【薬物、暴行、強制わいせつ・・・】本当にあったプロレス事件簿――逮捕されたレスラーたち。　#猪木 #長州力　#前田日明　#タイガーマスク　#プロレス

Professional wrestlers do not simply compete in the ring. They are burdened with symbols of "strength," "justice," and "way of life," and fans have attached their dreams, hopes, and catharsis to them. However, behind that glamorous image, wrestlers face realities such as grueling physical demands, unstable incomes, the pressures of performing, and complex human relationships. As individuals, they are by no means unique. This article focuses on the distorted manifestation of this reality: the arrest of a professional wrestler. The case of Takeshi Morishima is a prime example. On November 4, 2018, Morishima, a former top wrestler, boarded a taxi while intoxicated. When getting out of the taxi in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, he complained that the 18,000 yen fare he was charged was too high. An argument ensued, and he assaulted the driver, severely injuring him and breaking his cheekbone. Furthermore, it was revealed that Morishima had boarded taxis without sufficient cash and had asked those around him for money. He reportedly had a severe drinking problem, drinking in the Golden Gai area from midday. In 2015, he announced his retirement due to poor health and left Pro Wrestling Noah. His life remained uncertain after that, but in October 2018, he announced he would be holding an independent event. He was scheduled to face his former Noah rival, Takashi Sugiura, but in September, the match was canceled due to "septic arthritis surgery." Tickets had already been sold, leaving the promotion to scramble to respond. This incident, which occurred after repeated troubles and the cancellation of his comeback event, was not merely a case of violence; it also highlighted the process by which wrestlers lose contact with society. The sense of disappointment was so great that the name of his mentor, Mitsuharu Misawa, was even mentioned. #Inoki #ChoshuRiki #MaedaHideki #TigerMask #ProWrestling
