>[STARDOM] Tam Nakano puts an end to her wrestling career, embracing the "aesthetics" she wanted to uphold since her idol days
>Tam Nakano, who lost in a loser retirement match against world champion Saya Kamitani (28) at the Yokohama Arena event of the women's professional wrestling "Stardom" on the 27th, put an end to her nine-year career as a wrestler. Some fans shed tears at the retirement of the leading figure who was loved by many fans and colleagues through professional wrestling and led the group. What is the aesthetic that Nakano wanted to adhere to even if it meant risking her whole life?
>She faced off against her rival, Kamitani, with the title at stake and her retirement at stake. She used a succession of her signature moves to attack the champion, but after a fierce battle lasting 26 minutes and 9 seconds, she was hit with her own special move, "Twilight Dream," and received a three-count.
>Nakano took the microphone and called out to the fans, "Don't forget about Tam for the rest of your life," and left the ring with Kamitani's help. Though her body was in tatters, she looked refreshed and said, "I gave it my all and lost, so I have no regrets. I left all my feelings in the ring. But I want you to never forget Tam Nakano and to continue to love me. I want you to carry me with you for the rest of your lives."
>Nakano, who had aspired to become an actress, worked as an idol before making her pro wrestling debut at the Actress Girls Shinkiba tournament in July 2016. After leaving the company in June of the following year, she appealed to join Stardom and joined in November of the same year.
>The aesthetic that Nakano wanted to achieve since her idol days was to "be someone's number one," but after becoming a professional wrestler, this changed to "becoming an indelible memory for people."
