storytelling and getting sympy from fans

the complete package

He was good at being goat. That was his trademark skill.

Being a placeholder until Big Dimes Okada came along and took the company to new heights.

hes unironically the GOAT.

Greatest of all time

He's really good. He can still go despite his age too.

>was
Bros what the fuck happened to Ace?

Yes. Storytelling, selling, muh movez, pacing and timing of matches.

>*still the most popular wrestler in all of Japan in your path*
Tanas fine bro, he just needs to step down from the main event scene , he realises he’s getting to that age

Yes, like Cena I pick on him but yes.

Surely that's Naito?? He's draws the biggest houses when he main events

>was he actually any good?
He literally saved NJPW from dying

A series contender for GOAT and I'm not his biggest fan by any means.

>was he actually any good?
Heresy

GO ACE!

Overrated shitter

He was the best once in a century Ace of the universe there ever was.

Japanese Pro Wrestling Jesus Christ

He's a solid wrestler, good storyteller, has an eye for talent considering he saw something in people like Hangman Page long before anyone else, helps the younger talent grow, and seems like one of the nicest guys on the roster to the fans.

Tanahashi is the Hogan of the post-Attitude era, he just happens to be Japanese.

So I know fuck all when it comes to Gook Wrasslin. Where does this get sit popularity wise against Okada, Nakamura at his NJPW good apex and Naito. For that matter what about those AJPW fags? Mutah and uh....the other three.....?

Probably top 5 all time in terms of popularity, top 3 in terms of significance, top 5 for ring work easily.

having perfect hair no matter what happened, just like jimmy johnson

I used to get shit on for saying this but I still believe it. He's basically Japanese Cena in the ring.

any recommended tanahashi kino match

I think it's time for you gentlemen to leave. Please show yourselves out. I don't want to make a scene because this is an Ace board and he wouldn't want that. I wish you well in your futures but this isn't the place for you.

>pointless and drawn out chain wrestling to start the match
>work the leg to lead into his finish

nah he's 100% Muta/Fujinami

The one everyone creams over is Vs Suzuki in 2012

Okada has already been proven to be a lesser draw than Naito

but user Tana is actually good and not a clumsy oaf

Last year's WK main event was a pretty great example of Tanahashi having superhuman levels of the ability to get fucking over

Tana-Okada II and IV
G1 vs Shibata
Vs Nak WK

Name a better air guitarist. I dare you.

Naito and Tana have been trading it for the last few years
depending on who's getting a better push at the time

This guy knows what’s up

Tana always wins popularity rankings , Naito is always second

BASED

>all that pushing and Okada still can't win these polls

It never fucking stops being funny

depends on how one headcanons

They trade back and forth. Main reason Tana won the last one was because he was heavily featured as the G1 winner and then dethroned Kenny while Naito was spinning his wheels waiting for Jericho to be free.

Naito's almost a lock to win for this year.

Okada is the one who can never reach peak popularity.

It must be shameful hen a fucking charisma vacuum like SANADA is rivaling your spot in these polls

Okadetty

This guy speaks for the entire board
