>Tanahashi: I spent a lot of time back then watching my matches back and thinking about how I could have done things better. It was around this time I started watching Shawn Michaels, and that really changed the way I look at wrestling.
>–What got you into watching Michaels?
>Tanahashi: I think it was the TV (WWE) were putting out here at the time. You know, as a fan I never watched American wrestling, but watching him from a pro’s perspective, I really appreciated just how good he was. He wasn’t a big hulking guy, wasn’t as athletic as Kota Ibushi is, say. So I really wanted to watch him to see just why he was at the top of the heap.
