Gabe Kidd has a deeper relationship with Hiroshi Tanahashi.
Kidd faced Kenny Omega at NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty, and the bout sparked a lot of buzz in the wrestling world. They delivered a thrilling match, and the image of NJPW President Hiroshi Tanahashi went viral as well.
In an interview with NJPW's website, Gabe Kidd was asked about the sight of Hiroshi Tanahashi crying after the match, and he discussed his relationship with the NJPW President.
"He knows what I've been through. I was Facetiming him from a psychiatric hospital. I would Facetime with him, and he gave me an hour of his time every day when he knew I was going crazy. So there is a deeper relationship there. We've had our differences, enough that back in April I said I was going to stab him, but in that moment in the Tokyo Dome, he understood who was going to carry this company forward. He understood what the moment meant to me, and he knows what the company means to him. He dedicated his life to this place, too. So it was a realization, and an overwhelmingly emotional one. I'm not one to cry on camera, but I know what emotion he was feeling, and Tokon, fighting spirit, it's built on that emotion. He saw that his company is about to be on the up and I'm sure there was some pride in there as well," Kidd said.
