According to Green Destiny, Japanese legend and Pro Wrestling NOAH star Kenta Kobashi had emergency surgery relating to ulnar nerve paralysis. The condition causes numbness and lack of strength in the hand and arm, and can lead to permanent severe weakness in the limb. One of ulnar nerve neuropathy’s possible causes is a tumor, which comes to mind over his recent battle with cancer, but no comment was made on the origin of Kobashi’s condition. The surgery lasted three hours and was said to be totally susccessful. Green Destiny reports he is expected to return to NOAH in six months.
On behalf of Pulse Wrestling, we wish Kobashi a full and speedy recovery.
