Jinsei Shinzaki

[8.0] "Very talented highflyer who had a nice variety of moves and strikes, his tag team with Hayabusa in FMW and AJPW was really good. Shinzaki maybe could've been a bigger star"

[9.0] "i always thought that jinsei shinzaki ruled, whether he was using his normal gimmick or the slightly different hakushi one who's basically the force of light to combat the dark like muta and undertaker, he was a super good wrestler way ahead of his time in wwf, so good he never had a set in stone finisher while he was there obviously did amazing in michinoku pro and even had solid time in places like ecw and all japan, he's been all over and exceled in ring everywhere, and for that he deserves this high of a rating"

[9.0] "A verry underrated wrestler who does not get the acknowledgement he deserves. I especially love his tag team work with Hayabusa, particularly their match against Misawa and Akiyama."

[10.0] "I suggest you guys to search for the moves he used like the Mandala Hineri (Reverse Dragon Screw), the Rinne (Pelé Kick), the once used Mugen (Double Elbow Clutch Overhead Suplex) and of course the Ogami Watari. People bash him for being slow and weird, but come on, the guy is supposed to be like a spiritual monk that floats and fly to haunt people, only he is from the light side and a "revived sou" from his match with Muta in 1996. Also, a gentle person that helped people in a 2011 earthquake with food, drinks and shelter. Also, a great mentor for the youngsters from Michinoku Pro environment. And yes, even in the WWF, he didn't need a chosen finishing maneuver to end matches. Amazing athlete still going high fly in his near 60s."

[10.0] "One of the coolest looking wrestlers of all time, I'm not entirely sure how to describe his gimmick, but I love his look. Jinsei Shinzaki is one of the most underrated wrestlers ever, he's agile, he's strong as an ox. I know earlier in his career he wasn't great at transitioning spots, but once he went All Japan in the late 90s, he finally excelled at that too. It's a shame that he only wrestled occasionally in the 2000s due to running Michinoku Pro while Great Sasuke was in politics. But be that as it may, he's still one of the best all rounders that showed much promise, and I thank him for helping bring Fujita "Jr." Hayato to wrestling. All love to the White Angel."

[7.0] "Here is another Japanese wrestler with a style that was lightyears ahead of what the US was used to. He spent a little under a year in the WWF as Hakushi and had a kick ass match with Bret Hart at the first IYH. But then they just treated him like lower mid card fodder until he left in early 96. Dude should have gone to WCW instead."

[9.0] "I freaking love Jinsei Shinzaki. He was only a few years into his career when he turned up to WWF and was an absolute breath of fresh air. He was my gateway into Japanese wrestling"

[6.0] "Jinsei had some pretty awesome looking moves behind him and surprisingly varied career spanning multiple decades, but outside of the athleticism he really struggled to put on a proper match: guy needed to be led around by more competent ring generals and couldn't pace a match to save his life. There's a good reason why the guy is mostly put into tag matches and multi man bouts where his weaknesses are disguised fairly well and he can get his spots in without needing to slot stuff in the middle. His technical work comes off as quite dry and uninspired and he's not much of a storyteller: he basically wrestles the exact same either as a face or a heel. This isn't to say he's terrible, but he's not anything that I'd say would be near main event quality."

[7.0] "I like Hakushi a lot. He's not necassarily amazing, but he has been a remarkably consistent wrestler throughout his career. He had wars with Bret Hart and 1-2-3 Kid in WWF, and he fought oversees against the likes of Kobashi, and even fought in ECW. When partnered with someone great, you could usually guarantee a great match. Solid guy."

[8.0] "This guy was gifted. He was an amazing performer at high flying. He pretty well as spent most of his career in Japan. In 1994 while WWF was on tour he was selected to wrestle as few matches and then went to North America to wrestle for WWF full time. Even though he did not have much exposure in the States he is best remember as Hakushi in WWF. He was not give a big push. He had a great feud with Bret Hart, having a few main event matches and even defeated Bret in a match. When he was babyface he was not as great. He went back to Japan. He made an returned to North America in 1998 along with Hayabusa in ECW Heat Wave. One of the best Japanese wreslters of the 90`s."

[5.0] "Jinsei Shinzaki had a unique charisma and could do some nice things in the ring. But he needed to be in the ring with a great worker to have good matches; his transition work was awful."

[8.0] "Hakushi is a wrestler that was ahead of his time, with a beast look and excellent work rate. It also helps that he is in charge of Michinoku pro."
