Speaking to Tokyo Sports ahead of WWE’s trip to Japan later this month, Styles heaped praise on New Japan star Hiroshi Tanahashi. Styles said that the NJPW President would have done “great” in WWE, due to his skills and personality.
“I think he would have done great. Like my own kids, there are a lot of anime fans here. Tanahashi, including his hairstyle, is like an anime character himself, so I think he would have been a hit. Plus, he understands this industry deeply, so he would have definitely succeeded,” said Styles.
Tanashi has been a staple in the world of wrestling for over two decades now. The star first joined NJPW in 1999 and is one of the promotion’s most decorated stars. He’s widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and has had several record reigns as a champion in the company.
