Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Master Wato

[6.0] "Solid enough little bout. Wato teasing the upset win at the end was fun. For an opening match on a Road To show it's about all you can expect. ***"

[4.0] "A really uninteresting short match with a bad final stretch. Certainly a missed occasion in Tana's last Road. **1/4"

[5.0] "Adequate but unremarkable stop on the Tanahashi tour. Wato was his usually mid self. Couple of okay spots, couple of hiccups."

[6.0] "(Sorry english is not my first language) It was alright, they show some good moves but still i want more from last matches from Hiroshi"

[7.0] "I really enjoyed this match despite the two having very different styles. Wato got to shine a lot throughout the match and I really hope 2026 will be his year"

[5.0] "While the idea of a heavyweight vs light heavyweight match is always fun, the execution here wasn't particularly great. It mostly just went through its paces before coming to a predictable ending. SINGLES RECORD: Hiroshi Tanahashi 1-0"
