PWInsider reports that Real Japan Pro Wrestling chairman Shinma Kotobuki announced the original Tiger Mask, otherwise known as Satoru Sayama, is dealing with major health issues. It’s said to be “close to Parkinson’s disease” and is giving him a hard time walking.
RJPW will hold an event in Tokyo, Japan at Korakuen Hall on March 19th called “Original Tiger Mask Satoru Sayama Strong Style Wrestling Vol. 5.” as a tribute. The hope is that Sayama will be able to appear pending on how he feels. The card includes:
- Kazuyuki Fujita and Takashi Sugiura vs. Super Tiger and Daisuke Sekimoto
- UWA Asia Pacific Champion Shogun Okamoto vs. Hayato Mashita vs. Iwasaki Koju
- Miyako Matsumoto and Takumi Iroha vs. AKARI and Saori Anou
