Ep. 1083: Go Ace: The Vast Legacy of Hiroshi Tanahashi

Ep. 1083

The Ace of the Universe, Hiroshi Tanahashi, has retired after 23 years in the industry. Along the way, the work of Tanahashi deeply influenced the wrestling world all over, from saving NJPW from decline to influencing WWE's top level, all the way to shaping independent wrestling here in the Philippines. We dive deep into just how far-reaching Tanahashi's influence is beyond what most wrestling fans can see.
