Hiroshi Tanahashi has spent over 20 years with New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he has won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship eight times and held various other titles in the promotion.
Tanahashi recently spoke with “Number Web,” where he revealed that he believes his active career is coming to an end. He said,
“The end of my active career is in sight. So before the Coronavirus outbreak, I think I could have retired with peace of mind thinking, New Japan is fine now and I’ve done my best. New Japan Pro Wrestling, which had a lot of excitement, has once again been forced to struggle due to factors other than themselves, such as the Coronavirus, so we want to make it exciting once again…”
