On Monday November 13, the children at the National Center for Child Health and Development in Tokyo’s Setagaya ward got a Monster Morning scale surprise. Manabu Nakanishi and Jushin Thunder Liger were on hand to lend encouragement to sick children and new mothers and babies recovering in the hospital.

Staff and patients thanked both wrestlers for inspiring them in their work and recovery, but Nakanishi and Liger responded that visiting the facility ‘powered us up’ for their upcoming matches.
