"The Ace Of NJPW" Hiroshi Tanahashi recently spoke with Sportskeeda on a variety of topics, including how he will be the star of Forbidden Door since he was the person who first used the name three years ago at the time that AEW was only starting.
Hiroshi Tanahashi said:
“I will be the star of Forbidden Door. I mean, I did think of the name after all. When I first used the term, it was three years ago, and AEW had really only just gotten started. I don’t think anyone really knew how they would develop, but they had some great talent behind them, and I knew we would be onto something great if we crossed over. So coining that phrase, it was my way of putting things into the universe.”
Hiroshi Tanahashi also talked about how he can get wild and fight fire with fire with Jon Moxley.
Hiroshi Tanahashi said:
“If it’s up to him, this will get wild. But I’m expecting that. I can fight fire with fire. He’s a good bit bigger than me, and he has a reputation for being a street fighter. But he’s really precise with every little thing he does. Moxley rarely makes mistakes, and I respect that about him.”
Hiroshi Tanahashi is set to take on Jon Moxley in the main event of tomorrow's AEW and NJPW Forbidden Door Event to crown the Interim AEW World Champion. You can check out Hiroshi Tanahashi's comments at this link.
