And if we&#8217;re bringing KrisZ on board, it&#8217;s got to be for a big occasion &#8211; and that it certainly is. This Saturday will see the retirement of Japanese wrestling legend Hiroyoshi Tenzan in Sumo Hall, and that needed to be marked here on ProWres Paradise. Alan and Kris run down the career of Tenzan from beginning to end over the course of two and a half hours! Young Lion days, Murder Inc., tag teams with Chono &amp; Kojima, nWo Japan, G1 wins, injuries, classic matches &#8211; it&#8217;s all covered as the guys reminisce fondly about a career that has meant so much to New Japan Pro Wrestling. I think it&#8217;s safe to say you&#8217;ll probably learn something listening to this as Kris drops his wealth of knowledge on us like only he can.
