Low Ki's Twitter said:
Due to @alljapan_pw not honoring their contractual obligations of medical care after being injured in AJPW, I'm retiring from Pro Wrestling

Sad to see him go. I enjoyed his work in TNA and his (very) brief stint in WWE.

Companies killin' the will of true athletes, UGH. Still, this is a wrestling retirement so I'll be happy when he's back in the ring a few months.

Isn't the dude notoriously an asshole? Just rumours I've been hearing - burning bridges with your smaller companies like TNA/ROH, physicality backstage, working stiff af on WWE TV etc

Retirement likely not legit because that would be a life changing tender moment: not an opportunity a bury a company you perceive has done you wrong.

Should it be anywhere near a legit retirement quite sad to see as he is a very gifted performer.

He was at a show in Australia not too long ago, people bitched about his stiff work but they said he was pretty nice backstage nonetheless. Sucks to see him retire, he always had potential.

Only reason why he's probably retiring is because he's likely run out of places to work, and AJPW was his last hope.

Good talent for his style, and at Indie level had a good career with being the first ROH Champion being maybe the highlight. Also did decent in his first TNA run and to have been involved in both WWE and AJPW would have made him some good money.

If this is for real I wish him well.

Tajiri jr retired? When did he go to All Japan? Last I seen him he was in New Japan working in a suit, must've fucked up bad to go to All Japan with their sinking ship. No money to be made there, why the fuck would he expect them to pay his bills?
