PWInsider reported that Real Japan Pro Wrestling chairman Shinma Kotobuki announced that Satoru Sayama, who is the original Tiger Mask, is dealing with major health issues.
They're saying it is “close to Parkinson’s disease” and is giving him a hard time walking. RJPW ended up holding an event in Tokyo, Japan at Korakuen Hall on March 19th 2020 “Original Tiger Mask Satoru Sayama Strong Style Wrestling Vol. 5.”
The ring announcer opened the show, and said he spoke to Satoru Sayama on the phone last night. Sayama was with the show in spirit, so obviously he did not attend.
At the time of this post, there has been no more word on his health. Parkinson's has 5 stages to it. The higher the stage the more severe the disease.
