Ryuji Ito

[8.0] "The longevity of Japan's deathmatch wrestlers is honestly insane - Jun, Ryuji, Abdullah, all realistically should've retired a decade ago but yet they keep going and going and going. Ryuji obviously can't do what he used to, but in his prime few could touch what he was doing in deathmatches. Can still put on a decent enough match, especially in a tag, and seems to understand his limitations. Watch anything he did around 2005/10 if you want to see him at his best."

[8.0] "Charismatic and explosive in the ring, always exciting to see bust out his hybrid style of technical wrestling combined with hardcore/deathmatch stuff. Imagine Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat brought to life."

[5.0] "All gore and no charisma. This guy's decade on top of the deathmatch scene in Japan has exposed him as a torture porn hack. Try having an actual match, dude. Jun Kasai he is not."

[7.0] "This comes from a Jun Kasai admirer: Ryuji Ito is good but he takes things too far and too often. He has the skills but seemingly lacks Crazy Monkey's creativity and fills in with some of the most disturbing stunts I've seen in a wrestling ring, just for the shock factor. Still way way above any death match wrestler I've seen bar perhaps pre-first neck injury Tomoaki Honma."

[9.0] "Ryuji Ito is probably the greatest deathmatch wrestler to ever step into a ring. His matches are hardcore, good, and BLOODY."

[9.0] "One of the best wrestlers of the genre "hardcore" in the world, with very insane and fun matches."
