Today in Puroresu history:
1994:
Giant Baba & Stan Hansen vs. Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi. Mitsuharu Misawa becomes the second Japanese wrestler ever to pin Giant Baba. This was an explosive win which only furthered the incredible meteoric popularity of Mitsuharu Misawa who only continued to rise as a bonafide legend until his tragic death last year in the middle of the ring he loved so much.
Mitwuharu Misawa died three days before his 47th birthday in the middle of the ring in front of thousands of fans who never stopped chanting his name.
Mitsuharu Misawa (1962.6.18 - 2009.6.13)
"The Superstar" Mitsuharu Misawa: There was never any better.
