Miyako Matsumoto holds the ropes open so Hikaru Shida can step into the ring wearing a furry pink zebra print arm sling. The fans are all cheering
Hikaru Shida - Wow! You like me, you really like me. The last time you saw me, I was being helped out of here while crying like a baby. What happened was that when Io Shirai pulled me off the turnbuckle my shoulder hit the turnbuckle and the tendons connecting 2 muscles in my shoulder to the bone in my arm were completely torn. On Sunday morning, I underwent surgery to have the tendons reattached.
I want to thank Dr Misawa and nurse Yumi here in JPP and all the doctors and nurses at The Hong Kong Jockey Club Sports Science and Health Sciences Centre for taking care of me and sickting me back together. I also want to thank a bunch of really important people…. All of you. The tweets, Facebook messages, cards, flowers, and other little gifts are so special.
I’ll be out of action for about 6 months while I heal and rehabilitate my shoulder. Just because I won’t be in the ring, doesn’t mean I’ll be invisible. You’ll see me on tv from time to time.
Thanks again everyone. Let’s enjoy the rest of the show.
