If there’s no tears, Tanahashi tapes it up.
This weekend, Hiroshi Tanahashi is scheduled for two matches under the AEW banner. He’ll be taking on Swerve Strickland on the second episode of Collision and on Sunday, Tanahashi is challenging MJF for the AEW World Championship.
Going into his weekend, he spoke with Mirashiru by Dai-ichi Life and was asked how he deals with injuries and deciding when to consult a doctor. Tanahashi stated that if a ligament is torn, he’ll talk with a doctor but if that’s not the case, he’ll just tape himself up.
I think it (consulting a doctor) depends on whether the ligament is torn or not. If the ligament is just stretched, then I tape it myself. That’s how I deal with it.
The Forbidden Door match card was previewed on Rewind-A-Dynamite and that clip can be found on the POST Wrestling YouTube channel.
