Comedian / actress Yuriyan Retriever (31), who will portray "Dump Matsumoto" in a Netflix drama series about the wrestler's life, was hospitalized with brain damage after receiving a "head-dropping" technique more than 100 times during filming.
> [She did not complain about it, and the shooting continued]. Later, however, she suffered an unbearable headache, and when Yuriyan rushed to the hospital, she was diagnosed with a brain injury requiring hospitalization for at least one week.
Yuriyan received pro-wrestling instructions from retired pro-wrestler Chigusa Nagayo (57) and increased her weight from 65kg to 93kg to accurately portray the corpulent Dump Matsumoto.
Currently, filming for the series has stopped and there is no prospect of it resuming. "There seems to be a mood among the production staff that the resumption of filming of the drama is hopeless."
