On Tuesday night, New Japan Pro-Wrestling (think WWE but crazier . . . and in Japan) celebrated the retirement of legendary referee Tiger Hattori with a star-studded retirement event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. After 38 years wearing the stripes for the world's second-largest wrestling entertainment brand, the other Tiger wrapped things up in style, officiating two special retirement matches including the likes of Shinjo Takagi, Toru Yano, and more. In the wrestling world, it was cause for celebration and reflection. Elsewhere in the sports niche cosmos, however, the trending hashtag #ThankYouTiger spurred a collective anxiety attack, sending golf Twitter scrambling for the clarity on the status of their own beloved Big Cat.
