A professor of psychology on the west coast wrote that idolizing "any one person inevitably leads to disappointment." But that guy never met Jushin "Thunder" Liger.
I, on the other hand…did.

I've had the privilege of calling multiple Jushin "Thunder" Liger matches, and for that I will be eternally grateful. Liger was a tremendous inspiration for me becoming involved in pro-wrestling, and I am honored that he came to our little corner of the world.#ThankYouLiger pic.twitter.com/sOQOTYnO9T

#ThankYouLiger @Liger_NJPW for an amazing, influential and trend setting career. It was a pleasure every time I had the privilege of competing against you. Also hello to @facdaniels & @EdgeRatedR since they are great brothers pictured in this random motley crew here. pic.twitter.com/8nHxSmADB2

Hey #ThankYouLiger one time in PWG you sacrificed your asshole to save mine from Tommaso Ciampa’s thumb then you danced around and for some reason we fought in slow motion also you’re the most tan man ever even though only your hands show

The “goosebumps” in wrestling sometimes don’t come as much as I was a kid.

But every time the beat drops of Jushin Thunder Liger’s theme the goosebumps are right there.

Thank you for being such a huge part of my life.#ThankYouLiger pic.twitter.com/UTcuUg8Uoj

Just watched Jushin Thunder Liger’s last match in the parking lot of a Halal guys in Jersey and it wasn’t much different from watching his 8 hour Best of on my portable DVD player in my school bus! Wonderful! #ThankYouLiger
