Poor Hiromu's broken neck means he may never return to wrestling, and even if he does, there'll be no telling if he'll be anything close to the world-class performer he was before Dragon Lee accidentally dropped him on his head.

We refuse to be gloomy about this lovable maniac's prospects, though.

Prediction: Recovered Junior Heavyweight Ace, only with less head drops.
