Japanese former FMW wrestler "Hayabusa" Eiji Ezaki passed away on Thursday March 3rd, 2016.
EDIT: Hayabusa wrestled from 1991-2001, when he suffered a career-ending injury during a match and was paralyzed from the waist down. He went on to become a singer, yet also stayed in the wrestling business as a promoter/owner of the short-lived WMF, a spokesman for Dragon Gate (including touring the US with the promotion), and being executive producer for the new FMW that is currently running. He continued his rehabilitation, and in 2015 he was able to walk with a cane during a ceremony.
The video package linked is from an American video release of an FMW interview/clip package that was made before his injury, showing his high-flying wrestling style:
