Tenryu Retires

Japanese pro wrestler Tenryu Genichiro has ended his 39 years of fighting career in the ring. The last match was IWGP title match with Okada Kazuchika at Kokugikan. 

More than 10,000 people came to watch the 65-year-old legend Tenryu's last fight in Ryougoku where the home town of Sumo. Tenryu was a former Sumo wrestler and his ring name Tenryu was his shikona. 

 I liked him even though he didn't have good pro wrestling technique. Instead of that, he had a passion for pro wrestling and he could make audiences excited. His series of battle with Jumbo Tsuruta were really exiting. Pro wrestling fans would miss him a lot.
