Just 18 months after making her debut in AtoZ, Asuka shockingly announced her retirement with immediate effect. The date was March 19th 2006, and the reason was chronic nephritis. 

Chronic what, I hear you cry? Well, nephritis is basically an inflammation of the kidneys, and is caused by infections, toxins and other such issues that can cause bother for the major organs, in this case the kidneys.

Asuka's retirement wouldn't last long though, and on September 22nd 2007 she returned to the ring and is obviously still going strong today.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
