Comedian Masaki Sumitani (33), better known as Razor Ramon HG, suffered a broken heel last week during a wrestling match. The injury is expected to take two months to fully heal.
On July 30, Sumitani had a match against pro wrestler Tajiri (38) as part of the Hustle tour. Sumitani's management said that he landed incorrectly while jumping down from the top rope. He continued the match, which ultimately resulted in his defeat, but was afterwards taken to the hospital by ambulance. He was diagnosed with a compound fracture in his left heel. Sumitani is currently staying in the hospital, and it remains to be seen whether he will later require surgery.
Sumitani was expected to perform in the musical "Blood Brothers" (starring Ami Suzuki), which starts on August 7 and runs until September 27. He will be replaced by Meiken Ito (39).
