Tanahashi San,
I wish I could put into words how much just being around you as a young man meant to me.
You showed so many of us how important it is to be kind & respectful to every person you came into contact with.
Getting to travel japan with you was one of the most rewarding things I ever experienced as it showed me exactly who I want to be as a wrestler & human being.
You set the bar for all of us.
So honoured to get to witness your last ride in a sold out Tokyo dome.
Thank you for everything and congratulations on an amazing career.
