[4.0] "Original comment was left on Sep 10 '22. Since then I have to change things up a bit to reflect the two very different experiences I have with him: Firstly "Kendo Nagasaki". Of the two Kendo Nagasaki's I've seen, this is the laughable one. Once taking off the grill plated mask, all I could ever do was laugh AT him. He looked ridiculous and was a cheap knock off of The Great Kabuki. Terrible. 0.5. Next The Dragon Master, which... this works. He had a singles match against Sting that was awkward but his tag & six man tags are perfectly acceptable, one rung above 'just another body" but still. 6.5. this leaves us with a 3.5 rounded up. This does not mean a score change. Just more depth to the reasoning."

[7.0] "Kendo Nagasaki was a really talented guy during his run. Unfortunately he's less remembered compared to other Japanese wrestlers who made a name for themselves in the American territories."

[7.0] "You can tell by watching this guy wrestle with how technical he is and how fluid he was why Bret Hart acknowledges this guy so much with helping him in his training"
