4. Hiroshi Tanahashi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtZLdB40Ejo The first thing you need to know about Hiroshi Tanahashi is that he has one of the coolest nicknames in professional wrestling, The Once in a Century Talent. He claims that he is so good at wrestling that a guy like him only comes around once every hundred years, thats some high self esteem. A nickname that cool wouldnt be worth anything if he couldnt back it up, and for nearly ten years he has been the franchise player of New Japan Pro Wrestling. He won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship for the first time in 2006 and since then its never too long before hes back in the main event. Hes been referred to as NJPWs John Cena, and while theres some truth to the statement, it comes with unnecessary baggage. Tanahashi has been consistently great and his matches are usually the highlight of any card that hes on, often earning 4.5 stars or higher in the Wrestling Observer. He recently won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship for the seventh time, defeating AJ Styles in October. At WrestleKingdom, he faces long-time foe Kazuchika Okada, who has a guaranteed championship match thanks to winning the 2014 G1 Climax tournament.
