Update On Hiromu Takahashi’s Return From Injury
Hiromu Takahashi hasn’t wrestled since the G1 Special in San Francisco earlier this year. During his performance on that show, Takahashi was dropped on his head and sustained a serious neck injury.
Since sustaining the injury there have been scattered reports regarding his status. Some reports have even questioned whether he’ll be able to return to the ring at all.
According to comments made by journalist Fumi Saito, Takahashi could return to the ring in a few months. Saito was a recent guest on Talk is Jericho with Chris Jericho.
“(Takahashi’s) out little longer than we originally thought,” Saito said. Jericho then asked if Takahashi will be able to return to the ring at all. “I think so,” Saito responded. “Still, out like months and months.”
Based on Saito’s comments, it sounds as though Takahashi will be able to return to the ring but that return is still a long way off.
Takahashi has also been addressing his own recovery through social media. Some of his updates, however, seem to lack any medical credibility. For instance, some of his self-reported updates include him being 732% better.
Takahashi vacated the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship following his injury. Kushida and Taiji Ishimori will face each other at Wrestle Kingdom for that belt.
