Toshiaki Kawada inadvertently invents the Ganzo Bomb.

On January 22, 1999, Mitsuharu Misawa was set to defend is All-Japan Triple Crown championship title against Toshiaki Kawada.

After a very long and grueling match, that saw Kawada break his own arm doing a spinning forearm to the back of Misawa's head, one of the final spots took place that was one of the scariest moments in wrestling.

Kawada lifted Misawa to attempt a powerbomb. What happened next was the invention of one of the sickest and most dangerous finishers in wrestling: the ganzo bomb. Kawada, whether it was miscommunication or not being able to re-lift Misawa with a broken arm, dropped Misawa on top of his head from the powerbomb position.

For several seconds, Misawa laid nearly motionless in the ring with the watching audience not knowing the severity of the move he was just put through. Kawada covered Misawa and just before the ref made the three-count, Misawa kicked out and the match continued.
