TOKYOPOP regretfully announces the passing of former FMW President Shoichi Arai. A visionary in his field, Mr. Arai helped build a wrestling empire that has influenced sports entertainment and sparked the development of the hard-core style of wrestling seen in the U.S. today. Mr. Arai was a colleague and a dear friend. Our hearts and prayers go out to his loved ones in this difficult time.
Too bad he passed away, maybe he could have helped out the WWE with it's pathetic excuse for hard-core macthes.
