Understandable mistake

1. Does this mean Tanahashi gets to walk out with Pieter? I’ll accept that.

2. This makes solidifies MJF’s argument that he’s just a rando from an rinky-dink Indy fed to a lot of people

3. Me too used to mistake Hiroshi Tanahashi with Hiromu Takahashi.

4. When I first started watching Japanese wrestling I was sure I would never be able to remember all these names, but it’s come pretty easily in the end.

5. I never knew Takahashi and Tanahashi looked so alike. Those two must’ve gotten up to some wild twin shenanigans back in the days.

6. Yeah, I miss type them all the time it feels like

7. He kept his joining of House of Torture quiet.

8. No… that is accurate. The Tokyo Pimp is the ace of the company. Good luck winning the AEW world title, Yujiro!

9. *sigh*

10. I started watching NJPW in 2017 with WK11, I was very confused about there being a Hiromu Takahashi and a Hiroshi Tanahashi

11. a shit-heel rule-breaking tanahashi would be a great way to spend the twilight of his career. hanging on by any means necessary, through both cheating and out-of-the-ring politics to keep getting opportunities and glory in the most cartoonish villainous way possible.

12. Lmao. I mean, is it ?

13. When I first got into New Japan I constantly got Hiromu Takahashi and Hiroshi Tanahashi’s names mixed up and sometimes blended the two together.

14. We watched these two wrestle during a US tour a few years back, and even knowing who they were it was difficult to verbally keep track of which was which.

15. I occasionally make my wife watch or hear about New Japan and this is my favorite part about it.

    *Good Hair is HiroSHI Tanahashi, the cat is HiroMU Takahashi.*

    I normally get a lovely outburst about how impossible this is.

16. It IS NOT an understandable mistake! I wasn’t confused by their names. I called them by what the English commentators called them until I learned. It didn’t take long. For someone to post that without double checking is plain lazy!
    It’s lazy not to know people’s names and who they are after a little while. It’s like saying that all white people look alike, or Black people or Japanese people.

17. 4 life!

18. Understandable.Both are sexy pimps.

19. Great, now I’m having visions of Tana in the HoT and I don’t like it.
