Yoshitatsu

[6.0] "Solid wrestler who is looked down upon / seen as a joke due to his time in WWE. Is capable of having good matches, never going to be a big star but he's still somebody who was way better than WWE portrayed him to be."

[5.0] "Was always an enjoyable but unremarkable wrestler when used on TV. As many others have said, I didn't mind him but have no strong feelings either way. A decent part of the lower card of WWE at the time."

[7.0] "His match vs AJ Styles at NJPW Power Struggle was a showcase of his talent. He was never going to be a main event level talent in the US, but I still think he was tasted in his WWE run."

[7.0] "Actually not a half bad wrestler, some very good matches. He has the charisma and the look to be a solid mid-carder. WWE did not do him justice he lost much of his prime where he could have been doing something good in Japan. Also what a great theme song."

"Only a comfort wrestler for people who only watch WWE, seriously his comedy runs in NJPW was flat-out bad, and he's semi-serious representation in AJPW and now NOAH make my nose bleed. If people still like him regardless than fair enough"

[10.0] "So low. What a wrestler! I like his in ring work, charisma. He is just too good to be rated that low. He got that technic skills. He never fell down. He rises every time he ages. He is one of these people who realized his talent when he got older. One of the best wrestler I ever watched."

[5.0] "Good enough cruiserweight for the WWE but was never going far in that company. Heard he had more success elsewhere."

[4.0] "He ist not good not bag. He ist to poor for New Japan and he ist enough poor for WWE. But he was solid jobben in WWE and NXT."

[7.0] "A really fun character in WWE, one of the greatest commentators in NJPW, and a surprisingly good wrestler in AJPW. He has been consistently entertaining for about a decade so I personally really like him."

[8.0] "I just wanted to go out of my way to say that yes, he was a bum in WWE. Yes, he was a bum in NJPW. But since coming to AJPW he has developed into a really solid hand and has proven he is much better than people try to sell him as based on his previous failures. I always get excited when I see him on a card and that says something about how far he has come."

[5.0] "The very definition of "absolutely average": I think the high point of his career was the terrible injury he suffered in that 2015 match against AJ Styles, which says quite a lot. In AJPW he continues to be absolutely average: not bad but not any good either. In a way he's basically like NJPW's Yoshihashi, but with better costumes and marketing."

[5.0] "Yoshitatsu isn't great, but he isn't that bad either. He works well enough as a mentor to the undercard over at All Japan."

[9.0] "Have always loved Yoshi Tatsu since I was a kid with barely any idea of what made professional wrestling appealing, and he's still got that hold on me as a very solid undercard member of the AJPW roster. Much better than his reputation on here might suggest."

[5.0] "He's never been good, I'd have to admit. Even in his Young Lion rookie days where he was being paired up with sensational talent he was always meh, never really being anything but a good hand that could work, but not to any reasonable extent, just being borderline in every capacity. Went to WWE and jobbed endlessly as a comedy low card talent, which wasn't exactly a waste of his capabilities considering he was still not great in the ring and needed carrying to be even somewhat remarkable. NJPW seemed to be grooming him for a big push when he came back by having him against Styles but he flopped badly in the match as the leader of "Hunter Club" even with Styles carrying him as aggressively as he could, and then not only was injured and put out of action for two years, but then started pretending to be Triple H, which killed anything that really remained of his legitimacy. Currently in AJPW where people have the illusion that he's much better because he's in the ring with guys like Suwama and Miyahara, but if he's not working with at least one of those two then he's usually pretty forgettable. Fine, but nothing more."

[6.0] "Yoshi Tatsu is best known for being a jobber in ECW, and an early version of NXT. However, his career improved greatly joining All Japan Pro Wrestling. Despite injuries, Yoshi can still go and put on good matches, whether it being singles or tag team."

[8.0] "Honestly, this is a guy who got way better later in his career, His run in All Japan is currently pretty damn good."

[9.0] "Underrated! great wrestler! In WWE he did well at frist but made him a jobber. That was so sad. his best was in his native land Japan."

[7.0] "Since joining AJPW Yoshitatsu has gotten better as a in ring worker. His time in WWE was not very good and his brief return to NJPW was okay but nothing spectacular. Since coming to AJPW he has gotten better in his overall ring work and presentation"

[7.0] "Do you rate his current/recent work or his whole career up to this point? Impressive rookie in NJPW who stagnated in WWE and mangled his neck upon coming back home. Goes on to become one of the perceived worst in wrestling by the time he left NJPW in 2017 but becoming one of the greatest comeback stories in recent times by the end of the very same year. Do you blame NJPW for refusing to work with him and making him a geek on purpose? Do you blame Yoshi for perhaps not being motivated during these ghastly low periods which might have led to his bad treatment? Who knows. Regardless, we're a few years into the Yoshitatsu redemption run with him showing himself a good, if somewhat limited, midcarder who has shocking chemistry with some of AJP's top stars and a great tag-team wrestler. His current work gets a 7 from me. His overall career's been such a roller coaster I wouldn't know how to rate it."

[8.0] "Average in WWE, poor in New Japan, but Yoshi has finally found his home in All Japan and has improved so much since he first joined. Now an extremely solid singles and tag worker who can hang with the best in the promotion."

[4.0] "Yoshitatsu isn't a bad wrestler, but he's not good enough to even remotely stand out. And his run in WWE, as well as his run in New Japan after returning, completely destroyed his credibility, so that doesn't help his case, either."

[2.0] "I haven't seen his AJPW work so this rating is based on his dreadful run in New Japan. Terrible wrestler and probably the worst commentator of all time."

[7.0] "His gotten better since coming to apw. Play a a great underdog and can take a hell of a beating. Completely different guy from his njpw and wwe runs"

[7.0] "His work in AJPW has been consistently good, not amazing but much better than his work in NJPW. He's come a long way in the last couple of years alone."

[6.0] "I remember when he first appeared on WWE and I was very curious to where he was going to go, honestly there was nothing to stop him becoming a believable midcarder but it wasn't to be, he has been working in Japan for the last few years and hoenstly I find it a much better fit for him."

[6.0] "Pre injury it would had been a 6 but after his injury, he as been dreadful. Terrible gimmick, sticks up the the place. One of the rare few people that got sent back from excursion due to being terrible. EDIT: The past few months he has improved tremendously. Maybe that's just down to him teaming with Kento miyahara but got to give him credit. Was a 3, not a 6."

[2.0] "YoshiTatsu is just not a good wrestler. At one point he showed potential, had some good matches as a Young Lion, then he went to WWE, didn't accomplish much of anything, then returned to NJPW, took a bad Styles Clash, broke his neck, and got worse. He kills crowds when he's in the ring, has the least believable offense on the NJPW roster, and just isn't good. Thankfully he's stuck in undercard tag matches that are easily skippable."

[3.0] "Simply unimpressive wrestler, from in-ring or character standpoint. He's only good to be utilised as a jobber."

[4.0] "Yoshitatsu's neck injury happened at a horrible point in his career. He was always solid enough to have a good match, and since his return from a botched Styles Clash, he hasn't been the same."

[2.0] "I kinda feel bad for the guy. He obviously loves sports entertainment but I think he would have had better success with a different career choice. He was never great in ring but lately he seems to have gotten worse. Maybe its just that NJPW hasn't given him a chance to shine but the few times he was given something of a chance he didn't deliver, and in one instance ended up getting his neck broken. His kicks look sloppy, his psychology is virtually nonexistent and he doesn't even have a good look. Hes like the polar opposite of the total package. At least he was pretty athletic early on in his career."

[4.0] "Not good, not bad. IŽve seen him in wwe and in njpw and he fits better with the comedy underdog jobber than anything else. NOt very good athleticism, not a lot of charisma, not flashy movies, bad promo."

[3.0] "Yoshitatsu was always a decidedly average worker, and it would seem that he's been taken down a few pegs by his career-threatening injury. At first I thought it was ring rust, but he's had plenty of time to shake that off. The HHH parody gimmick is super cringe-worthy as well."

[4.0] "He's ring skill in WWE was good, but in New Japan he got worse. now he is mocking Triple H's entrance and moves, even his finishing move (pedigree) and Not impressive of his gimmick, he called himself against bullet club known as "Hunter Club.. ? " that's stupid thing I ever seen.. hope he change he's gimmick as soon as possible."

[6.0] "I have only seen him in WWE and not Japan. In WWE he never received the proper push he deserved. He could easily have been Intercontinental Champion. He had a good move set and a good look but he was very frequently used as a jobber. Overall he could have had a better carrier in WWE but I hope he is doing better in Japan."

[3.0] "Yoshitatsu's career is unfortunate. There was a point where he had potential to be a solid midcard act who you could count on for solid midcard matches, but that part of his career was squandered. Once he was finally put in a position to succeed, arriving in NJPW, he got injured, and lost years of his career. Now he's back, and being pushed somewhere between the midcard and the upper-midcard, but between age, rust, and injury, he's just looking terrible. His offense is ugly, he looks completely blown up even after sitting out most of the match, and his selling has been pitiful. And that's not even getting into his Triple H tribute/parody gimmick, which is just baffling. I shouldn't be surprised; given the relative creative freedom of being on a C show with nobody in the brass watching, he feuded over an action figure. His ideas are at least unique, but not compelling. The Triple H gimmick, aside from being bizarre, is performed with such a lack of passion that it's almost depressing. And Yoshi is just not any good at Triple H's signature moves. I've never seen a worse spinebuster in my life. I really hope Yoshi can shake off the rust, power through the injury, lose the bad gimmick, and find it in himself to have a good run in NJPW while he's still got his push. But it's not looking likely."

[5.0] "Yoshi Tatsu had excellent start in ECW back in 2009 with being super over with the crowd from the beginning. Unfortunately, a cheery, full of life persona like himself will only take you to be lightly in the long run. From 2010-2014 he was basically reduced to jobber line status fighting in matches on Superstars with little growth or character development coming from him. If only the guy had some more oomph to him, he could of been something special. Alas, he was criminally wasted by the WWE."

[10.0] "Yoshi Tatsu Is a Very Underrated Wrestler. He made his debut in New Japan and had a good run there until 2007 when he left New Japan and Joined WWE but after than he had a good run in ECW. But after when ECW was Removed. He became Jobber coming time to time in Raw and Smackdown and losing the matches and became largely a enhanced wrestler in Superstars before he was released from WWE and never got a chance to show what he can do. Not his mistakes i think wwe don't know how to use Japanese wrestlers. But after than he came back to New Japan and had a strong showing in his match vs Aj Styles at Power Struggle 2014. But he was injured from that match and out from months now. Hope when he come back He get a chance to prove himself."

[9.0] "Yoshi Tatsu has amazing in-ring skills and has a great character. He didn't have the best mic skills, but that's understandable due to lack of English. I'm disappointed in WWE for wasting his talent, but now he's off to do better things in NJPW and the independent circuit. I'm looking forward to what he is going to accomplish. His match with AJ Styles at Power Struggle 2014 proved that WWE wasted a potential star in their company. He looked amazing."

[7.0] "Yoshi did not have many opportunities to see him fighting because WWE confine his talent, despite having a visibly weak Mic Skill, I think he could make the talent in the ring because it is an agile wrestler."
