Am Samstag schockierte die Nachricht des Todes von Mitsuharu Misawa die Wrestlingwelt. Nun, einige Stunden nach seinem Tod, haben Kollegen der japanischen Legende ihre Empfindungen zum Tod des Superstars via Myspace, Facebook, Twitter oder ihrer offiziellen Homepages zum Ausdruck gebracht. Wir haben diese für euch gesammelt:

Chris Hero: Words cannot express how deeply shocked I am. We're all just in utter disbelief. Stunned sadness. The moments at ringside felt an eternity. Never, in my life, have I wanted the fighting spirit to jump into someone's being more than I wanted tonight. The fans chanted Misawa, Misawa, Misawa. They wanted their Hero to get up so fucking bad. Just get up. Come on! You're too tough for this. Too strong. I grabbed his boots and held onto them til they took him away. My heart goes out to his family. His students. His peers. His friends. His fans. His opponents tonight and his partner. It was a freak accident. No one is at fault. Rest in Peace Shacho.

Awesome Kong: RIP Mitsuharu Misawa-san

Hurricane Helms: Just read about Misawa. This is very sad!

Matt Hardy: Just read that Mitsuharu Misawa passed away while performing in Japan on Saturday night. A very sad thing to hear.

Jeremy Borash: Shocked to hear of the passing of Mitsuharu Misawa. Was lucky enough to meet him at last year's Tokyo Dome show. What a sad tragedy. R.I.P.

Gangrel: I had some great matches with Misawa, so sad, what a loss to our sport. Rip my friend.

Matt Morgan: Horrible news today guys. Just heard Japanese legendary wrestler Mitsuharu Misawa passed away. If some of you younger fans don't know how important he was to the Japanese wrestling landscape, check him out on YouTube. Misawa was always a class act towards me.

Low Ki: He was the first person I saw after my first championship match in NOAH and he said something that meant so much to me, "good job". It was an honor to be a part of his company. I just can't believe he's gone. I don't know what else to say. This is terrible. I feel terrible.

Chris Jericho: Misawa was a true warrior and one of my all time favorite performers. His fighting spirit and superb psychology will be remembered.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling: TNA Wrestling is saddened to hear of the sudden and tragic loss of Misawa. He was respected around the world and he will be missed. We pass on our sincere condolences to his family and those who worked with him in Japan.

Westside Xtreme Wrestling: Mit großer Erschütterung haben wir heute vom Tod von Mitsuharu Misawa erfahren. Nicht nur geht dem Sport damit ein großer Mann viel zu früh verloren, sondern auch ein Mensch, den wir persönlich kennen und schätzen lernen durften, verlässt uns so plötzlich für immer. Als Misawa-san 2005 den wXw-Ring betrat, war er uns nichts schuldig und hat doch einen bleibenden Eindruck vor wie hinter den Kulissen hinterlassen. Der Respekt, die Haltung und die Freundlichkeit der lebenden Legende sind uns bis heute und sicher auch in Zukunft Vorbild und Anleitung, professionell wie privat. Unsere Gedanken sind in diesen schweren Stunden bei Mitsuharu Misawas Familie, seinen Angehörigen, den Angestellten von Pro Wrestling NOAH und seinen zahllosen Fans weltweit. Wir werden Misawa-san ein ehrendes Andenken bewahren und sind ihm für seine große Unterstützung und Großzügigkeit sehr dankbar und verbunden.

Claudio Castagnoli: RIP Mitsuharu Misawa...

Ares: Today is a sad day for wrestling. Mitsuharu Misawa passed away way too early, though in the one place he loved — the ring. Normally the death of a fellow worker doesn’t faze me too much, not even when I actually met or even wrestled against the guy. But with Misawa it’s a little different, and I don’t know exactly why. But as with everything in life I try to see to good side, so I will remember the good memories I have of Mitsuharu Misawa. [...] I have great memories of Japan, and have to thank "Sacho", which means boss and was the nickname of Mitsuharu Misawa for it. And I am sure he never knew how happy and proud he made me, when he stepped into the ring with me. I was lucky enough to not only meet Misawa, but had the chance to wrestle him. And believe me, his forearms were some of the most brutal I ever had to take. I will never forget him, and will continue to use his move in his memory.
