"Some wrestlers want to keep wrestling "until the wheels fall off." Yatsu would scoff at them and call them quitters. You can take an old Japanese dude out of the Showa era, but you can't take the Showa era work ethic out of old Japanese dudes. Moves and wrestles as you would expect from an over-60-year-old amputee."

[8.0] "The man would rightly be a legend for his contributions to Japanese pro wrestling even if he'd retired permanently 20 years ago. Instead, he's taking bookings at 65 damn years old, two years after having his right leg amputated. 'Inspirational' doesn't begin to do him justice."

Kung wrote on 10.07.2021:

"Idk if it would be appropriate for me to give this man a rating because I've only seen him a handful of times, but this man is an inspiration."

[8.0] "Yoshiaki Yatsu was a very good wrestler back in the day. He retired in 2010 and has been training young guns since then."
