Japanese wrestling news website PuroresuPower.com is reporting that wrestling legend Kenta Kobashi, "would undergo medical treatment to remove a renal tumor (kidney cancer). The tumor was discovered during a medical check-up. Medical consultation is currently taking place. There is some concern that the tumor could be malignant." Kobashi, considered one of the all time great in-ring wrestlers of this generation made several rare appearances in the United States last year. A scheduled match on 7/16 at Budokan Hall has been cancelled.

(NOAH) A shocking announcement was made today by NOAH President Mitsuharu Misawa, as Misawa announced that Kenta Kobashi would undergo medical treatment to remove a renal tumor (kidney cancer). The tumor was discovered during a medical check-up. Medical consultation is currently taking place. There is some concern that the tumor could be malignant. His participation in the "dream" tag match (he was going to partner with Yoshihiro Takayama vs. Jun Akiyama & Misawa on 7/16 at Nippon Budokan) is now cancelled.

Kobashi is simply one of the very best wrestlers that I have seen, and I've only seen less than a dozen of his matches. This is sad news, but I hope it turns out ok and he doesn't have to retire. Of course retirement doesn't really matter, I just hope the guy is alright.

A shame he may never get the chance to wrestle on a global scale, even if it was a few matches with TNA. It's ROH work got rave reviews, and rightfully so.
