New Japan star Katsuyori Shibata has been pulled from upcoming NJPW tour dates after being hospitalized and undergoing emergency surgery for a subdural hematoma caused by a nasty headbutt during his challenge of IWGP champion Kazuchika Okada at Sakura Genesis.
Our best wishes to him for a speedy recovery. If you haven't seen the Okada match, go out of your way to see it.
