Former WWE Tag Team Champion Tajiri has indicated that he may retire from professional wrestling at some time in the near future.

Tajiri has worked for a number of promotions all around the world including ECW, WWE, New Japan Pro-Wrestling and All Japan Pro-Wrestling.

Speaking at a press conference to herald his arrival to new wrestling promotion Kyushu Pro Wrestling, Tajiri revealed that his run with the company would be in last in the world of professional wrestling:

“Thank you for coming today. I am TAJIRI, and I look forward to working with you. I was born in Tamana, Kumamoto Prefecture. I am now 52 years old, and I don’t think I have much time left in my wrestling career, so I think that joining Kyushu Pro Wrestling is the beginning of the end, or the end of my career.

“At my age, I want to be the champion and have hot matches, but more than that, I want to nurture the younger generation.

“When I told this story to Chikuzen, he said that he would be very interested in having me work in Kyushu, and I thought that this would be an organization where I could demonstrate my abilities to the best of my ability.”
