What is the Ace in Japanese wrestling?

My understanding is the Ace the top star and face of the company. Specifically the Ace does not have to be:
>the shoot best wrestler
>the kayfabe best wrestler
>a current champion
Is this correct?

The ace is the kayfabe best wrestler and is the top champ most of the time

Invented by Meltzer cultists to try and make Tanahashit look like a star and not a cancer on the industry.

They call Hiroshi Tanahashi 'Ace' so I'm assuming it means a wrestler who has shitty matches and never draws any money

Kek. This. I feel so bad for Inoki that he has to watch his baby get destroyed like this. Tanahashit is a fucking disgrace, corrupting NJPW with his ladyboy americanized bullshit. His supposed “popularity” is nothing more than blatant astroturfing. Any real puro fan hates him for what he did to the scene. It’s not even a matter of comparing him to ACTUAL aces like Hashimoto or Fujinami, he’s terrible by every possible metric. Fuck Tanahashit.
