  1. It’s the Bull Man of NJPW’s birthday, and I would very much like to give the man his due.

    Tenzan is perhaps the greatest tag team wrestler in NJPW history, being part of two vastly successful tags, Cho-Ten with mentor Masahiro Chono, and Ten-Koji with best friend and fellow Third Generation wrestler Satoshi Kojima.

    Here are some match recommends for this lynchpin of the company:

    1. Tenzan vs Satoshi Kojima: a match where both Tenzan’s IWGP and Kojima’s Triple Crown are on the line as the friends become rival – https://front.njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00285_1_1

    2. Tenzan vs Jun Akiyama: Tenzan takes on NOAH star Akiyama in truly fantastic G1 match – https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7cnu6c

    3. Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima vs Jim Steele & Mike Barton: this is the finals of the 2001 World Tag League, as Ten-Koji takes on the gaijin invaders Steele & Barton (better known as Bart Gunn) – https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7t86nr

    4. Tenzan vs Toshiaki Kawada: here, Tenzan plays the role of heel invader, challenging Kawada in AJPW for the Triple Crown, in just a brutal and stiff contest – https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7tzu3d

    5. Tenzan vs Hirooki Goto: in this 2007 encounter, Tenzan takes on Goto, in a battle of the old guard against the new, also Goto is suamilr to Tenzan, in that why both are fantastic singles wrestlers, but have achieve the most success in tags – https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3wlb5

    6. Tenzan vs Hiroshi Tanahashi: Tenzan takes on young Tana in the finals of the 2004 G1, and helps get the younger man over with the fans – https://front.njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00279_2_1_1
