The wrestler mentioned by Shinsuke is his former IWGP Tag Team partner, “The Ace” Hiroshi Tanahashi. He also stated that he wants to fight a new kid on the block, a rising star, someone he doesn’t even know yet. A peculiar choice for a retirement match, one could say.
Shinsuke’s unparalleled record in New Japan Pro Wrestling
Speaking with Renee, ‘The Black Savior’ revealed that he was the youngest ever winner of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in 2003 at the age of 23. The first title run was not what he had pictured, specifically with the stern responses from his coworkers backstage. He explained,
“Actually, I didn’t have no experience. I just needed to do what they wanted…I felt I didn’t have any friends in the company”
