| 505 | 30.07.2019 | KyleEnjoysWrestling | 10.0 | Where I think Okada is greatly overrated today, I do not say the same in regards to Tanahashi. He is a great storyteller in the ring & has a vast moveset. Has had heaps of classic matches against a plethora of different talents on the NJPW roster. And he has the best hair in wrestling today. |

| 511 | 01.07.2019 | NEVERoverweightChampion | 10.0 | A legend and one of the best of all time. Charismatic, beloved, great physique, awesome music... he is the greatest hero, the perfect babyface. He knows how to put a match together better than anyone, how to make every move feel important, he is one of the best (if not the best) in psychology. His moveset can work in every dynamic, face or heel. Even past his prime and in poor physique condition he can still put some legendary match from time to time and that's a testament to the genius he is, at the point that 2018 was probably one of his best year because he had one of the hottest underdog story I've ever seen. There is definitely nobody like The Ace, he is the soul of New Japan. |

| 514 | 14.06.2019 | PuroresuLover | 10.0 | Another wrestler that I forgot to rate. Hiroshi Tanahashi is the personification of the word "perfect", he has everything to be one of the GOATs, he knows everything about wrestling, he can do everything! He is an born babyface, but can portray an awesome heel (his matches out of NJPW proves my point). Tanahashi really is the Once in a Century Talent, he has everything to be any company's Ace. |

| 516 | 26.05.2019 | SrHunter | 10.0 | There is not much to say about this guy, just one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time and one of my favorites, simples as that. |
| 517 | 20.05.2019 | Dooby | 10.0 | There was a time when I was over Hiroshi Tanahashi. I used to think he kept winning matches that he either didn't need to or shouldn't have won. What I'm trying to say is there was probably a point where he should've stepped out from the spotlight already, or at least I thought. The character of Tanahashi presents himself as perfection, yet I would call him one of the most flawed wrestlers ever in regards to character work which is why he eventually became one of my favorite wrestlers ever. His rise to the top was by no means an easy one. From his wars against his fellow musketeers Shibata and Nakamura, to his wars with previous generation rivals like Nagata, Kojima and Mutoh to rivals after his generation like Okada and Naito. It really felt like every step of his long and painful climb to the top meant something important in the history of Puroresu. Along the way he had to step on and over people even fighting against his own hypocrisy to achieve the title of "Ace". Eventually it clicked in my head that there wasn't anyone on the roster who could've held up New Japan on their shoulders with such grace like this man. In regards to his wrestling skills, he just understands completely what it means to just "do" good pro wrestling. I don't think this comment will ever do justice to how much I appreciate this man. |

| 525 | 06.04.2019 | AJStylopz | 10.0 | Tanahashi truly is one of the GOATs of the Puroresu scene. One of the most iconic wrestlers ever. I love his old school style of wrestling, he is a good seller for the most part, he can get to higher paces during a match, busts out some of the nastiest looking suplexes I've seen, has a tremendous finisher, he is truly one of the best. This man deserves nothing less than a 10. |

| 527 | 16.03.2019 | zephyr | 10.0 | The ace of the universe. The once in a century talent. In a rather interesting twists, these aren't just nicknames for a wrestler - they're factual statements. This man pretty much singlehandedly carried NJPW through and out of its darkest era. |

| 529 | 01.03.2019 | Oliver95x | 7.0 | Ich mag Tanahashi. Er hat Charisma und auch soweit gute Matches. Jedoch finde ich ihn im Ring einfach zu langweilig. Ich habe das Gefühl das seine Matches immer die gleichen sind. Als würde jedes Match mit ihm den gleichen Aufbau und die gleiche Struktur haben. Es ist einfach immer das gleiche. |
| 530 | 24.02.2019 | Aurtletheturtle | 10.0 | An underdog for the mantle of greatest of all-time. The Ace of the Universe is possibly the greatest babyface of all-time as he perhaps the only one to be universally loved throughout the entirety of his run. With endless charisma, boundless talent and unbelievable heart! It's easy to see why he is an 8 time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion when he continues to this day, in his 40s, to perform at an extrodinary level. One of the most important wrestlers in Japanese history. GO ACE! |

| 533 | 27.01.2019 | LandonRyanWyatt | 8.0 | Definitely Japan's greatest sensation of this generation. Has cemented his place in wrestling history in the most positive of ways. |

| 536 | 17.01.2019 | ReedPryorNY | 10.0 | Hiroshi Tanahashi is THE big match wrestler of this generation. If you give this man a main event, you're only going to get an installment of something that is as epic as it is unique. He has worked all-time classics with so many of New Japan's finest, it is scary to think of the current match-ups he can have for the IWGP Heavyweight Title if New Japan sticks with him for a good amount of 2019. Just to name a few great matches-vs Minoru Suzuki on 10/8/2012... vs Kazuchika Okada on 4/7/2013, 1/4/2015, 1/4/2016, 8/12/2016, 5/4/2018, 8/10/2018, 9/23/2018... vs Tomohiro Ishii on 8/2/2013... vs AJ Styles on 8/14/2015... vs Shinsuke Nakamura on 8/16/2015... vs Kota Ibushi on 11/5/2017 and on 8/12/2018... with Will Ospreay vs Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi on 12/15/2018... against Kenny Omega on 1/4/2019. |
| 537 | 13.01.2019 | Cibs | 10.0 | For me Tanahashi is the last great legend of New Japan. Incredible wrestler, his storytelling and psychology are pure gold to the degree that it can become really dramatic to see him up in the ring thanks to the way he gets you involved. His matches don't need inflated ratings to feel epic. |

| 546 | 09.11.2018 | KING | 10.0 | The Ace of the Universe, his ability to deliver epic matches with everyone is almost scary, he will bring the best out of everyone, able to be the suffering babyface against Suzuki but also the angry veteran against Ibushi, there's nothing he can't do except being a heel because nobody would dare boo him, but against Okada he proved he can be a bad guy as well, explosive and strong, with his power declining he constantly improved when it comes to psychology, at New Beginning against Suzuki he looked injured for real. A real pop icon in Japan, the Japanese not John Cena, but Hulk Hogan, but talented lol |

| 550 | 15.10.2018 | RatingsMachine | 10.0 | Hiroshi Tanahashi is so great that despite his physical limitations, he is still capable, through storytelling and psychology, to have incredible matches. Because Tanahashi can't do everything he used to, some people have decided that that means he isn't as a good as he used to be, but nothing could be further from the truth. Hiroshi Tanahashi is still one of the best going, and a certified legend and hall of famer. |

| 553 | 23.09.2018 | Speeble | 6.0 | I never really got Tanahashi when I first started watching NJPW, but I wanted to hold off judgement until I'd seen enough big matches. A couple years later, I still don't get him. His "charisma" feels really forced and the air guitar gimmick is not endearing at all. Among the elite wrestlers in NJPW, his matches often come across as the most formulaic. I can't get into a match where I can practically predict the whole thing beat-for-beat. At least Okada tries to mix up his finishing sequences. Tanahashi's contributions to the business are undeniably important, but that doesn't make me enjoy watching him as a performer any more. |

| 565 | 31.07.2018 | ohnoes | 8.0 | There's a lot that I like about the Ace. His music (both the old and new), his entrance, his poses, his attire, the air guitar, his likeable character, his hair. And yes, I like his in-ring work... but for the life of me, I can't figure out why I don't like him more than most. He can put on consistently good matches with almost anyone, and has had several memorable feuds and matches with the biggest names in New Japan over his lengthy career, but I usually go away from his matches not knowing what to say about them. I sometimes forget parts of his matches, and what he did in them besides his signature moves. His forearm exchanges are usually pretty weak-looking, or at least they do when the likes of Shibata, Ishii and Suzuki are there to make the entire venue hear the impact. He's deeply rooted in his own approach and philosophy to puroresu, and while I like that from Shibata, I unfairly like it less from Tanahashi. Regardless, I'm still a fan of him, and deeply respect everything he's accomplished. Tanahashi is deserving of all the praise he's given, and all the accolades bestowed upon him. He did carry New Japan when it desperately needed someone to do so, he's been such a key player for so long. When he finally retires (whenever that might be), although there are future 'aces' that will come along to carry New Japan, there won't ever be another 'Ace' quite like him. |

Sein Einmarsch ist immer ein Highlight, High Energy ist so ein klasse Song. Er ist unfassbar charismatisch, total sympatisch und einer meiner absolut Lieblings Wrestler aus Japan. Schon jetzt eine absolute NJPW Legende. Edit: 11. 06. 2018 Hiroshi sieht man nun sein Alter an und er hat schon mit einigen Verletzungen zu kämpfen trotzdem hat er es immer noch drauf. |

| 579 | 02.06.2018 | Makai Club | 10.0 | How I haven't rated Tanahashi yet, I do not know. Hiroshi Tanahashi is no doubt one of the best wrestlers in the past 20 years. Someone who has filled loads of roles, ace, passer of the touch, someone who makes other look good. He can do it all and more. Highly charismatic and the way he shows it off within the ring and in presence is something to behold. Amazing wrestler, basically popularized the modern day new japan style. Great pacing, great structure and psychology towards all of his matches. Sometimes he spams the HFF too much and has a tendency to no sell but he makes up for it in other ways. Very good at building drama and tension within his match and has a way of sucking you into the most tamest of near falls. Saved New Japan in the mid 00's and helped usurer in a new and very successful era for New Japan. GO ACE! |
| 580 | 01.06.2018 | InactiveGuru | 8.0 | Tanahashi is known as the Ace of Japan. He is incredible in the ring and he just radiates charisma. I am hoenstly baffled why I don't like him more than I do. |

| 586 | 30.03.2018 | ACRoger | 10.0 | At a time when Japan was lacking legitimate stars, Hiroshi Tanahashi broke out in NJPW as the Ace and biggest draw in the company. His ability to connect with the crowd and draw them in is fantastic. I don't think there is anyone in the last 10 years that is better at the psychological aspects of wrestling than Tanahashi, his timing and execution is near flawless, even when racked with injuries. His rivalry with Okada brought the company back into prominence and completely reinvigorated it. There really is no aspect of wrestling that Tanahashi doesn't excel at: Promos, wrestling, charisma, crowd connection, he can do anything. He absolutely deserves all the credit for saving NJPW during the dark days and making them the best wrestling company in the world. There have and will be wrestlers who draw bigger crowds for NJPW but it none of it would have been possible without the Ace of the Universe. |
| 587 | 23.03.2018 | Gravelord | 10.0 | When the novelty of Inokism began to wear off around 2003 and NJPW was left the verge of bankruptcy by 2006, many onlookers within the wrestling world were already signing the death certificates for the promotion. Even when Yuke's purchased 54% of the company and forced Antonio Inoki out, NJPW was still left without any credible stars, as the Third Generation (Yuji Nagata, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Manabu Nakanishi, and Satoshi Kojima) had either been embarrassed and marginalized in favour of MMA fighters during Inokism or, in Kojima's case, seen the writing on the wall and left the company in protest. If NJPW was to rebuild, it needed a transcendent star akin to the famed Three Musketeers (Shinya Hashimoto, Keiji Mutoh, and Masahiro Chono) who carried NJPW to mainstream success during the 1990s. Enter Hiroshi Tanahashi. He has often referred to himself as a "Once in a Century Talent", a bold claim, but once you watch his body of work, you'll quickly come to realize he ain't bullshiting. Tanahashi is one of those rare (you might say, a Once in a Century) talents who excel at every aspect at pro wrestling, be it in-ring ability, promo skill, unique look that makes him stand out, or even a memorable entrance. However, Tanahashi's best and most important quality if his immense charisma -- that is, his ability to not only draw people to him, but to inspire and evoke emotion from fans and detractors alike (don't believe me? Just watch his match with G1 Climax match with AJ Styles; by the end, his selling has fan crying). After all, pro wrestling is all about drawing fans to come to shows, buy merchandise, and purchase subscription services. Tanahashi is not only the man most responsible for reinvigorating interest in NJPW, but he has managed to endear the product to a once untapped demographic in Japan: female fans. Tanahashi has not only cemented himself as the most important Japanese wrestler of the past 20 years, but also as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time |
