What Does Tanahashi’s Already Injured Shoulder Look Like After Submitting?

Like this, apparently. Content of the Tweet translated to “screaming”:

Ooof. It was a phenomenal match on the first night of the G1 Climax between Zack Sabre Jr. and Hiroshi Tanahashi with Zack attacking his shoulder with his trademark crazy stretches and Tanahashi trying to take out Zack’s legs, but as Tanahashi has been nursing a shoulder injury for a few months now, the impact of those stretches really have taken its toll and this was only the first night of the round robin competiton! Zack got the upset win, but I really hope Tanahashi doesn’t push himself too hard and risk permanent injury.
