”One thing I can say is that Tanahashi had always watched professional wrestling as a whole. He saw All Japan, American wrestling—everything—as professional wrestling. I, on the other hand, genuinely believed that only New Japan was ‘real’ pro wrestling. Tanahashi had that breadth of perspective, while mine was extremely narrow. Looking back now, it’s no surprise our values about pro wrestling were different, and that inevitably caused a lot of friction between us.”
