Hiroshi Tanahashi is considered to be one of the best talents in the world today, and the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion is one of the top draws in Japan. Ever since his rise to stardom, Tanahashi has won the IWGP Heavyweight title on seven different occasions and has been constantly linked with a move to WWE.

Tanahashi has wrestled in North America before, working for CMLL as well as TNA on a couple of occasions. While TNA was unable to successfully use the services of Tanahashi and Okada, Tanahashi is rightfully called a “Once in a century talent”, or the “100 Nen ni 1 – ri no Itsuzai” in Japanese. Tanahashi has also put on numerous 5-star matches against the likes of Shibata, Okada and the current NXT superstar, Shinsuke Nakamura.
