“Did you know that Danshoku Dieno vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi was 2025’s Bryan Danielson vs. Blue Panther? It was. If you disagree, you haven’t seen it. Here’s the thing: among those four names, Danshoku Dieno isn’t the odd man out. Bryan Danielson, Blue Panther, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Danshoku Dieno all exemplify the most important concept of professional wrestling — the one that makes the working actually work, if you follow. Dieno understands what he’s doing, and how to do it, and most importantly how to make you respond to it, better than virtually anyone left standing. He’s not a “doing moves” wrestler, and thanks to mid-2010s PWG infecting the wrestling consciousness like aggressive brain cancer, we have way too many “doing moves” wrestlers anyway. Dieno focuses on the more crucial work of building a bond between audience and performer, and then playing on that bond as his art. There are people who will work ten WrestleManias in their career and never generate even a fraction of the audience connection that Dieno manages in Korakuen Hall. It’s harder than doing moves, it’s harder than UWFi, it’s harder than deathmatches. Only those elite practitioners like Tanhashi or Blue Panther or Danshoku Dieno can make it look easy. If you don’t get why he’s over, get over yourself.” ~ pto
