Today is the Ace of the Universe’s birthday. Still going strong to this day.
What are some of your favorite Tanahashi matches and moments?

Since I didn't see a lot of older NJPW, I have to go with his run from G1 28 to WK 13.
I also enjoyed his "My father is a heel wrestler" movie.
Oh yeah, also the hilarity of the whole "If I win, I get YOSHI-HASHI, wait never mind, I don't want him." thing.

Unfortunately, his knees turned 80.
Only been into NJPW the last few years, but his IC title defence against Suzuki is one of the best ref stoppage finishes I've seen.

One of the greatest natural babyfaces of all time
I still wanted a condescending small heel run from him. When he's in his bag he is such an asshole lol like when he constantly shitted on Shibata about his way of wrestling

When he has the opportunity to be a heel, he has so much joy. It's part of why his 2008 Champion's Carnival run was so good, he was the undisputed heel of the tournament with a rabid Korakuen Hall crowd rooting against him and Tanahashi feeding them exactly what they needed. |

Speaking of Champion's Carnival, Mutoh knees were already finally powdered dust then and it is a miracle he still wrestled all this time But pretty boy arrogant Tana is great. I wish he does something before he fully hangs it up but as the "dad" hanging around he is still putting on good matches |

Well, usually. I do like that NJPW really does not tend to operate on "all of the faces and heels are friends with their alignment members", and especially with the main eventers, they all have losses to avenge with each other and beef to settle. |
