Wrestling legend Jushin “Thunder” Liger had his retirement match at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 14 event over the weekend. Liger issued the following statement (translated from Google) regarding his retirement:
“Retired at Tokyo Dome today! After all, the champion, Hiromu was strong. I can retire without any regrets. I am grateful for messages from various people such as Choshu and Nakamura. There will be a retirement ceremony tomorrow. I want to go like a Liger to the end.”
Liger’s retirement ceremony will be part of NJPW New Year Dash and will be available on the NJPW World streaming service.
本日東京ドーム大会で引退しました！やはりチャンピオン、ヒロム選手は強かったです。何の悔いも無く引退出来ます。長州さんや中邑選手などいろいろな方からもメッセージをいただき感謝しています。明日は引退セレモニーがあります。最後までライガーらしく行きたいと思っています❤ #引退 pic.twitter.com/BnkY22rTVD
