皆様にご心配をおかけしますが、頑張ってきます
There was no further update or details about why Tenzan was hospitalized other than the tweet he sent out. The last time that Tenzan wrestled was in March during the New Japan Cup tournament tour and the veteran turned 48 years old just a few weeks ago.
As more details about Hiroyoshi Tenzan's health become available, we will update you here on Fightful.
Hiroyoshi Tenzan was not at Madison Square Garden for G1 Supercard last night but New Japan Pro Wrestling was represented as ROH and NJPW packed out "The Worlds Most Famous Arena". Fightful had live coverage of G1 Supercard and there was a post-event recap podcast with Mr. Warren Hayes and Sean Ross Sapp and that review is up on the Fightful Pro Wrestling YouTube channel.
