Former ECW, FMW, and Japanese Legend Hayabusa, has passed away this morning. Eiji Ezaki, better known to the wrestling world as Hayabusa, was found dead with the cause being a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the area of the brain and the tissues that cover the brain).
He only spent a few months in the North American territories along with an appearance ECW Heatwave 1998 in an amazing contest with Sabu & Rob Van Dam. In October 2001, Haybusa suffered a broken neck while attempting an Asai Moonsault (Lionsault). He cracked two of his vertebrae & left him paralyzed.
A video emerged of the legend rising from his wheelchair and walked to the ring for the first time since his accident, for a ceremonial 10 count. A true inspiration.
