Tanahashi's retirement is what modern masculinity should be

Like everyone else that watched WK20, Okada/Tana had me stunned. Five stars, MOTY, the bar for 2026 so far, etc.

But man, did his entire ceremony afterwards pull my heartstrings. All the legends of NJPW the past 10 years (and Fujinami and Mutoh!!) paying respects to him.

Shibata's part though? The way Tanahashi immediately broke down hearing that music? Those motherfuckers immediately breaking into big chops followed by hugs? That's real man shit. Crying with your brothers in arms and beating the piss outta each other out of love in reverence. Feel like we could learn from that.

To all my young males out there confused by modern life and how to survive in it, live a life that Ace would be proud of. Tell your friends you love them.
