In case you didn’t know…
During this past Saturday’s G1 Specials at the Cow Palace in the US, Hiromu Takahashi successfully defended his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship against his arch-rival Dragon Lee in yet another tremendous singles match.
However, during the contest, Hiromu, unfortunately, suffered an absolutely devastating neck injury, when he was apparently dropped on his head and broke his neck and following the conclusion to his match, Takahashi was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was given immediate treatment by the doctors.
The heart of the matter
While speaking with Busted Open Radio, Pro Wrestling veteran Chris Jericho revealed that he recently had a conversation with fellow NJPW colleague and former IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay about how ‘The Aerial Assassin’ needs to be careful regarding the high-flying and risk-taking spots that he executes in the ring.

In addition, Jericho did claim the fact that he indeed loves a hard-hitting wrestling match that replicates a good story and his latest battle against Tetsuya Naito at NJPW’s recent Dominion 6.9 show was the perfect example brutal display during a match.
Furthermore, Y2J also noted that he hopes that his fellow NJPW veterans eventually advise all the younger NJPW talent to take it easy inside the ring and not take too many extreme risks.
What’s next?
Since winning the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, Chris Jericho is yet to defend his newly won championship belt, however, we could certainly expect Y2J to put his championship belt on the line against Los Ingobernables de Japon member Evil at some point down the line.
