participating in a NOAH tryout match with Terry Gordy's son Ray in the presence of Misawa on his US recruiting tour. Very big honor and great memory. He carried an amazing presence about him. That day also saw him and Terry speak and shake hands before they both passed away. Brought closer to past heat. Very cool experience.

This is honestly one of the best pro wrestling related videos that I've ever seen, Misawa's story really is a tragedy at the end of the day because, despite how he's at the very least, one of the greatest of all time, he really shouldn't have been trying to wrestle like it was the 1990s in the mid 2000s.

The thumbnail has got me so emotional. Oh my... it has been longer than a decade but I still miss Misawa-san. Takayama-san is also paralyzed due to the neck injury. Saito-san's agony must be unfathomable. I still watch NOAH and Saito-san's matches always bring something special. Sometimes they are super-intense, sometimes they are followed by passionate speeches, and sometimes they are really funny. I am grateful for Saito-san's love for NOAH, wrestling fans, and Misawa-san.

Akitoshi Saito told Tokyo Sports just the other day that even 15 years after Misawa's passing he still receives messages to this day calling him a murderer for what happened. Saito says that he made a promise to Misawa and to himself after Misawa's death that he would keep wrestling and stand in front of everyone and accept that blame and burden, to be the figure people can be angry at if they just need somewhere to direct it towards, and so he responds to each of these hateful messages saying "I'm very sorry, but even if I'm told to quit wrestling there are things I have promised that I must do. Please forgive me." That poor, poor man. I'm glad that the majority of fans continue to give him love especially on this week 💚

Thank you Colin for making this video. It's wonderful but also incredibly depressing.

Imagine if him and Kenny Omega got together and did a stream. I guess that is our final Forbidden Door.

33:39 They were the only natives, but Stan Hansen stayed for the rest of the year prior to retiring, Steve Williams stayed as well along with most of the mid card foreigners. Plus Taiyo Kea (as he would be known not long after the split), who while was a foreigner did train in the dojo, and Masahito Kakihara did leave, but only did one NOAH show before returning to AJPW. I know Kawada and Fuchi are the most important of who stayed, but I just wanted to note there was more of a hold over than just them.

@@Kaltagstar96 Yeah, Tenryu joined quickly after, and so did his WAR guys did join. They worked with NJPW as well to fill up the bigger cards, having big matches at the Nippon Budokan, and Muto was a big part of that, winning the Triple Crown, and by 2002, he would join full time (as would some of his core guys like Kendo Kashin), and he would own the company. AJPW seemed to have been quite competative to be fair, regular running the Budokan until 2004, and NOAH would only start doing Budokan showsat the same rate pre split AJPW had done that same year.

Mitsuharu Misawa is 1 of 1. I can only imagine what he would think of wrestling today. In an alternate world where Misawa is still alive, I could see him sitting front row at NOAH and even NJPW shows possibly doing commentary. I could see TK having Misawa sit front row at an AEW PPV where he gets a standing ovation. I could see Misawa throwing an elbow at someone in AEW to a roar from the crowd. I could see Misawa appearing on Kenny Omega’s Twitch streams to play video games. RIP Misawa. He will be missed but always remembered. I’m also going to nickname my Bulbasaur Misawa from now on

Great video. Its interesting how Misawa never seemed to realize that the fans like him not his performances. The advice Mick Foley got he never did.

Started watching wrestling in ‘04, only recently in past half decade or so was exposed to Misawa’s work. I truly dislike matches that went on way too long. But when I watch the Emerald Emperor, it was like an hour isn’t enough. I watched a lot of documentaries chronicling his career, but this is the best no question. Awesome content. I hope more people get to watch his work. Guys like Eddie Kingston have been singing his praises every chance they could, and that’s for good reason. I genuinely hope more people find this because Mitsuharu Misawa DESERVES the recognition.

The willingness to give everything to pro wrestling is what makes Japanese wrestling (and wrestling that adheres to its philosophies) special to me. It's about total commitment, some real samurai shit. Is it ultimately reckless and dangerous? Yes, even for the best. Does it often end poorly for them? It does. But it lifts their performance, makes their wrestling more believable, the matches more intense, and adds a layer of very real human drama to wrestling that lifts it from low-bow schlock into credible and compelling performance art.

I missed the initial NJPW boom in the late 2000 teens, got into it just before the pandemic, coinciding with the start of AEW. I’m 31 years old and never understood the wider wrestling world beyond WWE/WCW as a child. Japanese wrestling is now one of my favourite parts of wrestling and its creators like yourself that have helped me now understand Japanese wrestling beyond NJPW and I can say without a doubt Misawa is one of the greatest of ALL time no matter the country or continent he wrestled in. From juniors to heavyweight his style is used in every single promotion I can think of, he was such a big guy flying through the air and he just let his body take most of the brunt of all his impacts. I’ll never know how he wrestled for as long as he did! He’s someone I’ll always wish I could’ve saw in real time but what an amazing catalogue he has. I hope he isn’t forgotten if WWE & NOAH do this crossover they’re teasing with an announcement!

I remember a channel who made a video about Mitsuhara some time ago that was about 40 mins - an hr. One of the best wrestling video essays Ive seen to this day.

I've been getting into japanese wrestling, and now I understand why Misawa was loved. He was essentially the Hulk Hogan of japan. He was an amazing talent who gave it his all and has some amazing matches with some of Japan's best. Rest in peace, Mitsuharu Misawa.

Gonzo bombs. Tiger drivers. Burning Hammers... And the Steve Williams Suicide backdrops....Theyre lucky more wrestlers didnt die in the ring, IMO. Some of those bumps are unbelievable.

I never knew Misawa. All I knew of him was seeing clips of this man in plain looking tights from the 80's/90's having these incredible legendary battles that you knew were these unbelievable rivalries that you were missing out on due to living in a different culture and country. It's awesome to hear his story presented by you! Thank you for your dedication to the sport. He really was every bit of the legend that he seemed to be. I guess his work speaks for itself!

One of the best video profiles i've seen on a wrestler hands down! Was really cool hearing about how nerdy Misawa was is amazing especially since i only knew he was a legend in wrestling.

I was crushed when I heard Misawa-San had died . But no one can say he didn't go out without fighting spirit marching the kings road . He died a warrior in the ring , but it still saddens me .

Tiger Mask! I'd been wanting to learn more about him. FMW International Slaughterhouse is my favorite wrestling tape ever but it's hard to find FMW stuff with English commentary

I never got into All Japan/Noah, but I certainly knew who Misawa was. Amazing that late in his career, when his body was in such rough shape, he'd still go out and bust his ass working.
