Mitsuharu Misawa
Taue meanwhile, largely has phased himself out of the main event and into the midcard due to age and injuries. His only highlights include main eventing the first NOAH show on August 5, 2000 and having one reign with the GHC Heavyweight Championship in 2005. In 2009, following the death of Mitsuharu Misawa, Taue became president of Pro Wrestling NOAH.
