ELP will be away for a bit.

El Phantasmo Status

El Phantasmo, also know as ELP, was announced by New Japan Pro Wrestling that he will take indefinite leave due to health concerns. Then, Phantasmo quoted the post with words of his own, revealing that he’s had a bunch of scans and tests done, and doctors have found a little tumour of cancer. He says he will be back in NJPW to stand next to Hiroshi Tanahashi and defend NJPW, but it’s unknown when.

We at BodySlamNet send our best wishes to El Phantasmo and hope he gets well as soon as possible.
