10 OTHER Chris Jericho Dream Matches That Need To Happen

2. Hiroshi Tanahashi

It is no secret that Chris Jericho wants to wrestle Hiroshi Tanahashi.

When Jericho was preparing to battle AJ Styles in early 2016, Y2J watched as much of Styles’ NJPW work as possible. The one man who stood out throughout it all was the Once in a Century Talent, Hiroshi Tanahashi. If Alpha vs. Omega was a dream match, then Alpha vs. Ace (well, former Ace) has long been on the wish-lists of fans all over.

Age and injuries make this one a little less likely. Tanahashi’s body is on the verge of falling apart, as the years of carrying New Japan Pro Wrestling on his back begin to add up. Whether it is his knees or his torn biceps, Hiroshi Tanahashi is in need of a long break from the squared circle.

Despite this, you will struggle to find two more professional performers than Hiroshi Tanahashi and Chris Jericho. The two would without a doubt be able to construct an engrossing and thrilling wrestling match, and one that spared both bodies in the process.

This would be a great match from a simple pro wrestling standpoint, and the novelty would only add to the thrill.
