   Edit: I’ll be adding links throughout the day for those who wanna enjoy some Tenryu-San!

2. To the black sheep of AJPW, happy birthday Tenryu enjoy a thunderstorm.

3. An absolute legend of the highest degree. His stuff holds up remarkably well.

4. How did he not kill Shibata with that hanging ddt out of the ring.

5. Man I love Tenryu but boy that enziguri is one of the worst versions I’ve seen, for a guy known for his stiffness he always throws them with little impact
