1. Mitsuharu Misawa
Arguably one of the greatest Japanese wrestlers in the History, Mitsuharu Misawa, at one point, was one of the best wrestlers in the world. Tough as nails and a dedication to the business like none other, Misawa garnered a huge fan base in Japan, and all across the globe. He wrestled for organizations like All Japan Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Noah, and took part in a legendary feud with the great Jumbo Tsuruta. Respected and adulated by everyone in the business, Misawa was an idol and inspiration to many of the younger wrestlers in Japan. Everything came crashing down in ’09 during a tag team match, when Misawa received a belly to back suplex. Something terrible happened, Misawa was knocked out. The fans became restless, some started crying; everything happened too soon to even think about it. Misawa was pronounced dead when the ambulance arrived at the hospital. It was one of the rare occasions where a legend lost his life in the ring. When I came to know about the incident on the day it happened, like other big wrestling fans, I was in denial. But when the news surfaced online, it was one of the most bizarre incidents. Misawa, nevertheless, will be a hero for his fans, and a legend in the business.
