10 Biggest Stories From NJPW's Wrestling Dontaku And What They Mean Going Forward

10. Minoru Suzuki Continues To Spoil Jushin Liger's Farewell Tour

Two months ago Jushin "Thunder" Liger announced he will retire at 2020's Wrestle Kingdom. Since then, the beloved veteran has begun to say his final goodbyes to fans across the world--from New York City to his hometown of Fukuoka. Unfortunately, however, his farewell tour has been constantly spoiled by Minoru Suzuki who has insisted that Liger should quit and go away immediately.

As part of eight-man tag action on Friday, Liger's squad fell to Suzuki-gun following a signature driver from Taka Michinoku on Tiger Mask IV. However, the war between Minoru and the masked legend continued on the entrance ramp after the final bell. With steel chairs in each of their grasp, the two were quickly separated, but its evident their rivalry is growing more serious with every interaction.

Suzuki has seemingly made it his mission to dampen his foe's final year of competition and hopefully end it early. So far Minoru's constant harassment has worked, causing Liger to lose focus in the midst of what should be a cheerful goodbye. At this point, the question isn't if they'll meet in singles action but when--perhaps fittingly on the final night of Liger's career at Wrestle Kingdom.
