Hiroshi Tanahashi
Hiroshi Tanahashi is a Japanese wrestler who is associated with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). With the promotion, he has earned numerous titles and accolades, including being a two-time IWGP Intercontinental Champion and an eight-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion. He is currently one of the best in-ring performers in the world. Brought up in Ōgaki, Gifu, Tanahashi didn’t dream of becoming a wrestler and was instead a baseball player in high school. His rendezvous with wresting happened when he was in Ritsumeikan University where he took part in wrestling events. During this time, Tanahashi was noticed by NJPW talent scouts and was asked to try out for the NJPW Dojo. He made his professional debut in 1999 in a wrestling match against Shinya Makabe. His American debut was in 2006, for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Since then, the talented wrestler has come a long way in his career. He is married and has two children.
