This was a bit sad to watch, however Takayama is still a warrior.

 
Glad to see him with a little movement and getting the reception he deserves from the puroresu fans.

Can someone tell me the gist of what's in the video?

I hate OPs like this.
 
Man, I remember this guy from back in the PRIDE days. Sucks to see him like this, but he doesn't seem too down on himself.

Takayama going through physical therapy. He talks to the camera and even draws laughs from the tv show host, so he seems in good spirits. Highlights of his MMA & wrestling career with some still images of his injury. Interviews with Takayama & doctors spread throughout.

Press conference with Minoru Suzuki addressing the injury and the TAKAYAMANIA fund raising effort to pay for his medical bills. Brief highlights of the TAKAYAMANIA charity wrestling show which ended with a video message from Takayama.

So, why is he injured? What happened?
 
He is paralyzed from the neck down due to landing wrong in pro wrestling. Very sad.

Hespect to this great Japanese legend
 
I hope he gets back use of his extremities.
 
I heard that he died not too long ago. Everybody talking about him in this thread as if he were still alive?
