Serious Injuries - Shoulder, Knee

Outlook - Koji Kanemoto has gone from the third generation Tiger Mask to one of the top junior heavyweights in not only New Japan, but the world. His bad attitude and has helped him stay popular for over half a decade. After coming back from a serious injury, Kanemoto was made a heel and he had a good run. The fans though were aching to cheer him and since his turn, Kanemoto has really stepped up his game. Looking as good as he ever as at near forty, Kanemoto has shown that he still has quality time and matches left in his banged up body.
