As noted before, NJPW President and talent Hiroshi Tanahashi retired from his in-ring wrestling career at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 20 event earlier this month. Tanahashi had stated in a recent interview with Tokyo Sports that he had plans to get a haircut to after he retires from the ring to cut off the long hair he wore throughout most of his wrestling career.
